...and as a reminder that what we now call 'Halloween' actually derives from the phrase: "All Hallow's Eve", meaning the evening before we celebrate the actual Holiday: All Saints Day, every November 1st, where we remember and honor those individuals who have been recognized as leading such exemplary lives of faith, or having previously not done so, converted and became great examples of redemption in faith (see: St. Augustine of Hippo) , that they are lifted above as examples of how we all might strive to live and reconcile ourselves as human beings, with each other and with our Creator:
Had fun making our costumes and trick or treating with the kiddos last night, and looking forward to celebrating the holiday today, and you can, too!

Quote:St. Augustine of Hippo is the patron of brewers because of his conversion from a former life of loose living, which included parties, entertainment, and worldly ambitions. His complete turnaround and conversion has been an inspiration to many who struggle with a particular vice or habit they long to break.

Or still early, depending on whether you use the Julian or Gregorian calendar.

Good point. Sort of whether the Day of Christ's resurrection is to be celebrated on Easter or Pascha Sunday. But even the latter depends on differing calendars.
