Tonight is trick or treat in my city. I have an 8 year old daughter who I have always taken trick or treating. She dresses up as a saint every year. After doing some research I'm now concerned. I have heard priests and a variety of Christians say that it's not okay to take your children trick or treating as a Christian. A former Satanist said witches can cast spells or put curses on the candy they hand out and you can become cursed by eating it. An eastern priest actually compared it to communion of satin. I have heard excorcists speak of food with curses put on it. What should I do? Should we stay home? Should we collect the candy and just not eat it? My daughter would be very sad if we didn't go but I dont want to put her in danger. Thanks.
Go to neighbors that you know. stay away with homes that are overly decorated.
Halloween used to be fun.. so sad. Going trick or treating for candy from neighbors was fun.
(Sometimes chapels will have parties for children or parties at private homes. )
Rosary, bonfire, bobbing for apples , pot luck , cutting out jack O lanterns, piñatas , hayride, costume contest. It’s not trick or treating. It’s actually more fun.
