I just received my ikon ornaments for the store...

Glory to Jesus Christ!

Not an Orthodox Holiday, regardless the true history.

Glory to Him Forever!

Truly, there are so many stories about the origin of Hallowe'en, that I know not what is fable and what is fact. But even if that priest's story was 100% true, it would be a Catholic holiday based on the Western calendar and placement of All Souls Day. God Bless!

I agree, great post!

Glory to Jesus Christ!

That is one thing that I agreed with, when Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson (I forget which) said that we can't call ourselves a country of God when we don't pray, we don't live up to God' standards or even try, so how can we expect a veil of protection over America, for we ...
