Today is 30th of October and tomorrow comes Halloween. So decided to search some info about Halloween. I googled and found out pretty nice article on wikipedia. In the end of article from religion category I discovered this sentence, which made me laugh and surprised at the same time. Here it goes: “Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Halloween for they believe anything that originated from a pagan holiday should not be celebrated by true Christians.” I could suppose the meaning of phrase “true Christian” as Protestant, Catholics or other Christian sects, but not Jehovah’s Witnesses. That’s pretty dummy.
Look, I don’t want here to insult any religious groups’ belief. I’d better continue my speech. And so when I read the article remembered my first Halloween party. That was pretty funny and nice. I had not on costume with imitated bloody or costume of monster which always makes you look like a fright in the cornfield. No, mine was cooler then others. I remember I was in black at all. I had my black top-hat, mantis and stick. And when I walk on the street people looked at me as I was a president or wtv.
And tomorrow comes another Halloween day. I suppose people enjoy and should have a good time.
People often express their opinion about it. Many of them don’t like it because they think it is a antichristian and pagan ritual. Georgian patriarchate has given recommendation to parish not to take part in it. I also have read book which was explaining such kind of events as pagan ritual. So as it seems it isn’t a holly fair, as I realize. But people don’t care about, cause they are going on party for a good time and enjoy, not with an abused desires.
Anyway, I should be very pleased if I see Americans celebrations on “supra”. For cultural relationships. If anybody doesn’t know what the “Supra” means I’ll explain. Well, at first every man sits at “supra” (table on which are various foods, sweet stuff, wine of course and many other things) until the end. And they say toasts to each other especially to him who’s birthday or has happened something important. Then you can say some story from your past life, for exl. How great times were when you could get to
yvelani halovinze!!! :)
