Halloween's Dark Origins: Celts, Death, and the Call to Re-Christianize

In this convicting episode, Jesse Romero, retired Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputy, three-time World Police Olympics boxing champion, former U.S.A. middleweight kickboxing champion, and full-time bilingual Catholic evangelist with a Master's in Catholic Theology, delves into the origins and modern implications of Halloween. Drawing from his high-stakes law enforcement experiences encountering the demonic and his deep theological knowledge, Romero traces the holiday's roots to the ancient Celtic pagan festival of Samhain, associated with death, spirits, and Druid rituals, and its evolution through Christian influences into All Hallows' Eve. He challenges Catholics to question the glorification of ugliness, evil, and the occult in contemporary celebrations, urging families to "baptize" the day through evangelization, prayer (like the Rosary or St. Michael Chaplet), sacramentals, and focusing on saints rather than ghouls. Romero emphasizes reorienting the culture toward Christ (Ephesians 1:10), providing practical tips for safe participation or alternatives, such as parish events or dressing as virtuous figures, while promoting his book Spiritual Warfare Questions and Answers for Priest and Laity as a resource for combating secular and satanic influences in daily life.
