For The Rest Of Us with the Reverend Canon Megan Castellan

🎃 Megan Explains: Halloween, All Saints, and All Souls… for the rest of us! 👻


Listen Later

In this spooktacular episode, Canon Megan and Adam dig into the surprisingly Christian roots of Halloween — yes, you heard that right. They trace how trick-or-treating, costumes, and remembering the dead all connect to ancient church traditions like All Saints Day and All Souls Day.

From the sweetness of candy to the solemnity of candles for the departed, Adam and Megan explore how grief, joy, and community come together this time of year. They talk about why the church has always borrowed from culture (hello, pumpkins!) and how honoring the saints and souls can actually deepen our faith — and maybe even make Halloween a little holier.
So grab a fun-sized Snickers, light a candle, and join the conversation about why being a little spooky can be very sacred.
