Father Leo discusses whether Catholics can celebrate Halloween, exploring its roots in both pre-Christian and Catholic traditions. He explains that while Halloween can be celebrated, it should focus on the Christian message of light and victory over death, not just its darker, commercialized aspects. Father Leo highlights how fear and the occult fascinate people due to humanity's brokenness, but Christ calls us to live in the light. He concludes with advice for parents on how to celebrate Halloween in a faith-centered way, keeping its holy meaning in focus.
