Halloween is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It is at the beginning of the observance of All Hallowtide, the time in the Christian liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. In popular culture, Halloween has become a celebration of horror and is associated with the macabre and the supernatural.
Very interesting how this evolved. Big business now. I thought only the Catholics and Orthodox prayed for the souls of the dead with lighting of candles and services. Great background info. thx
Apparently October 31, 1517 is the date that Martin Luther posted his 95 thesis on the Wittenberg doors - this was the start of the Reformation which led to the formation of the Protestant church. This was a courageous act by Martin Luther because he exposed the corruption of the Christian message by the Roman Catholic church which focused on parishioners giving indulgences (money) for the forgiveness of their sins. I just learned this from my Dutch friend who said Oct 31st was a big deal in Holland and he remembers celebrating it as a kid. He is 88 today. Interesting
His upcoming world tour, before which he died, threatened to awaken many people to the situation "they" (the ruling elite, or controllers) put "us" (we the people) in.

loved Michael's moves. Wonder what happened to him.
Something fishy, for sure. He died right before his world tour, "They don't really care about us." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFUvTE7TK6s

Another suspicious death.
