Friday Fear Fest (Boca Raton, FL)

Despite our fascination of  creepy monsters and the bogeyman , the  Halloween celebration began as a purification.  Halloween is short for “All Hallows (All Holy) Evening”, the night that precedes All Saint’s Day (November 1st). The lore states that the Saints call forth all unhealed spirits so they can be blessed and released.  So while we are fascinated with the theatrical aspect of Halloween, let us not forget its roots.  If you have any monsters lurking in your closet or grotesque memories that stalk you in the middle of the night, this is the time of the year to let them go!  Life could get creepier; we have an election a day away.
