When did Catholics cease celebrating Halloween and substitute All Saints Day in its place?
I grew up in the '80s. Catholics were normal back then. We didn't do weird things like the protestants with their fall festivals in lieu of Halloween. Yet, the past few weeks I've seen these posts about celebrating All Saints Day with costumes in lieu of Halloween. What?
Back in the normal '80s, the Catholic schools threw Halloween carnivals. On November 1, you would go to mass because it was a day of obligation. End of story.
I really don't understand how much of the protestant culture has seeped into American Catholic culture.
