with Rev. Meredith GarmonDía de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a festive celebration in memory of those who have died. Its origins in Mesoamerica go back over 3000 years, even though it was shaped by two Roman Catholic holidays: All Saints Day (November 1) and All Souls Day (November 2). We will honor this tradition and reflect on the loved ones who are no longer with us.Support the show

Welcome to All-Saints Day (November 1st) and the month of giving thanks! Jeff & Cathy dive into the truly remarkable history of the hymn, "Now Thank We All Our God." If you are struggling to find anything to be grateful for this year because of a recent loss, the background of this hymn is an uplifting testimony of how to find faith, and gratitude to God, in even the most dire of circumstances.
Halloween is an odd event—very odd, in a way, because in its origins it was not evil; it was actually good. A number of you probably know that “Halloween” is “All Hallows Even”; in other words, All Hallows Eve—the evening before All Hallows. And “All Hallows” is All Saints day. And, originally, All Saints Day (November 1st) was the day when all the saints were honored. In other words, it's a time that the Church had set aside to honor those people who had lived exemplary lives, who had blessed others by their lives, and were considered saints by the Church at that time.October 31st, though, among non-Christian Celtic people, was a different matter altogether. It was the festival of Samhain. What you may not know is the fact it was also New Year's Eve in Celtic and Anglo-Saxon England at that time. It was actually the end of the old year and the beginning of the new. It took place in the autumn, as a matter of fact. It was an occasion for fire festivals, they lit huge bonfires on top of hills to frighten off the evil spirits, and also it was a time when laws and land tenures were renewed.It harkens back, in a way, to the Old Testament. You'll recall where, in the year of release, all the captives were released. People who have been enslaved because of having been a thief and caught and sold into slavery were turned loose, in the seventh year. That was always in the autumn, not in the spring. In that Jubilee year, all the land again went back to its original family owner—the one who received it by lot. Here they had, in the autumn, a time when all the laws and land tenures were renewed.In the Celtic religions, the dead were supposed to visit their homes on this night. As a consequence, you get the sinister aspects of the festival. And, of course, you had the Celtic Church right alongside of the Roman Church; and the gradual melding that took place in these things over time created something along the lines of Halloween. And though it really became in later times a secular holiday, at the same time it has also retained a lot of those sinister overtones.“Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for divinations, for marriage, for health, for death, and for luck. And it was the only day when the help of the devil was invoked in such matters.” I think that is fascinating. For people who call themselves Christians—who are believers in Christ, people who try to serve God—you can almost see how it would be tempting, in certain circumstances (and I want to talk about that a little later), to get some guidance from that side of the spirit world.Halloween is a night of great evil. But really, it's a night of great evil only because the devil is invoked in some of the customs and some of the practices. If it were nothing but a harvest festival, it probably wouldn't amount to much. The question is: Is there really a devil, and are there demons in a spirit world that come out on Halloween or at other times? I recently received a letter from a long-time correspondent, and he had what I think is easily the most comprehensive set of questions about the spirit world and the paranormal that I have ever received in my life. I mean, to answer it would require me to write a book, “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the Spirit World But Were Afraid To Ask”. And he gave me a really good list. He asked me about spirit sightings, dreams that come true, UFOs, abductions, strange lights, hauntings, healings, psychics, miracles that seem to have nothing to do with God and yet are miracles, and a whole long list. And he asked that, somewhere along the line, I would do a sermon or a tape or something on the subject. And so you owe this sermon today to my friend who wrote to me about this.

This is an audio sermon from All Saints Day (November 2) The scripture reading is from Luke 6:20-31, the Sermon on the Plain. As we are reminded that faith comes by hearing, can you name saints in your life or your church who showed you and told you how God loves you unconditionally? Are you also sharing your faith and love of God with others who might see you as their saints? Can we remember the saints at Living Faith UMC who have helped us who we are today?

All Saints’ Day: November 1, 2017 7:14:26 PM by Charissa Clark Howe
Halloween is, by far, our favorite holiday so this year we're reviewing fun traditions from around the world and matching wines with them. From the blood of Jupiter to drinking wine from a skull, we've got a spooktacular tradition for you to adopt! Here are the 7 traditions we cover and the wines to match: SAMHAIN: IRELAND AND SCOTLAND Ireland is the birthplace of modern Halloween. Origins were in Celtic and Pagan rituals and a festival called Samhain or Samhuinn (end of the light half of the year) DRINKS: Scotch, Irish whiskey, Chilean wine – the most popular wine type in Ireland DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS: MEXICO From November 1 to November 2, Mexico and parts of Latin America celebrate Día de los Muertos, which combines Aztec rituals with Catholic ones. Offerings are left for weary ghosts. For the souls of children, families leave out toys and candy, adults get shots of mezcal and cigarettes! DRINKS: Mezcal or Mexican wine from Valle de Guadalupe or Spanish wine to honor the roots of Mexico drunk out of a skull, the symbol of Dia de los Muertos KAWASAKI HALLOWEEN PARADE: JAPAN At the end of every October for the past 21 years, there is the Kawasaki Halloween Parade. It's huge and elaborate: In 2016 more than 130,000 people attended. DRINKS: SAKE, Champagne/Cremant PANGANGALULUWA: THE PHILIPPINES On night of All Saints’ Day – November 1st -- children go door to door, often in costumes, to ask for prayers for those in purgatory. DRINKS: Tropical fruit, rice, sugar cane and coffee make "wine" in the Philippines, so so something with big American oak that has coconut flavors– Rioja or Zin in American oak will do! THE HUNGRY GHOST FESTIVAL: Hong Kong/China The hungry ghost festival is a month or two earlier than Halloween but has similar traditions! Chinese people make efforts to appease restless ghosts, and feed their own ancestors. Food and drink are left out to sate the appetite of the hungry ghosts. DRINKS: French wine, since it’s the most popular wine type imported into China. Either Bordeaux or Burgundy, especially the 2015s which have been exceptional! OGNISSANTI: Italy (called I Santi on 11/1 and I Morti on 11/2) Halloween is becoming more popular in Italy but many still celebrate All Saint’s Day. Italians visit the graves of loved ones who have passed, place a red candle in the window at sunset, and set a place at the table for those spirits they hope will visit. Every year the Catholic Church reminds people that Halloween is a “heathen tradition” but it's still becoming more mainstream! Halloween-y wines: Aglianico del Vulture, anything from Sangiovese (blood of Jupiter), ALL SAINTS' DAY AND ALL SOULS' DAY: Germany Similar to all Christians, on this day Germans honor the lives of the saints who died for their Catholic beliefs, as well as the souls of dead family members. But they have an added tradition: hiding their kitchen knives so that returning spirits won't be accidentally harmed (or use the knives to harm the living)...Hear M.C. Ice's theory on this one in the 'cast! Halloween-y wines: Walk a knife’s edge with high acid Rheingau Riesling or emulate blood with Apätburgunder from Rheinhessen Happy Halloween!
