Russians and the Russian Orthodox Church fully understand what lies behind Halloween, the holiday that far too many ‘Murikans take for granted innocent fun. [Translated]:

If you are going to celebrate Halloween at work, you can declare your protest or simply ignore this event, said the Priest, rector of the temple in honor of the Seven-shot Icon of the Virgin Elijah Savastyanov, in an interview with LIFE.ru. According to him, it depends on the relationship in the team.

In fact, you can react to Halloween celebrations, costume parties in two ways: either decisively declare your protest, or calmly ignore it. It is necessary to choose depending on the relationship in the team, as well as the degree of imposition, — explained the Priest.

The Priest noted that Christians should not celebrate this holiday. Believers must explain to the rest the essence of Halloween. Instead, you can gather for a quiz, quest, or just arrange gatherings. If you want to have a costume party, you can choose a different topic, Savastyanov added.

Earlier, Elena Drapeko, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Culture, said that no need import substitution of Halloween or rename it, because you just need to ban this holiday. She noted. that this holiday is a propaganda of dark forces. The deputy added that there are no options for how this holiday could be converted into a domestic format.

In too many ways, Halloween is or has become the most ‘Murikan holiday of them all. It won’t be banned, or even shunned by many ‘Muricans, until the US has completely dissolved. God Bless Russia for leading the way against demonic forces, whether of military and economic import, or of frivolous revelry. Protest or ignore, but do not celebrate.
