Welcome to Form Now.

I'm Tim Gray, President of the Augustine Institute.

And joining me is Dr. Elizabeth Klein.

And we're going to talk, this weekend is going to be Halloween, All Souls, All Saints,

so these two great festivals.

And of course, the world has really spun off from what the church does

and praying for all souls and they you have all these great Halloween all hollows Eve is what

it's supposed to be a Halloween as we call it now and so we're going to talk about this weekend and

the meaning of these two great celebrations these solemnity of all saints and all souls.

And what that means. And let's just talk about Halloween because that's how people enter into it.

Of course, Halloween has become such a great commercial holiday. All the stores love to have Halloween decorations.

They love to sell Halloween candy. so it's a major commercial enterprise.

And everyone gets spun up and you get all these costumes. And of course, I remember as a kid

growing up that after the Star Wars movie, so that kind of shows you how old I am, the

original Star Wars. And my favorite Halloween was that Star Wars where I was Luke Skywalker. I had a

lightsaber. But my sister was Princess Leia, my younger sister and my younger brother was R2D2.

My mom made this incredible. She would make costumes for us. She was amazing. Our mom spoiled us.

And she would make these handmade costumes. And my brother was R2D2. And it won all these awards for school

and all these things for best costume.

Because they got this big cylinder,

cardboard cylinder, and she had tinfoil over the top

with mesh wiring.
