WELCOME TO THE "DAY OF THE DEAD!"

“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you a necromancer or one who inquires of the dead, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord." (Deuteronomy 18:9-12)

Today is the sub-cultural celebration of "All Souls Day," practiced primarily by Latino communities, a day which they call the "Day of the Dead."  Some scholars say it originated with the Aztec tribes and the worship of the goddess Mictecacihuatl, the "Lady of the Dead." 

The observance of the Day of the Dead has quietly infiltrated the American culture because, in my opinion, of decades of unbridled mass immigration from countries which have observed this demonic religious holiday for centuries. I say this because it was virtually unknown in America 50 years ago.  The observance of Day of the Dead influences and even mirrors the rise of the popularity of the "Walking Dead"; the explosive trend of Skull jewelry and symbols; Halloween becoming as big a holiday as Christmas once was.  But is this a good thing? Take a listen to the origins and meaning of this dark day of necromancy:


"Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
~ 2nd Corinthians 6:14
