Celebrate Reformation Day as the authentic alternative to Halloween

Oct. 7, 2008 - PRLog -- The authentic alternative to celebrating Halloween commemorates the actual day, in 1517, when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany.  His action ignited the Reformation.  That’s why many Christians and churches celebrate Reformation Day on October 31.  Now Lee Cuesta has published an online how-to article aimed at enabling families to join the Reformation Day tradition.

“I recently read another article on the evils of Halloween, but I still think we miss the boat if we don’t go beyond Christian dress-up and really think about and appreciate our Reformation heritage,” states one woman who wrote to Lee Cuesta after reading his advice.

Cuesta says:  “Unfortunately, most modern Christians are not aware that this part of our spiritual heritage is even remotely linked with October 31.  Instead, overwhelmed by secular influences, this date has reverted to its pagan significance.  However, the answer to this dilemma is very clear and logical, as we’ve demonstrated for many years in our family.  At age 491, the Reformation continues its daily influence in our lives with its heritage based on the Bible and faith.  Thus, with the celebration of Reformation Day being so vital, one wonders why any interest in Halloween still lingers.”

“How to Celebrate Reformation Day With Your Family,” by Lee Cuesta, has just been published at eHow.com.  The link to access his article directly is:

It provides seven concise steps that assist the readers to celebrate Reformation Day in their homes with their families, neighbors and friends.  Cuesta will soon post another article at eHow.com describing how to celebrate Reformation Day in a church.

“It is hard to find the detailed ‘how-to’ articles that answer most questions,” says Cuesta.  “Most of the time the articles are much too simplified.  That’s why I write how-to’s in which I emphasize completeness.”

Cuesta continues:  “It’s also hard to find the good ones – like mine – because there’s a flood of similar ones that precede it.  How can anyone expect to wade through 500 potential articles just to find the good one?  So at eHow.com,  all they need to do is search for LeeCuesta (no space) in the Members section, and they’ll go directly to my articles.”
