As Explained To Me By An Irish Born-Woman

The Festival called Halloween is of Irish Nature, not American. Halloween is All Hallows Eve There. In fact, according to the Old Celtic Calendar, this is the beginning of a New Year. But with Christianity it became All Hallows Eve, replete with Feasting and Bonfires:

Cut with the "Top O' The Morning To You"-It does NOT exist in Irish Culture.

TO those two Irish Ladies on Holiday-Slan Leat!

Halloween Conversations At AOH Division 2-Babylon, LI, NY

Conversations included, NOT THESE 2 Gentlemen, but more serious things such as the Inclusions of Latin in The Mass, something which The Rebels of Vatican II, didn't wish to address. The place, where these 2 Gentlemen, conducted their torturous dialogues, is being dismantled:


Peggy, one of the Students of The Gerry Tobin Irish Language School, sings at Funeral Masses. She asked me if I had witnessed a Latin Mass, so I answered in the affirmative. I mentioned that where I go to Mass on Occasion, that certain prayers such as the "Sanctus" are sung in Latin, as well as the "Agnus Dei", The "Kyrie"(Greek) and the Communion Antiphon;


To her this is a Good thing, as Latin was NEVER MEANT, by Vatican II, to go the way of Shea Stadium. In short, Latin was to be preserved in The Mass, in various Prayers such as the "Pater Noster", The "Credo", amongst other things;


Latin is The Universal Language of The Church-it MUST be Preserved;

NOW That Baseball Is Wrapped Up, I Shall Be Writing Other Subjects For A Few Days Like HALLOWEEN

Imagine no -uck and Mc Cavah, to kick around anymore. Can you imagine Halloween Masks of both Doofus Joe and Tim Mc Fullofs--t? How well are they selling?

Probably not too well, as who TF watched "The World Series On FOX"? Who would buy a "Jeffy" Mask?

The Not So American Holiday of Halloween is here. Let's just say it originated in Ireland, which, according to my spies, is turning into a veritable "East New York", as Ireland isn't Ireland, anymore. Can Anyone say "75 Precint", as it would be said in my Native Brooklyn?

1st of all, Halloween was at One Time, Irish New Years Eve, as November 1st on the Irish Calendar, was New Years Day, in Pre-Christian Ireland. When Ireland was Christianised, It became "All Hallows Eve";

In The Pagan Form, food was left out, with the hope that evil spirits would eat the food and leave those folks at home, alone. It was a "Fright Night", later evolving into parties and bonfires. Halloween survived in Ireland and made it to these shores;

In the modern form, it got a bit nasty. Stores are not selling eggs and shaving cream to minors, here in NYC. The Americanised version of Halloween has made it in Europe and a lot of people are pissed off over there, probably from the sale of -uck and Mc Cavah Masks, not to mention all the hair dye that goes with it;

Oh, Well! Trick Or Treat! Please don't get made up to look like THESE TWO!

Later!
