Consider Halloween, which according WIKIPEDIA is:

Halloween is the evening before the Christian holy days of All Hallows' Day (also known as All Saints' or Hallowmas) on 1 November and All Souls' Day on 2 November, thus giving the holiday on 31 October the full name of All Hallows' Eve (meaning the evening before All Hallows' Day).

Currently, most people celebrate evil spirits not holy people.

If you dressed up as Saint Francis of Assisi (who San Francisco is named after, you would be celebrating a HOLY PERSON/Holy Spirt.

Angels are also Holy Spirts (Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Gabriel the Archangel.

The Gospel of Luke starts off with an APPARITION of a WOMAN named MARY by the ARCHANGEL Gabriel.

However, I am getting into an area where FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY help greatly to understand.

Dear topher,

re: ‘However, I am getting into an area where FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY help greatly to understand. ‘

Military veterans know all there is to know about ‘faith’.
Amidst all my morning medications (numbers more than fingers to count), ‘hope’ is to see my adoptive granddaughter - the target of my ‘charity’, graduate high school with letters in cross-country, basketball, and track and field.

Happy Hallowe’en.
