That doesn't necessarily mean anything. The Germans take "Fron Leichnam" off (in English: Corpus Christi) and I challenge you to find a single one of them who knows what it is.
But my point is, there are probably several reasons we don't do a Halloween/All Saints' Day celebration in the LDS church, not the least of which is that no one (in America at least) is thinking of Christ on Halloween. My original comment was meant as a joke, and I'm a little surprised to see it treated seriously.

And what's the prohibition on Latin? Just songs sung in ALL Latin, I presume, since there is Latin in some hymns we sing now. Finally, FWIW, the one talk we had that was sort of Christmas-y (the one that was ostensibly about Mary) included the woman reciting the words to the pop carol "Mary, Did You Know?" I hope what he did wasn't as silly as that one was. |
