The word Hallow means to 'make holy' or to 'sanctify'. Halloween is the eve of the Christian festival of All saints. I don't deny that the major Christian festivals are at times that counter pagan celebrations. It just that the word Halloween is a Christian term but very few people seem to...

Here is a 'eve' of All Hallows hymn

Halloween means the eve of All Hallows or All Saints so the emphasis on Ghouls and Ghosts is a load of nonsense. We should be walking around dressed up as saints! Bonfire night is has much more of a 'pagan' origin but its also connected with the Gunpowder plot. I don't go in for either event but...

I ran the Beachy Head Marathon yesterday in 4 hrs 27 mins and 28 secs which knocked ten minutes off last year's run which was a much windier day. Its a great marathon but very tough.

Please have a read of this story and pass on A Brighton mum is making a global appeal to find a stem cell donor for a bone marrow transplant. She has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. She is trying to find a perfect bone marrow match. http://perfecttenmatch.co.uk/...

No it is a stereotype. There are contributors to this board who like to criticise Catholics in particular and religion in general even if its not relevant to the OP.

To be fair to Pieterson I don't think he is refusing to play rather than the coaches have decided to play the youngsters, as they have little chance of promotion.

I am afraid the hospital and the police have over acted in this case. There must have been a real breakdown in communication at the hospital which the management are now reviewing. The parents may be misguided but they are the parents of the child and not the state authorities. They are been...

The parents have been handcuffed whilst taken off by the local police. What crime did they commit?

It won't be long before anyone who refuses the challenge will be handed a white feather for cowardice.
