Church Cancells Samhain!
A statement by the Church released today heralded the cancellation of Samhain and Halloween.
This will be the first time the festival has been cancelled since the year 354 when the reigning monarch declared the entire month of October was illegal and temporarily added an extra 31 days to the month of September.
A spokes-bishop took the time to address the gathered press and gave the following statement to our reporter.
“Samhain or Halloween is based on the Ancient Christian festival of All Saints, as such it is clear that the church has the right to cancel this pagan festival of darkness, this has been confirmed by our crack team of Holy Lawyers, Personally, I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner. See you all in Church.”
So there we have it, cancel any plans you had for Friday and put your feet up in front of the telly instead.
