00:00 This is the time of fear.
00:04 You know Susan, like what we talked about yesterday,
00:07 there's a deeper reason for the use of the "undas"
00:11 and there's a proper way to use this holy day.
00:14 It's holy, it's said to be holy.
00:16 That's the story of Yvonne Aquino.
00:19 During Halloween parties,
00:25 kids rarely see their favorite characters or scary costumes.
00:30 But the Catholic Church wants to change this habit.
00:35 It's time for Catholic children to dress up as saints.
00:39 At the Santissimo Rosario Parish Church in Manila,
00:46 some kids gathered while they dress up as saints.
00:51 This is the second year of their Parade of Saints.
00:54 Mary Ann's children were also there.
00:57 Her eldest daughter, Saint Therese of Lisieux, was dressed up as a saint.
01:01 The other daughter, Saint Pedro Calungsod, was dressed up as a Filipino saint.
01:05 Mary Ann says that Saint Therese was a big believer in God
01:10 that's why she was chosen to dress up as a saint.
01:12 Sometimes, I would have a pain in my stomach.
01:16 I would pray to Saint Therese.
01:20 We would be completely free.
01:22 And now, I have my husband.
01:26 Since the University of Santo Tomas,
01:29 kids have been dressing up as saints.
01:32 It's better that this kind of event happens every year.
01:41 It's good that at least,
01:44 he recognizes the saints that we believe in.
01:50 In Tayuman, Manila,
01:52 some students and parents also attended their Parade of Saints.
01:56 Each section of the Parade of Saints has a representative.
01:59 They put in a lot of effort to dress up as saints.
02:04 If you portray them,
02:06 you're inviting them to come into your house.
02:09 I want to bring the kids closer to Jesus
02:13 so that they can get to know Him better.
02:16 You should know that November 1, or All Saints Day,
02:19 is called All Hallows Day,
02:21 or the night before the holy day of saints.
02:25 It is also believed that Halloween started with the Celts,
02:28 an ancient tribe in Europe 2,000 years ago.
02:32 In the time of their so-called "Sawin",
02:34 the other side of the world opens up every year
02:37 on the eve of their new year, which happens every November 1.
02:41 The Celts wear costumes like heads and skins of animals
02:45 to ward off the evil spirit.
02:47 But why does the Catholic Church want to change
02:50 the scary Halloween custom?
02:53 For Fr. Paul Talavera, the parish priest of the SantÃsimo Rosario Parish Church,
02:57 the Parade of Saints is a reminder to the saints of the Church
03:01 to have an alternative for our parents in the trick-or-treat.
03:06 What we should promote as Catholics is the life of saints,
03:10 the holy men and women who obeyed our Lord.
03:16 We highlight the goodness over the darkness and the evil.
03:21 They have the idea that the saints are not far from people,
03:27 that they can be imitated or imitated.
03:30 Because they rejected our faith,
03:33 the Church recognized them as saints.
03:37 A large part of the Catholic life is faith and devotion to the saints.
03:42 In the dress and remembrance of the lives of the saints,
03:45 this is where they show their faith and devotion.
03:50 I am Bona Kino, and that is the story you need to know.
