The priests of Turin eparchy intend to organize a kind of Anti-Halloween on October 31st, as it is reported in La Stampa newspaper. The feast will be called "The Night of All Saints and the Mystery" (Notte dei Santi e dei Misteri). Adults and children disguised as angels will distribute white chocolate to the passers-by. The feast must become an answer to Halloween, which acquires greater and greater vogue and is criticized by the Church. The priests want to organize a joyous and bright, "angelic" feast instead of the night of the ghosts, horrors, terrifying costumes and intimidation of the passers-by.
Children won't demand sweeties from adults, but will distribute them. Together with the animators dressed in white, they will invite all comers to take part in the Night of All Saints and the Mystery, which will end with the festival divine service in St. Pelagia's Church.
