On Halloween and Soul Cakes

Kitchen Meditations with Kendall Vanderslice

Halloween, like other holidays, has its fair share of commercialization and odd customs. But, if you take a closer look, you’ll find deep history, beauty, and tradition as well. Join us as we look at the religious history of Halloween, including the origins of Trick-or-Treating, food traditions like soul cakes, and Martin Luther’s decision to nail the 95 theses on Halloween. Whether you dress up for Halloween every year, or turn off all your lights and hide in the basement during Trick-or-Treating, this episode will inspire you to rethink the holiday and, just maybe, see it as a day for community and remembrance. Listen in.
