Nowadays, many Protestants, and  specifically Evangelical Christians,  

Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

tend to disapprove of Halloween due to its  perceived pagan origins and the ways in which  

contemporary celebrations of the holiday are  believed to conflict with Christian values.

Evangelical Christians often emphasize strict  adherence to the teachings of the Bible,  

and many interpret scripture as being in  opposition to engaging with the supernatural  

or participating in practices that might  be seen as celebrating evil or darkness.

Catholics, on the other hand, have a different  historical and theological context for  

understanding Halloween. The connection of  Halloween to All Saints' Day and All Souls'  

Day provides a framework that ties the holiday  more directly to Christian beliefs and practices.

The Catholic tradition of honoring saints  and praying for the deceased fits naturally  

with the historical practices associated with  Halloween, making it easier for Catholics to  

participate in the holiday while still  aligning with their religious beliefs.
