Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church reminded believers that Halloween “has nothing to do with Christianity”

Representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church on the eve of Halloween once again warned of its "provocative" nature and recalled the divergence of this holiday from the traditions of national culture.

“For our country, Halloween is something completely alien. It came from a marginal environment to a marginal environment, that is, it has taken root among teenagers who are experiencing nihilistic moods, the stage of denying everything in the world,” said the dean of the psychology department of the Russian Orthodox University named after the Apostle John Theologian Priest Andrei Lorgus.

A. Lorgus urged to remember that the Halloween holiday "has nothing to do with Christianity."
