It's Halloween, and I've been researching symbols to carve in my pumpkins. I purchased 4 small pumpkins, being everything else was gone at the grocery yesterday. What to carve???? I've carved a cross into at least one each year, redeeming the meaning of Halloween a bit. I've read that the history of children dressing up as ghouls, and trick-or-treating goes way back several centuries. In doing so, these children were actually mocking satan with the truth that he was defeated at the Cross by Jesus death, and His Resurrection! I like that! So, this year since the pumpkins are so small, I'm going to carve the Cross in one, and the symbols for Love-heart, joy-a smiley face, and peace, you know, the first three "fruits of the Spirit". But, I didn't know what symbol to use. In my research, I came across this online-http://www.teachpeace.com/peacesymbolhistory.htm.
So, after reading this, if you're a Christian, you might want to think twice about letting little ones wear clothes with the peace symbol on them, especially since the symbol is everywhere these days.
