🕯️ Happy Halloween from all of us! 🕯️

A little fact from our era: around the year 1000, Abbot Odilo of the great abbey of Cluny set aside 2 November as All Souls' Day, a day for praying for all the departed. During the 11th century it spread across Western Christendom, and with All Saints' Day on 1 November it became part of the Hallowtide season. Medieval folk spent these nights lighting candles and ringing bells for the dead, and many of our Halloween traditions grew out of that.

Our members are out asking the neighbours for treats tonight... and if there are none, the trick will be a tank through the front door. 🛡️🎃

Stay safe out there, and may your candles stay lit! ⚔️
