What at first might seem a little odd to be a rosary - ghosts? spiders? witches hats? - makes more sense when we consider the origin of Halloween.
The three feast days of Halloween, All Saints' Day and All Soul's Day are sometimes referred to as the second, or minor, Triduum. Like the Great Triduum of Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, the three days of Halloween follow the actions of Christ. The big difference, of course, being that the Easter Triduum re-presents the actual, historical saving event of the Messiah, while the Halloween Triduum celebrates the personal salvation stories of the individual men and women who participated in the saving actions of God to such an extent that we now call them saints. But we also remember and pray for those who still need our help.
This rosary is a wonderful way to participate in the Minor Triduum, by praying for those who have gone before us and meditating on our own shortcomings. A great way to put the "holy" back in "All Hallows Eve."
