A Frenzy Dissolved

God and mother nature, to the faithful connotes a leaning. The media blitz was deafening, whilst the commercial side was buzzed with equal strength, filled with items in names and images that reflects an outlook of the season. What started as religious markings turned cultural with carnival touch

Not enough that we were expecting all night out, not enough the fun with pun gantry embedded in the cacophony of activities that herald accompany and rounded up the chain of events

What started by the Catholic Church as mark of day of the Saints, usually by holy Mass, a religious event and occasion. Gave birth to another form of religion in name of Halloween, this time initiated to herald the mark of the day set aside by mother church for all Saints day, kind of a vigil night for following d-day

Ironically turned out to what look like an offering and reverence of idol worshipping, looking at the various costumes and dressings in images replica of either vampires, fieries demons, at least someone sees it as such, the excitement anxiety  and expectations of young lads and even grown-ups was religiously infectious 

Most high pitched a day before, however, build up to 31st day of October was frenzy, intensely wild and compulsive agitated activity with mental cum emotional agitation. A temporary madness

Almost as if everything hadn’t been planned, it started drizzling, God opens the heavens, what appear to be temporary light rain gave way to real downpour in Saint Paul, movement became lackadaisical, would you go round in wet grounds with accompanying cold in name of what and for what.
