The practices of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regarding the holiday of October 31st vary significantly. There is no official church doctrine prohibiting or promoting engagement in Halloween traditions. Therefore, individual choices are guided by personal beliefs, family customs, and local community norms.
Participation in Halloween-related activities often reflects a desire to foster community spirit and provide safe, enjoyable experiences for children. Some families may prioritize wholesome alternatives to traditional Halloween events, focusing on activities such as harvest festivals or themed parties that minimize potentially frightening or inappropriate elements. The choice to partake is generally made with consideration for family values and a desire to align with gospel principles.
