«A Noite das Bruxas» is the historical-religious essay by Paolo Gulisano and Brid O'Neill, published by Lucerna in paperback (96 pages, in Portuguese).
The book starts from a question: how the Christian feast of All Saints ended up becoming today's Halloween, that masquerade of costumes and terror. The authors reconstruct that evolution over recent decades and recover the practices and original meaning of the festivity, from its beginnings.
The cover bears the subtitle 'história da festa de Halloween'. The text was originally published in 2006; the Lucerna edition is from 2007.
For readers of cultural history and Christian spirituality interested in the origin of Halloween and the feast of All Saints.
