All Hallows' Eve
Katherine Jenkins is in Blackpool to discover the Christian tradition of All Hallows’ Eve and how faith in the town is reflected in its world-famous illuminations.
As the nights draw in, Katherine Jenkins is in Blackpool to shine a light on the Christian tradition of All Hallows’ Eve, more commonly known as Halloween. She visits the church of All Hallows in Bispham and speaks to Reverend Jonny Lee to learn about the history of this annual event and how Christians are choosing to celebrate it.
Laura Wright meets Sarah Davison from Scripture Union and hears how they are creating 'light parties' for children, which share the Bible’s message of Jesus as the light of the world as an alternative to Halloween parties. And we meet Keith and Jenny Raby, a local Christian couple and professional musicians who use musical ministry and outreach to spread the word of God to those most in need.
Katherine also discovers how a group of local churches got together to ensure Jesus and his message are represented in Blackpool’s world-famous Illuminations.
