Praying for the dead did not came to be because of Samhain. It's as if Kuya Kim is implying that this practice only happened so that the old Pagans may continue their practice in a Cristian sense. Well in fact, praying for the dead DID NOT COME from/because of Paganism but from JUDAISM. It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. (2 Macabesse 12:46). And since much of Christianity came from Judaism (as the Pope said-the Jews are our older brothers in the faith), the practice of praying for the dead was simply passed on to us.
