ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- At least two religious personalities in the Virgin Islands have come out against a Halloween event being promoted by the youth arm of the National Democratic Party (NDP).

According to the flyer shared on social media, A Halloween Treat Fest is slated for October 31, 2026, at Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

‘Celebration of the demonic kingdom’

According to Apostle R. Tasha Toussaint, on her Facebook page, The Alabaster Box, today, October 20, 2026, she was disturbed to learn of the event to celebrate Halloween.

“Halloween is a celebration of the demonic kingdom and should not be taken casually by what we call a Christian society. It is a season when the border between the spiritual world and the physical world becomes very porous.

“If we understood the things of the spirit and engaged in spiritual mapping, we would have seen patterns of strange things happening around this time over the last ten years”

Toussaint claimed that during this time, demonic covenants are being renewed by seeking blood.

“Virgin Islands, please protect our children and return to our spiritual foundation,” Toussaint stated.

Leave Leviathan ‘at the bottom of the ocean’- Theresa Felix

Meanwhile, Theresa Felix also shared similar sentiments and called on the NDP to reconsider the event.

“As a Christian Community that is already struggling with occultic spirits, divination, oppression, suppression and idolatry, why are we promoting Halloween?”

Felix added on her Facebook page, the gates of the VI need to be protected.

“Stop creating open doors in ignorance. Spiritual warfare is real. The doors that are already open are challenging enough. We have to draw a line and decide what we stand for as a people.”

Felix called on NDP chairman Honourable Marlon A. Penn (R8) to urge the organisers to change the event to something more community-based, “without attracting more witchcraft and the demonic over the territory. Leave Leviathan where it is in the bottom of the ocean,” Felix stated.

Our News Centre can confirm that the Halloween event has been sanctioned by the NDP.

      Halloween celebrations have been going on for years all over the island for the children to dress up in costumes and have fun. Funny, you don't try to squash the morning tramp with the sinful twisting and turning, with children watching these vulgar acts on the streets. Where is your outrage about that? HYPOCRITES!

          @@Fran. Where is the hypocrisy? There is NOT a BIG BACKLASH about Rise and Shine Tramp from the Christian community regularly all year long to stop it. They haven't stopped a thing. So why attack children for having a day of fun, which is hurting no one? So should there be a ban on Easter Egg hunts that show a rabbit holding a basket of eggs, knowing well that rabbits give birth and don't lay eggs? The true meaning of Easter is when Jesus Christ rose from the dead after 3 days of his burial. I never hear any protests about that. I find your way of thinking selective and disturbing.

      Christian Influence: In the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as All Saints' Day (All Hallows') to honor saints and martyrs. The evening before became known as All Hallows' Eve, which eventually shortened to Halloween.

    Now I didn’t grow up celebrating Halloween and I didn’t involve my kids in it but people need to stop spewing nonsense without doing their own research!

    One of the most overlooked historical facts is that Halloween's name comes directly from Christianity.
    The word Halloween is a shortened form of All Hallows' Eve, meaning the evening before All Saints' Day and then All Souls’ Day.

    All Saints' Day honours Christian saints, while All Souls' Day is traditionally associated with prayers for the departed, especially in Catholic Christianity.

    Has nothing to do with Satan or the Leviathan nonsense these 2 are spewing.

      Go do some more modern research to see what goes on the night of Halloween. When it knocks at one child disappearing with sucked out blood, you will understand, especially with the influx of all these heathens being let into our country.
      The issue here is Halloween, not pot holes.

    The holiday of Halloween also traces its roots to All Saints’ Day, a day commemorating all the saints of the Christian church, both known and unknown, who have attained heaven. There are varied accounts for its origins. In the 7th century ce Pope Boniface IV originally established what would become All Saints’ Day on May 13. In the 8th century Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel in St. Peter’s, Rome, on November 1 in honor of all saints, and the day was kept thereafter, perhaps in part to supplant pagan holidays with a Christian observance. The evening before All Saints’ Day, October 31, was later designated as All Hallows’ Eve, from which the name Halloween evolved

      @ Roger Burnett, you are so right. I grew up in the SDA church from birth. Friday to Saturday sunset, I was virtually a prisoner and couldn't do what the other children in my neighborhood did to have fun; then back to school Monday to Friday. I was too afraid to speak my mind or go against my teachings. This led me to not follow my heart in the field of education I wanted, which stunted my mental growth. I broke away and got married, and never attended any church for the rest of my life. That's how traumatizing my life was. I am a fully functional adult and will never allow anyone to change my thoughts or feelings. My life, my rules. My children are grown, and each chose different fields of education and are fine, fully successful adults, because I let them spread their wings and fly.

    The Christain Community comes alive against Halloween but stays silent against drugs, drug runners like Fahie, killers of little girls, crime in general.

    But lights up against Halloween.

    What a morally bankrupt version of Christianity we have been left with here, with our fake Bishops and pastors mouthing off at every turn, and a blind eye turned to crime, criminals and the dirty deeds of politicians and their friends.

    A word to the wise!
    This is deeply disturbing.
    Some people seem to see nothing wrong with the trends being established, as long as they can enjoy themselves. Yet we must remember: “What you sow, you will reap.” The excuses are familiar: there is nothing for the children to do, the territory is boring, this happens all over the world, and there are bigger issues to address. (The world is in a mess) Meanwhile, we are slowly poisoning our children and then wondering why our society has become what it is.
    Instead of bashing the ladies for speaking out, we must take responsibility for our own folly. When our children become broken vessels, we send them to the church to be repaired and call the pastor at all hours for help. Yet we criticize the Church for speaking out against the very problems we allowed to grow. Is that not troubling? Have we not learned that what we overlook today, however small it may seem, can become a major problem tomorrow?
    I stand with the two ladies. At the same time, we must be proactive by creating wholesome programs for our children and communities. We cannot keep following the patterns of a system that offers our children as sacrifices to demonic spirits. Some doors we open can be shut only by Jehovah.
    If there is a meaningful conversation to be had, let us have it openly and honestly instead of hiding behind media posts and bashing one another.
    What do we gain from tearing one another down while our children pay the price?

    A word to the wise!

    That being said, I am disappointed that this is what the so-called Christian community chooses to stand firm against. This is the outcry that is heard and actioned upon. So called demonic forces and the devil's birthday. Since when do you Christians believe more in the power of the devil than the power of God. I will not deny that there are spiritual attacks out there but do not confuse that with a fun and harmless event meant to entertain children. This whole movement screams fear/ignorance and in this essay, I will.....
