Avoid Halloween say Urk clergyTuesday 21 October 2008 Eighteen clergymen in the strongly religious fishing village of Urk have written to their local paper urging locals not to get involved in Halloween celebrations on October 31, the Telegraaf reports. Halloween is 'playing with God's arch enemy' and 'based on the rituals of heathen religions', the ministers say. © DutchNews.nl Get the DutchNews.nl newsletter in your mailbox: Click here to subscribe
Erm, God's arch enemy, presumably the Devil, plays no part in Halloween, All Hallows Even or Samhain, as it's variously called. It's basically a harvest festival and 'devilish' costumes were worn to ward off evil spirits not attract them. By Garry | October 22, 2008 12:26 PM New York is named after Urk. They named it New Urk. Later "Y"ankees placed the Y for Urk making it New Yurk........New York........see!? By jelle | October 30, 2008 12:37 PM Hey Garry, If I see your criticism, you never have been in Urk. Urk is a very religious, cristian village, and the people fight for them principle. It is very nice to stay at Urk. My English is not as good as an American, but you will understand. A dutch Urk fan.
