While promoting his upcoming film "Saving Christmas" during an interview with the Christian Post, "Growing Pains" actor Kirk Cameron decided to give a history lesson on the origins of Halloween and its relation to Christianity.

"The real origins have a lot to do with All Saints Day and All Hallows Eve," he said.

He continued to explain that old church calendars recognize the commercialized holiday under a different name.

"If you go back to old church calendars, especially Catholic calendars, they recognize the holiday All Saints Day, with All Hallows Eve the day before, when they would remember the dead. That's all tied in to Halloween," he added.

Cameron then elaborated on how Christians would wear "devil, ghosts, goblins and witches" costumes on All Saints Day "to make the point that those things were defeated and overthrown by the resurrected Jesus Christ."

But as time has passed, "All Saints Day" is now being celebrated as "Halloween."

Instead of dressing up as a "ghoul" or "goblin," as previously mentioned by Cameron, people are now opting to dress up as other characters such as "Obama," which Cameron claims "pokes fun" at the president and at Christianity.

"The costumes poke fun at the fact that the devil and other evils were publicly humiliated by Christ at His resurrection," Cameron adds. "That's what the Scriptures say, that He publicly humiliated the devil when He triumphed over power and principality and put them under his feet."

Cameron labeled those who wear costumes that allegedly mock the initial intention of Halloween as "pagans who want to go this is our day, high holy day of Satanic church."

Despite his ill feelings towards "pagans," the 44-year-old actor still encourages Christians to celebrate Halloween and have "the biggest party on your block" with the intention of spreading awareness about the Christian meaning of Halloween.

"Halloween gives you a great opportunity to show how Christians celebrate the day that death was defeated, and you can give them Gospel tracts and tell the story of how every ghost, goblin, witch and demon was trounced the day Jesus rose from the grave," Cameron explained.

Cameron's upcoming film, "Saving Christmas" hits theaters Nov. 14.

Cameron also made an appearance on Hallmark's "Home & Family" show to promote his film and pay tribute to "Growing Pains" role Mike Seaver.
