As we near Halloween night, Christians are faced with the reality of Satan's grip on culture. While many enjoy it as a time to dress up in innocent costumes, you don’t have to go far before seeing a house or person glorifying demonic things.

Though surrounded by darkness, we’re promised the light of life through Jesus. 1 Peter 2:12 reminds us not to seclude from culture, but to live lives that contrast what is worshiped by the pagans.

In this collaboration with Josh Nadeau from Sword and Pencil—the artist behind the “Occupy Til I Come” collection—we see that message powerfully portrayed.

At the top, Saint Michael the Archangel slays the devil beside a plague doctor, depicting a Christian living amid death—wearing a cross and carrying a lantern filled with love.

As the image descends, depictions of death and hell emphasize this contrast. The clean outer border begins to crack and crumble, symbolizing disorder, and at the bottom, the tombstones bear the scripture reference 1 Peter 2:12.
