A church in Norfolk has ‘engaged directly with the forces of darkness’ at Halloween - to show the power of Christ.
At St Mary Magdalene Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, hundreds of queuing trick-or-treaters were challenged to enter a ‘battle zone’ to discover ‘Light on a Dark Night’. Around 400 of them climbed into the pitch black, smoke-filled church building and took on a series of battles against the darkness.
In the Dark Zone, where participants waged war against a witch and other tasks such as diamond-searching in a slime-filled bath and a whack-a-mole ghost, the forces of darkness were too strong.
