Satanic Temple's Convention Arrives in Boston

The Satanic Temple's sold-out three-day event, SatanCon, will take place in Boston this weekend, marking the largest satanic gathering in history. The event will include satanic rituals, entertainment, and discussion panels. The group advocates for the separation of church and state and empathy for all. A Christian event called Revive Boston! will also be held in the city this weekend, and some Catholic churches are passing out prayer cards. Given past threats, SatanCon organizers say they will have robust security at the event.

SatanCon 2023: The Controversial Satanic Gathering in Boston.

The Satanic Temple is holding its SatanCon convention in Boston this weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The organization, which does not formally deify Satan, sees him as a literary character and a necessary rebel while mocking traditional religion and calling out government's embrace of institutions like the Catholic Church. The convention, which is sold out, is scheduled to include the temple's rituals, a marketplace, and a wedding chapel. The temple has clashed with the Catholic Church before, and the archdiocese is counterprogramming with a weekend of solemn events. The Satanic Temple is a legitimate church recognized by the U.S. government.
