Chapter 174 007's One-Day Tour of the Creation Church Headquarters
On December 30, the cold air cyclone heading south swept across the eastern part of the United States again, and light snow fell everywhere, which also turned Ryan into a white spot again.
The tiny snowflakes as crumbled as ice crystals slowly fell from the sky, gently hitting the children running around in the snow, adding a little insignificant burden to the little guys' down jackets covered with snow marks.
"It's finally a holiday..."
Looking at the elementary school students running by the road outside the window, Alvin couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he pushed open the bedroom window, ignored the chill outside, and reached out to catch a snowflake.
With a cool feeling, this "winter elf" quickly transformed into a drop of tiny water droplets, and then gradually evaporated under the spontaneous magic reaction of someone's body...
Watching all this, Alvin chuckled and withdrew his palm, raised his head, and looked at the block opposite him.
——That is the direction where Baihe Gymnasium is located.
As a nominal "orphan" and also a prospective son-in-law who is just short of getting a formal certificate from the Mu family, Alvin naturally wants to go to Baihe Gymnasium tonight's New Year's Eve.
Regarding this matter, I don’t know why Mu Feng, who was extremely active, had already communicated with him in advance two days ago.
Even after the study session last night, my father-in-law drove to pick up Xueli, and then confirmed with him the arrangements for the Spring Festival holidays these few days.
"The gifts for Mufeng, Xueli, Qianwei, Rosen and Hodell are ready, and they are rushing over with something before noon.
Help clean up, then have lunch together, and then prepare for the New Year's Eve reunion dinner...
The time seems to be just right, so follow the plan and take advantage of the morning to complete the third step of the [Human Great Unity Plan].”
Someone who had been waiting for today to arrive came to think of this and suddenly twisted his body.
Then, he briefly transformed into a "high-frequency warrior", and suddenly a seemingly inconspicuous black "glass ball" appeared in his hand.
But if a mage looks at the ball, he will find that a large amount of golden holy light has been accumulated in this shoddy "energy storage".
Play with this one made by the banshee girl using the brain core crystal of a sea monster. Then she instilled magic props of holy light for half a month in another world, and then looked at the equipment bar.
【Healing Scroll】 and 【Fraud Gate】.
Make sure everything is ready, Alvin's attention begins to turn to the shadow 007.
At this time, this "ghost spy" who was highly anticipated by someone in terms of name had already arrived at the holy city of Creation, Santia, located in the Arles continent, in the holy city of Creation.
It has even left the land of humanity in this legendary God of Creation after completing his creation, especially in the Cathedral of Holy Grace, which is the core of Creationism. It has wandered all day long and discovered many interesting things, even Creation
The shocking melon of the world religion.
(I originally wanted to write a lot, but I looked at the crab clip above my head...)
However, today's focus is definitely not on the gossip of Creation Buddhism.
So Shadow 007 finally staggered away from the church that was comparable to a city and headed to the square outside.
At this time, due to the time difference, the sky in Santia was still dark.
However, although the sun has not yet risen, a large number of believers have gathered in front of the Cathedral of Holy Grace, on the Square of Light, which is not enough to describe as huge.
These people come from all over the world.
They have different skin colors, languages and habits, but they have one thing in common, that is...
All are believers of the great Creator God and believers of the Creator.
There are even some obviously fanatical believers of the Creator God.
For example, some believers who look dusty and even extremely dirty, like beggars, are ascetic monks who follow the oldest teachings of practice, without any money, and do not hold any property along the way, and are completely hiking.
.
Although residents along the way will actively provide help within their ability, such as food and water, the journey of these people is still difficult.
In the end, only the pilgrim with the strongest will and the luckiest will successfully arrive at the holy court and complete the ancient practice on this special day.
Of course, in this era when the "Scientific Theology" is becoming more and more developed and the people's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous, there are only a very small number of such people.
So most believers are quite normal, at least they are not so "tragic".
In addition to believers, there are also hidden intelligence personnel from various countries and ubiquitous journalists in the huge crowd.
Since a extraordinary monk made a fuss, intelligence personnel from various countries have basically become permanent populations in the Holy City.
However, most of the journalists from all over the world have arrived recently like believers.
However, in order to grab a position, they must have come one step earlier than most ordinary believers living nearby.
Even three days ago, a reporter had already set up long spears and cannons around the square, and then, with tens of thousands of believers, silently waiting for the arrival of the annual end-of-year mass ceremony of the Holy Court of the Creation Church on the morning of December 30.
This is one of the greatest activities of Creation religion every year, and together with the "Creation Day" festival tomorrow, on January 1, it forms the annual "religious carnival" around the world.
Initially, this mass ceremony was actually only considered an inconspicuous one of the seven major festivals of Creation Church.
Because it is too close to the Creation Day, the most core festival, the original end-of-year Mass ceremony is often regarded as a prelude to the Creation Day Festival.
At that time, the rituals were mostly presided over by an archbishop, and the purpose of the process was completely different from the religious mass on earth.
It is mainly to pray for the deceased souls of the year when the great Creator God sets the division of "year", and at the same time praying to God that everything will be peaceful and safe in the new year.
However, since Pope Ferre III came to power, the end of the year Mass was changed to being presided over by him personally.
In this way, the specifications of the ceremony suddenly changed from "single sacrifice" to the same "big sacrifice" as the day of creation. At the same time, the entire mass process also added more according to the doctrine based on the original dry prayer.
Content.
For example, at the hour of the sun (7 am), the Holy Court Orchestra plays the Genesis Song, and then the Pope personally leads everyone to conduct standard morning prayers, and the sacred fire will be lit after the ceremony.
As a result, the importance of the end-of-year Mass was continuously strengthened and he began to compete with the High Festival of Genesis Day.
Even because there is no necessary "purification ceremony" for the Creation Day festival, which only those ascetics like (actually, they are hungry all day long), has begun to be chosen by more conventional believers.
As for the Day of Genesis, it gradually became a relatively private ceremony that was favored by the Holy See and those truly fanatical believers.
Because there are fewer and fewer people willing to participate...
