December 25 is the most important festival of the Holy Illuminati every year: Christmas

The Holy Book records that the Messiah was born on this day, and wherever there is a belief in the Holy Light Religion, there are grand celebrations, and more than eighty percent of the land of the three continents of Olopa is filled with a celebratory atmosphere on this day

It is now 2 hours before December 25, 1686, and before Christmas, it is Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve refers to Christmas Eve, that is, December 24th, because thousands of Olopa people will rush home to reunite one day earlier in order to celebrate Christmas, so Christmas Eve is a night of reunion for most Olopa families, everyone has a hearty dinner, sitting around the roaring fire, playing the piano, singing and sharing family fun, or holding a unique dance party all night to celebrate a happy, peaceful, and carnival Christmas Eve

Midnight Mass is a religious event that the Church of Light must hold on Christmas Eve

The heart of the Central Church - the city of myths, hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the Papal Hall and the Seven Chapels to participate in the Holy Midnight Mass, the Age of Light in 1686, the year of turmoil throughout Olopa, so this year's Midnight Mass was deliberately held half an hour earlier, Pope Frio I led all the cardinals of the Central Church to pray to the light God for world peace

Not only is the midnight mass in St. Papal Island's almost any church in Olopa happening simultaneously, the only difference is the scale, but even the war-torn nations have consciously stopped attacking each other, making the night a real peaceful night

A small remote mountain village is also holding a solemn midnight mass at this time

The village of Kamamay was too poor, too small, too remote, and there was no decent chapel in the village, and the villagers did not have the money to go to the church in the town, and when they encountered any heavy religious celebrations, they had to place a large rough wooden cross in the village hall and temporarily convert the chapel into a simple chapel;

The village chief was not a regular clergyman, but he had seen the priests and priests preside over Mass in the churches of the city, and then he returned to the village to make gourds and make gourds, but this kind of amateur priest was really full of mistakes and did not dare to compliment, but this year's midnight Mass on Christmas Eve was destined to be different from previous years, because there was a clergy who was like a fake and a priest who personally presided over it, so that the sixty-five villagers in the village could experience the true solemnity and sacredness

Dear brothers and sisters,

Let us celebrate the coming of the Messiah

In this hour of salvation

Pray for each other this night

Pray to the Lord

As the only clergyman, Sophia stood on the celebrancy standing, dressed in a white priest's robe, with a silver cross on her chest and an open book in her hand, leading the crowd to chant prayers

May Allah have mercy on the villagers who led the singer Dani in unison

An invisible aura of divine light emanated from Sophia's body, which made everyone in this makeshift church feel calm and warm in their hearts

The Lord came with heavenly glory

May he shine the earth with true light

Lead all the people with the truth

We pray with one voice for this

May the Lord of Righteousness awaken the world

Forgive us

By the grace of the Lord alone

We pray with one voice for this

May the born Messiah bless us

Let us always be thankful

Bless the brothers and sisters present

to share in the joy of salvation for all

We pray with one voice for this

May the most holy and blessed Mary

Do God's will

Give all love to the world

Be a receiver and giver of the good news of the gospel

We pray with one voice for this

It's time to celebrate Christmas

Let us pray for the less fortunate

Let the light of peace shine upon them

that they may always have hope

We pray with one voice for this

The Lord thou hast sent the Son upon earth

Deliver us from our sins

for true peace and joy

In the name of the Messiah, the Messiah

Hear our prayers

Ahh

Sophia on the stage recited a prayer every time, and everyone in the audience also repeated it, and in the end, everyone in the audience knelt on the ground and prayed to the bright God with the most sincere heart, compared with the regular church, this mass was too simple and short, and there was no part of singing hymns and hymns, but this is also Sophia's consideration for the ability of these villagers to bear, if it is a little more complicated, I am afraid that no one can keep up with her festival, these villagers have not seen the world, and they can't even remember all 26 letters, but they are very real, and their prayers from the heart are so pure and simple

In fact, not all of the people who attended the midnight mass in Kamamay were villagers, but there were also two guests from outside the village

Cassius, Lyle, and Ischennova, the typical atheists of the Snowy Federation, do not participate in any religious ceremonies, and Joyka and Ray, who hate the Central Church, are even less likely to mean that only Dani and Leonard attended the Mass

Dany's mentor was a paladin of the Knights Templar, a high-ranking clergyman of the same rank as the Cardinal in the Central Church, and even after leaving the Church, William did not abandon his faith, and from childhood to adulthood, Dani naturally accepted any form of religious activity, even if he was now an enemy of the Central Church

As for Leonard Green, his reason is simple: because this midnight mass was presided over by Her Royal Highness the Princess herself

At the end of the Mass, the villagers lined up to receive Sophia's blessing one by one, and then dispersed, and when all the villagers had left the council hall, only three strangers remained

Dani, Leonard, thank you, Sophia walked up to the two of them and smiled in thanks

For the sake of His Royal Highness, it is natural for Leonard to press his chest with his hand, and bend down slightly, if it were not for the injury, this persistent knight would definitely perform a formal knightly salute

In the past, when I traveled around the world with Teacher William, I passed through poor mountain villages without priests, and I would act as Teacher William's assistant to help those villagers pray, and Dani answered the Mass easily without the restraint of Leonard, in addition to having a presiding officer, there must also be a reciter, and without Dani's guidance to the villagers, I am afraid it would be difficult for Sophia to carry out the Mass

It's not early, Sister Dani, it's time for you to rest, Merry Christmas

So do you, Sister Sophia, Merry Christmas, and Dani knew that Sophia had something to say to her knight alone, so she responded with a polite greeting to Sophia, and then turned away

At present, Dani's figure gradually disappeared into the cottage

Princess......

Sophia interrupted him with a gesture

Can Knight Grimm take me for a walk outside the village?

It's a great honor.
