Chapter 998 983. Holy Day (45)

This Easter, let Wang Bo really feel the madness of the Christians and the grandness of the Christian festival.

Easter is not a festival of a certain day. It is celebrated on that day and then ends. This festival is similar to the Chinese Spring Festival, which lasts for several days.

The first is Thursday, which is called "Holy Thursday". According to tradition, as soon as this day comes, housewives get up early to prepare dyed eggs and bake traditional biscuits and pastries.

Eva also baked some pastries and sweets in good time. Little Lolita, Zhuang Da, Xiao Wang and Fat Cat Brothers followed in her footsteps. Wherever she went, these little guys followed.

There is also a foodie little white fox, squatting next to the baking box, not going anywhere, with two big dark eyes, staring at the fragrant food inside.

Eva baked the food and put it on a plate with a red egg on it.

Wang Bo asked, "Is this your tradition?"

Eva said: "This should be a tradition for Christians all over the world, right? I just enjoy making dim sum. This is my Christmas wish."

"Your Christmas wish is to make dessert?" Wang Bo asked while eating a piece of banana milk cake.

Seeing that he was eating by himself, the princess jumped up and down anxiously, screaming non-stop.

Wang Bo had no choice but to give it a piece, and cursed: "Eat, eat, eat, let's see how fat you are now? It's a snowfox. Let's call it Xueqiu."

As long as the princess has something to eat, it doesn't matter what you say, as long as I eat happily.

Eva giggled and said, "It's very similar to when I was a child. I was in an orphanage at that time. You know, Ukraine in the 1990s was very poor, and we couldn't get enough to eat every day."

"There are a few exceptions every year, such as Holy Thursday, our teacher will bake delicious cakes early on that day, so I will go to help with my friends early on that day."

"You can get an extra cake for helping, it tastes amazing, the first time I ate it, I think I was four years old, and I swore at Christmas that year that I would be a baker in the future, I To sleep next to the oven."

Wang Bodao: "Congratulations, ma'am, you are now a very good baker, and your Christmas wish has come true."

Eva said: "Yes, it has been achieved. When I was five years old, my Christmas wish was changed to be a great teacher and treat children well. As a result, I first became a teacher who can bake. I'm fine."

Wang Bo didn't know much about Christianity. Eva introduced some common sense to him while eating snacks and drinking tea.

For example, this Holy Thursday, which he disapproves of, is the day before the crucifixion of Jesus and the last day Jesus lived on earth. The famous religious event "Last Supper" was held on the night of this day.

Eva said that according to traditional Ukrainian customs, their believers will go to the church to attend the commemorative ceremony and lay wreaths. This evening, the young girls will weave the coffin of Jesus with flowers all night.

"In our local customs, these flowers must come from the girl's own garden, or flowers picked in the nearby mountain fields. However, we all know that it is too difficult to do this, so later the church came by itself Shopping for flowers." Eva laughed.

Wang Bo smiled slightly and said, "Are you fooling God, old man?"

On Friday, the grand Easter parade begins.

According to religious historical records, Jesus was betrayed and crucified on this day in AD 30. This day is called Holy Friday.

In very traditional areas, Holy Friday is a day with very strict requirements for believers. Traditional Christians are not even allowed to eat oil. They are not allowed to engage in any work or activities on this day, and they must be immersed in the grief of losing the Lord Jesus.

At night, people will gather in the church, carry out the tied coffin of Jesus, and make a funeral procession.

This is the prototype of the Easter parade. The current parade is no longer a funeral, and there is no need to prepare a coffin. However, many people in Sunset Town still wear coffin-style hats, or DIY a small coffin to hold in their arms. .

Wang Bo was invited to participate in the parade. A group of people walked on the street at night, and they were either holding the coffin on their heads or holding it in their arms. He felt a lot of pressure.

After the parade, Rudy approached him and asked, "We're going to the church in Lewistown tomorrow to attend the Easter Mass. Are you going to attend?"

According to tradition, on the night of Holy Saturday, believers will rush to the church for mass before 12 o'clock. At midnight, everyone spread the message that "Jesus is resurrected", and then lit the candles in their hands.

Wang Bo refused, saying: "I have to accompany my children to sleep every night, but I have too many children, so it is inconvenient to do things."

Rudy didn't force him, nodded his head to express his understanding and left.

Kidd said: "Boss, after we have a church in our town, you don't have to be so embarrassed."

"I'm not embarrassed." Wang Bo said.

The reason why the midnight mass on Holy Saturday must be held in the church is because believers will light candles at that time to light the way back for the resurrected Jesus.

There are requirements for the fire that lights this candle, it must be a holy fire, the fire in the church is the "sacred fire", and the fire outside is not counted.

This has nothing to do with Wang Bo. After the Holy Friday parade, he planned to go fishing on the lake the next day and spend a very leisurely weekend.

As a result, the plan was not as fast as the change. On Saturday, Eva pulled him up and asked him to accompany him to make candles.

Wang Bo knew that a lot of candles were used during Easter. Everyone held candles during the parade last night, and candles were also used to light the way for Jesus tonight, but why did he make them himself?

"Honey, since the last tropical cyclone landed, haven't the supermarkets prepared a lot of candles? Just go and buy a batch, why make them yourself?"

Eva explained: "I don't use it for myself, but for the children. Teacher Catherine and I decided to bring the children to this party. The scouting activity last weekend was very effective. I think these children like parties."

"For children, the candles in the supermarket are enough, right?"

"Yes, but those candles are too ordinary. I want to make some magic candles. Do you remember magic candles?" Eva gestured, "I have prepared the materials, let's make them ourselves."

Hearing that it was making magic candles, Pharaoh became interested and asked, "Do you know how to do it?"

Eva smiled proudly and said, "Have you forgotten? I am a secret agent. Although I am a civilian, I will also learn a lot of information that ordinary people do not understand."
