Following Bishop Kent's actions, everyone at the scene looked at the big screen closest to them. Everyone was excited and curious.
At the same time, the pictures on these big TV screens, as well as the pictures on countless live broadcast terminals, have also changed accordingly.
The colorful Belmont Trophy podium disappeared from the TV screen and was replaced by the ancient and sacred St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, the holy place in the hearts of Catholics all over the world.
The TV screen went from far to near, and it extended into the interior of St. Peter's Basilica in a blink of an eye. The world-famous huge dome in the church appeared on the live broadcast screen and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, people saw His Majesty the Pope, wearing a white robe, a skullcap, and holding a scepter, standing on the Pontifical Altar of St. Peter's Basilica, presiding at Sunday Mass
On both sides of the Holy See altar, there are still two rows of cardinals in red robes, which are the famous Vatican Cardinals!
Seeing this scene, everyone immediately understood that today's Sunday Mass is absolutely different from any previous ones!
Judging from the grand and solemn posture of the Holy See of the Vatican, something big must happen today, but everyone doesn't know what it is!
Everyone at the scene in Belmont Park and countless TV viewers in front of the live broadcast were stunned when they saw this scene, and everyone was shocked!
Even the US President and his family standing on the central lawn of the arena, as well as the Israeli Prime Minister and his wife who were still staying in the VIP box, were taken aback by this scene and were speechless inwardly!
As for Matthew and Evelyn standing next to the podium, after being shocked, their eyes filled with excitement, and even Logan's eyes were already wet!
It's no wonder that my family is about to give birth to a nobleman conferred by the Pope, and is the only countess in the United States. As a family member, can they not be excited about it?
Belmont Park fell silent in an instant, and everyone was staring at the picture on the big TV screen, everyone was stunned.
This kind of silence didn't last long, only a few seconds, and it was completely replaced by wild cheers and applause like a tsunami in a blink of an eye.
The people who woke up cheered loudly and gave an extremely warm applause.
Especially those devout believers, how could they have imagined that not only did they see the greatest horse race in history today, but they also had the opportunity to personally participate in the Sunday Mass being held in the Vatican and hosted by His Majesty the Pope himself!
Even though this Sunday Mass was live-streamed and they were thousands of miles away from St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, people were still excited about it!
Standing on the podium, Ye Tian and the Bishop of Kent looked at each other. Immediately afterwards, the Bishop of Kent raised his hands and pressed down gently, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
Following his actions, the Belmont Park scene immediately fell silent.
People stopped cheering and clapping desperately. They just stared at the big-screen TVs at the scene, and everyone's eyes were extremely devout.
The next moment, the Pope, who was far away on the altar of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, began to preside over the Sunday Mass and led the College of Cardinals to pray in unison.
Seeing this scene, no matter the people in Belmont Park or the countless viewers in front of the live broadcast, as long as they were Catholic believers, they all put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads to pray with the Pope.
The Bishop of Kent standing on the podium, Betty in the audience, Matthew and Evelyn, Logan and Sam, as well as the President of the United States and his family, everyone was no exception, and they all prayed devoutly.
Of course, this does not include Ye Tian, and my sister-in-law and Linlin who are standing in the audience, but everyone's expressions are also serious and serious, to show respect for other people's religious beliefs.
As the prayer begins,
Belmont Park directly turned into a huge open-air church, and the originally extremely hot atmosphere also changed, becoming extremely solemn and solemn.
A moment later, with the pope's "Amen", countless people immediately responded. This large-scale prayer ceremony has just ended, and the scene in Belmont Park has just resumed.
Immediately afterwards, the Pope, who was in St. Peter's Basilica, looked at the camera and said with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Steven and Ms. Betty, congratulations. I just received the news that your horse Jueying has just won the Belmont Stakes and won the American Triple Crown. You have a great horse!"
Following the words of the Pope, a tsunami of cheers and applause resounded in Belmont Park, resounding throughout the park and countless live broadcast terminals.
At this moment, Ye Tian and Betty were standing hand in hand in the center of the podium. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and then nodded to the audience and the camera lens as a compliment!
Before the cheers and applause fell, the Pope's voice came from the live sound system again and reached everyone's ears.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, dear believers, at today's Sunday mass, I would like to publicly announce an important news, which is also the result of collective discussions by the Holy See of the Vatican.
As we all know, before the Vatican and Mr. Steven's Bravery Exploration Company signed an agreement to jointly explore the legendary treasure of the Knights Templar and search for the sacred objects that disappeared with the treasure,..."
Next, the Pope briefly reviewed the process of the joint exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar by the Vatican and the Valiant Exploration Company, and publicly introduced the discovered treasures and religious relics.
Especially when introducing the process of discovering the Holy Grail, the Pope was so excited that his voice trembled slightly.
Following the Pope's introduction, there was a burst of admiration and warm applause in Belmont Park.
Even though people have known these things for a long time, at this moment, they are still shocked and excited about it!
After introducing the process of jointly exploring the treasures of the Knights Templar, the Pope then entered the topic.
"At the beginning of the joint search for the Templar treasure, I promised Steven that if he could find the long-lost Catholic holies, the Holy Grail and the Ark of the Covenant, he would be canonized by the Vatican as a token of gratitude.
And Mr. Steven said at the time that he was not suitable to be canonized by the Vatican because of his status. If he could lead a team to find the long-lost Holy Grail and Ark of the Covenant, he hoped that the Vatican could canonize his wife Betty.
What happened next, everyone knows, in the depths of the church of Santa Maria in Tomar, Portugal, Steven discovered the long-lost most sacred object, the Holy Grail, and several other religious relics!
After we brought the Holy Grail and the other holy objects back to the Vatican, we summoned a large number of archaeologists, theologians, top experts in the identification of antique works of art, etc., and consulted a large number of ancient books and documents to identify those religious holy objects.
The results of the appraisal have been announced, and the religious relics are all authentic, and the discovery of these religious relics is of great significance to the Catholic Church, the Vatican, and people who believe in God all over the world."
Hearing this, everyone in Belmont Park, as well as the countless viewers in front of the live broadcast, couldn't help being stunned. People froze in place as if they had been hit by a fixation spell.
Even the President of the United States and his family are the same, each of them was completely stunned by what they just heard, so that they temporarily lost their ability to respond!
At this point, everyone knew what was going to happen next!
There will be a true aristocracy in America! Moreover, it is a nobleman conferred by the pope in front of the people of the whole world. The only thing that is uncertain now is what is this gleaming noble title!
Duke? Marquis? count? Or Viscount? Or a knight, it seems that any kind of title is possible!
But no matter what kind of title, it is always out of reach for almost everyone. There has never been an aristocrat of commoner origin in the United States. This is probably the first time in the world!
What's more, this is a noble conferred by the Pope on behalf of the Holy See of the Vatican. It is by no means comparable to the nobles conferred by the royal families of European countries that have long been in decline. It can be said that there is a world of difference between the two!
While the people were shocked, seeing Ye Tian and Betty standing hand in hand on the podium on the central lawn of the arena, their envious eyes turned red, and they were almost crazy with envy!
The same is true for the American leader and his family who are close at hand. At this time, they wish they could directly replace Ye Tian and Betty, and wear the title of nobility conferred by the Pope on their heads.
If it can be realized, it will be such a beautiful thing, I think you can wake up with a smile in your dreams at night!
After a short pause, the pope's voice came from the sound system again and reached everyone's ears.
"Since those religious sacred objects including the Holy Grail are beyond doubt, it is time for us, the Vatican, to fulfill our promise and express our gratitude, thanks to Mr. Steven and his Intrepid Exploration Company for their great discovery.
Under my proposal, after the collective discussion and decision of the College of Cardinals, on behalf of the Holy See of the Vatican, in the name of God, I announce that Steven's wife, Betty, can be conferred the title of earl, and their child can be conferred the title of knight!
Since Mr. and Mrs. Steven live in New York and their private land is Belmont Park, Mrs. Steven's earl title is the Earl of Belmont, which can be passed on forever! ..."
Before announcing Betty's title, the Pope, who was far away on the altar of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, took out a document with a solemn expression, and read aloud the contents written on the document.
After the reading, he held up the simple and elegantly framed document and displayed it in front of the camera lens.
The next moment, a close-up of the document appeared on the live broadcast screen.
On this canonization document of the Holy See of the Vatican, Betty's name and the title of earl she received are clearly written in Latin, Italian and English.
As for Ye Tian and Betty's child, because he was not born yet and hadn't given a name yet, only his knighthood was confirmed in this document, but the specific title was not written!
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian, who was standing in the middle of the podium, immediately embraced Betty, who was crying and covering her mouth with both hands, and then smiled and said in a low voice:
"My dear, it seems that we are going to buy another piece of land, and this piece of land is big enough and beautiful enough! Such a piece of land is worthy of our child's title!"
Hearing this, Betty couldn't help laughing softly, her eyes filled with happiness.
At this time, Belmont Park, New York, Boston, and even the entire United States, as well as all live broadcast terminals, have already boiled like a volcanic eruption!
"Oh my god! The wife and children of that guy Steven were canonized by the Vatican as nobles, and they are earls and knights. Am I dreaming? This is simply unbelievable!"
"The Earl of Belmont! As far as I know, this seems to be the first noble in the United States to be publicly conferred by the Vatican. This honor is really unparalleled. Compared with it, those wealthy families in the upper class of the United States are not worth mentioning at all. !"
