Vol 3 Chapter 636: Vaduz Christmas Mass

Coco, holding Zhuo Yang's arm, the two followed her parents and walked towards the church on the side of the small square. They whispered while walking, but Uncle Frank and Aunt Matilda were a bit lost, because before today, Coco was squeezed between them, holding his father and mother intimately. But starting today, my daughter has someone who prefers to hold her.
Tomorrow is Christmas, and tonight is Christmas Eve. According to the traditions of Catholicism and Vaduz here, on the evening before Christmas Eve, everyone will go to the church to attend the Christmas Mass. There are about 5,000 permanent residents in Vaduz. They are scattered along the river valley. The number of people who come to attend the Mass every year is about 1,000. Based on the population base, the proportion is already quite high.
St. Florin’s Cathedral is the only church in Vaduz. Vaduz is the capital of Liechtenstein and the largest city. Therefore, St. Florin’s Cathedral is the National Church of the Principality of Liechtenstein, and its shape is much like the Kremlin, which has been reduced many times.
Near the square, there were more people on the road, all of them were Vaduz residents who came to attend the Mass. There are many stories about the town. Everyone here knows each other well. Uncle Frank and his wife are constantly saying hello to the people on the road. Koko also introduced Zhuo Yang to her town neighbors.
Zhuo Yang's face is so well-known that the residents of Vaduz knew him. It was a bit surprising to see him and the Kou Kou family, but everyone is a polite and distinguished person. There is no thorough market hobby of the food market, at least on the surface. Besides, can you hold hands intimately with Kou Kou?
As a result, Zhuo Yang was continuously fired with different eyes, some were surprised but gentle, some were surprised and puzzled, some were polite but rusty, and there were many young men, and their eyes were slightly hostile and indignant.
Zhuo Yang is very familiar with this kind of gaze language. When he went to Kissman Business School to find Koko, all the boys were like this, he had already seen it. Zhuo Yang felt very proud and proud of being a public enemy of a young man, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Koko is obviously a national treasure-level character who is loved by Vaduz. Everyone greets her with love, and then piggybacks Zhuo Yang by the way. Along the way, his neck was a little stiff because he nodded incessantly, and he put his right hand glove into his pocket simply to shake hands.
When they came to the square, everyone gathered at the door of the church and waited. The Koko family stood at the forefront of the crowd. Soon, Grand Duke Hans Adam II of Liechtenstein and some other members of the royal family greeted each other. He first greeted Koko's father.
Hans Adam II is more than 60 years old this year and is a lean and capable scholar-like head of state. Under his leadership, Liechtenstein, a small country, has always been neither humble nor overbearing. It does not participate in the world’s situation, and it only takes the path of prosperity. Liechtenstein's high-tech industry and financial industry became a climate from scratch, and now it has become the country's new economic growth point and new economic pillar.
Hans Adam II has apparently received a report from the Koko family and knew that Zhuo Yang was here, so he was not surprised to see Zhuo Yang.
"Hello, Your Honorable Prince."
The title of Hans Adam II is the Grand Duke of Liechtenstein, but because he is the head of state, it is naturally called "Prince" on official occasions, just like Prince Albert II of the Duke of Monaco. The Grand Duke is the prince, and if he insists on calling Uncle Frank'Prince', Koko's father can't bear it.
"Welcome to Vaduz, Mr. Zhuo Yang, welcome to attend the ceremony."
"Very honored and thank you for your kindness."
Hans Adam II and Koko's father walked side by side into the church, and the others followed behind. Zhuo Yang is not a believer. He who has not been baptized is not eligible to participate in the Mass, but he can be seen as a VIP. According to the prior arrangement, after entering the church, Zhuo Yang went to the viewing area beside him and sat down quietly. The Koko family and the royal family are in the center of the front row.
Everything is in place. The bishops, priests, monks, and choirs are all in place, and more than a dozen steps are step by step. The believers sang, confess, pray, and be thankful. Zhuo Yang felt the solemn and sacred atmosphere of the Mass. He is an atheist, but respects religion and religious believers, and is curious about their rituals.
Zhuo Yang knows that he is not a cultist, which will cause him and Koko to get married in the future, but he thinks it is not a problem at all.
Then I believe in it? Being a believer will not die. I will knock as many times as I want to knock, and I will open my mouth when I chant the poems. As long as I can be with Kou Kou, nothing will happen. Don't talk about religion, you can believe in anything, Coco is the biggest, bigger than the sky.
As for the true and false letters of Lao Tzu, guess? For non-principles, I don’t care. Anyway, Koco is my faith.
China has a long history and a long journey of 5,000 years of civilization, but there has never been a monotheistic religion that has dominated the world, no mainstream power, nor any religion that can dominate the rivers and lakes. Religion has always only been brought by the ruler. Throwing away tools, this phenomenon is unique among the major civilizations in the world.
Many people have analyzed the reasons, and there are many different opinions, but Zhuo Yang feels that only his own hair, Xiao Haiyang, makes the most sense and is the most reliable.
Ocean said: This is all blame for Lao Tzu, the Lao Tzu who rides the green cow and Zi Qidong to write the Daode Jing.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were already hundreds of controversies, and the unprecedented prosperity of Chinese culture and philosophy on the earth. The structure of the mythological fairy system has been completed, and the theoretical accumulation is sufficient. At this time ~EbookFREE.me~ People are generally frightened and bored with hundreds of years of war, and they are very eager to have a way to trust and escape reality. All elements have been gathered, and the soil created by religion is already fertile enough. But at this moment, Lao Tzu appeared.
Laozi said: Dao is the biggest, everything is not as big as heaven, and heaven is supreme.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor was insignificant in front of Heaven and Tao, and no could be compared with Tao. We believe in the biggest thing if we believe, so the Chinese believe in heaven. In this way, how can a religion that worships a single live? No matter what your emperor or master, Muni is too big to be heavenly, then what can you do?
Zhuo Yang took this set of rhetoric by the ocean.
Kou Kou was very focused during the mass, especially when she repented and prayed to the Lord for mercy and gratitude. She was very pious. Zhuo Yang looked at Koko's back in the back. Under the watchful eye of Christ, she was the Son of God, the sage of heaven.
A round of holy halo enveloped Koko, the aura was filled with gospel and compassion.
After the mass was over, Coco turned back to see Zhuo Yang with his eyes and smiled at him. Coco's eyes are as loving as ever, but she has a more thorough look, and she feels relieved.
