Chapter 237 (1/2)
St. Peter's and St. Paul's Cathedral, also known as the National Cathedral, is located in the District of Columbia in Washington.
The tower is 41.9 meters high and contains nine altars. It has been upgraded to the main church of the national Anglican Church since 1895.
The church stands on a high hill, with a 391 foot spire the highest point in the city.
The secular Congress is at the center, where elected members make laws and regulate people's behavior.
The sacred church stands high, where the God sent priests serve God and purify the human soul.
The national assembly, the house of God, is its place in the hearts of the people.
In the early morning of January 17, 1931, the sky was bright.
The front of the National Cathedral is not lively, and the buildings that have not been completed are surrounded by a bit of desolation.
Red shed cover, gilt edged inlaid carriage as wide as half a house, in front of two coachmen with six white horses.
This is a white horse in the real sense. I can't find any color all over the body.
Li Zitao sat on it with his fiancee, waiting to be baptized in the cathedral.
It's true that the engagement banquet of the two is not held in the church today.
Get engaged, go to church and swear something.
Today is Li Zitao's day of baptism, which is also a ceremony before he officially became a member of Dagong family.
Who makes Da Gong and his wife both devout believers!
The carriage stopped in front of the main church, and the Archbishop of the Anglican Church in red robes and white shoulders was waiting at the door.
”The Archbishop of Antonio.” Following his royal highness, the Archbishop of Antonio warmly invited two people into the auditorium.
In front of the altar, Li Zitao bowed his head, and archbishop Antonio's voice was deep and distant: ”Charlie Lee, I am baptized for you in the name of father, son and holy God. May --”
the dribbling water falls on my head. When the blessing is over, Archbishop Antonio forgives Li Zitao for all his previous sins in the name of the Lord, and the baptism ceremony is completed.
”Thank you for being baptized for Charlie in person. It's a little bit of our heart to hear that the Anglican library needs to be repaired.”
Adelaide took out the check in a big way, and Antonio took it with both hands with a smile on his face. Everything was aboveboard.
What happened here is to serve God better, which is very logical!!
”Is that the end of it?” He returned to the carriage, and with the smiling eyes of Archbishop Antonio and the priest, the carriage carrying them left slowly.
”Of course, do you want to hear the Archbishop preach? Maybe we can get to the hotel by night. ” Adelaide quipped.
”- the guests will kill me.” Thinking of the guests waiting in the hotel, Li Zitao is repeatedly bitter smile.
According to the normal engagement ceremony, parents and relatives of both sides sit together, eat and drink, meet each other, and then bring the betrothal gifts and dowry back to each other.
Li Zitao and Adelaide can be placed here, which is more solemn than the wedding.
For his engagement ceremony, Jonathan vacated the Waldorf hotel in Chicago two days in advance for guests to check in when they arrived.
What's more, the hotel is really full, even the Ritz Hotel on the other street is also covered by guests.
All the business partners that Li Zitao knew and all the senior executives of the subsidiary companies came with their families.
