MASS OF WHAT?

[text] she can actually read karkat's. i don't know if that's sad or not.

[maidoforleans]

Church mass. It is a religious ceremony for those of the Catholic faith. The day after All Hallows' Eve is All Saints' Day, so I have to attend and pray.

[text] eh his is easy :V

[dungenessmaster]

SOUNDS BORING. DO CATHOLIC FAITHERS DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT FOR HALLOW'S EVE OR DO THEY DRESS LIKE IDIOTS AND SCROUNGE UP CANDY TOO?

[text] it's like an uncreative illuminated manuscript

[maidoforleans]

I suppose how interesting it is depends on how dedicated you are to the religion. I am not certain! Things regarding this day seem to have changed very much - at home the children dressed up and made noises, but it was more to keep the spirits away than for sweets.

Mass? I haven't heard of anyone preforming that for a while now.

[type type type SHE WILL GAIN ALL THE READING EXPERIENCE.] There is a church in the city where services are held. I go there quite often to pray.

It is no trouble. I am often in the church, and company is always a pleasure.

Thank you! I could not do very much without you, though. I think I will remember the rules better if I continue typing like this. [so excite so excite LOOK AT ALL MY NON-VOICE REPLIES THIS IS SO COOL I'M LIKE LITERATE AND STUFF]

No, no, all the credit is to you. You are such an intelligent young woman! But I do agree that practice makes perfect -- you have the books which I have sent to you?

[text, typed very very slowly]

[spandexisyouth]

do people make and give away cakes as well as candy? is there a story behind that?

[text, lol she feels you gai. typing is hard.]

[maidoforleans]

I do not know if the people here do, but at home it was common. It is to replace pagan soul cakes - now cakes are given in return for a promise to pray for the giver. Of course, it may simply be that we did not have the sort of sweets available here.

[text, It is!]

[spandexisyouth]

so then this is a religious holiday for you? but you use cakes. that seems like a good thing to use instead of more violent things.

[maidoforleans]

Yes, the Church adapted pagan customs to help ease conversion among them. Now we may enjoy ourselves and still help the souls of the departed.

[Hello again Jeanne. You might want to educate the island girl.]

[maidoforleans]

[she's starting to think maybe she should have specified when she said that. also, is there supposed to be so many question marks? and what does colon o mean? did Watson not get up to that part yet???]

It is a religious service of the Catholic faith. The day after All Hallows' Eve is a holy day, and attending mass is required by practitioners.
