Third Deception // Voice

I noticed that most of you don't seem to know about the Holidays, let alone Christmas, so I thought I'd take the time to explain it. I'm sure it would satisfy the curiosity of some of you, and for the rest, it would increase your knowledge of other worlds

I guess where I'm from, there still aren't many Christians. People usually celebrate Christmas with gifts, or as couples.

[aureatus]

May I ask what world you're from?

[Though she has a feeling she already knows.]

[no_use_running]

That's sort of hard to say. It's not like worlds come with names.

[aureatus]

I haven't come across a world without one.

[targetprime]

So this holiday is religious in nature? I never would have guessed.

[Once again, he's being completely sincere and not sarcastic at all. All he's been getting from the journals is PRESENTS ARE AWESOME. :|a]

[aureatus]

Where do you think it originated?

[Yes, she's noticed the presents!mania going around.|D]

[targetprime]

I wasn't certain. This is the first I had ever heard of such a thing.

[aureatus]

Do you celebrate anything in your world at this time of the year?

[ranksinmistlore]

A strange thing to celebrate.

[aureatus]

Why do you think that?

[ranksinmistlore]

One man, martyr though he may have been, cannot save all. It seems but a metaphor.

[aureatus]

Jesus Christ is the son of God. He is not a mere man.

I heard someone say that the holiday was religious, but they didn't know much more than that. This is interesting, though I'm not sure what it has to do with presents....

[aureatus]

We exchange presents to celebrate the greatest gift of all: our God giving us His only son.

[ooc: Thirteen years in a Catholic school is paying off.xD;]

[esper_flight]

Oh, I see. Though I don't understand how self-sacrifice can save others from sin.

In my world there existed the Warring Triad, its creators. They're called such because they constantly fought to determine who was the most powerful, and their conflict ravaged the planet, lasting for many years. Only after a long period of time did they realize what they had done, and then sealed themselves away.

[aureatus]

His life was a ransom for our sins. I myself do not understand God's intentions, but His will should not be questioned.

[...]

After they had sealed themselves away, did another entity replace them as your god?

[themoonuplifts]

What about Santa?

[aureatus]

He is a mythical figure who represents Saint Nicholas, who was known to be a great gift-giver.

[I hope Usagi doesn't believe in Santa.|D]

[themoonuplifts]

He doesn't really exist? Is he related to Jesus?

[Nope, at least not anymore! XD]

[aureatus]

I'm afraid they aren't. [an amused pause] Though they might be distant cousins, for all I know.
