Light bathing ceremony

light bathing ceremony

It is the core activity of any pilgrimage to Netlor and the  Church of the Golden Whispering Spirit of the Universe.

During the Light Alignment Phase of the year, when he sun of Netlor is aligned perfectly with the Mountain of Celestial Focus, a beam of sunlight hits the transparent material of the head of the statue and multi colored light bathes the platform below (and anyone on the platform)

Believers are certain the light has curative effects and while under the light they can hear the Spirit of the Universe whispering to them.

Scene

>>>

I watched thousands gather on the platform before the statue and throw of their robes, standing completely bare, mimicking the pose of the statue. I never was much of a religious person but standing there in the buff seemed particular silly to me.<<<
