Chapter 0235 Global Concern
The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, also known as the National Cathedral, is located in Washington, District of Columbia.
The church tower is 41.9 meters high and contains 9 altars. It was upgraded to the National Anglican Cathedral in 1895.
The church is located on a high hill, and its 391-foot spire is the highest point in the city.
The secular parliament is at the center, where elected members make laws and regulate human behavior.
Sacred churches stand on high places, where divinely sent priests serve God and purify human souls.
The National Congress, the dwelling place of God, is its position in the hearts of the people.
In the early morning of January 17, 1931, the sky was bright.
There is no liveliness in front of the National Cathedral. It is surrounded by buildings that have not yet been fully constructed, which makes it feel a bit desolate.
The carriage with a bright red shed cover and gold rim is as wide as half a house, with two coachmen in front carrying six white horses.
This is a white horse in the true sense of the word, with not a trace of color anywhere on its body.
Li Zitao was sitting on it with his fiancée, waiting to go to the cathedral to be baptized.
That's right, today's engagement party for the two of them was not held in a church.
When you get engaged, what vows do you take in church?
Today is the day of Li Zitao's baptism, which can be regarded as a ceremony before officially becoming a member of the Grand Duke's family.
Who makes the eunuch and his wife both devout believers!
The carriage stopped in front of the main church, and the Archbishop of the Episcopal Church of America, wearing a red robe and a white sash on his shoulders, was waiting in front of the door.
"Your Excellency, Archbishop Antonio." After following Her Royal Highness to greet the princess, Archbishop Antonio warmly invited the two of them into the auditorium.
Li Zitao lowered his head in front of the altar, and Archbishop Antonio's voice was low and distant: "Charlie Lee, I am baptized for you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I wish"
Drops of water fell on his head. When the blessing was over, Archbishop Antonio forgave all Li Zitao's previous sins in the name of the Lord, and the baptism ceremony was completed.
"Thank you for being able to baptize Charles in person. We heard that the collection of books in the Anglican Church needs to be repaired. This is our little thought."
Adelaide took out the check generously, and Antonio took it with both hands with a smile. Everything was fair and aboveboard.
Everything that happens here is to better serve God, which is very logical!!
"Is this the end?" He returned to the carriage, and under the smiling eyes of Archbishop Antonio and the priest, the carriage carrying the two of them left slowly.
"Of course, do you want to listen to the Archbishop's sermon? Then maybe we can get to the hotel before night." Adelaide teased.
"The guests will kill me." Thinking of the guests waiting at the hotel, Li Zitao smiled bitterly.
According to the normal engagement ceremony, the parents and relatives of both parties sit together, eat and drink, meet and get to know each other, and then take the bride price and dowry back to each other.
But if you put it here with Li Zitao and Adelaide, it would be more solemn than a wedding.
For his engagement ceremony, Jonathan vacated the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Chicago two days in advance for guests to check in upon arrival.
What's even more incredible is that the hotel was actually fully occupied, and even the Ritz Hotel on the other street was also booked by guests.
The business partners Li Zitao knew and the executives at all levels of the subsidiaries all came with their families.
Adelaide's side went even further. There were hundreds of royal family members.
"Twenty years later, European royal families gathered in the United States, a young and powerful country, because of a love that transcended racial distance. This is a feast for the whole world."
The combination of Li Zitao and Adelaide was so high that it was so high that the sky and the sun were not even close to each other.
It is said that even in the Pearl of China, Hong Kong, Jiangsu, Jiao'ao and other places, the streets are full of detailed reports about this engagement.
The legendary story about Li Zitao was spread from rumor to legend and became increasingly mysterious in the Republic of China.
An entire dictionary could be written about his "mysterious" identity among the people.
"Did the Republic of China government really send a congratulatory message?" When he arrived at the hotel, Li Zitao couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, your motherland, the government of the Republic of China sent a congratulatory message to express congratulations on our love, and a batch of congratulatory gifts are being shipped from the sea."
"..." The more Adelaide spoke, the less calm Li Zitao became.
I felt a chill in my heart, as if it was a pill!
If things continue like this, will the 404 masters keep an eye on us?
"Are they still inviting me back to China?" Seeing Adelaide nodding, Li Zitao immediately had an idea in his mind.
"Grandma, I'm being targeted. No, for the sake of my own life, it's impossible to return to China 50 years ago. Even if I go back, I can't have anything to do with politics.
The 404 master doesn’t have many methods, but he can kill them with his first move, so his stance must be firm.”
Li Zitao was waiting in the hall, while Adelaide went back to her room to change clothes. During the baptism ceremony, she was not so high-profile as to put on a starry wedding dress and a crown of light.
The Crown of Light is Li Zitao's new name for the Ring of Love, Ring of Love. Hearing this name always makes him feel a chill on his head.
Maybe we can take this opportunity to find a suitable agent and fully promote Hualian into the Eastern market.
"Dear, what are you thinking about?" Adelaide, who had changed into a wedding dress and wore a crown, walked slowly and interrupted Li Zitao's thoughts.
"I'm just wondering when I can see my beloved Princess." Li Zitao bowed with a smile, and Li Zitao's sweet love words made Adelaide smile brightly.
"You have such a sweet mouth. Let's go. The guests are already waiting impatiently." She virtuously tidied up the wrinkles that appeared when Li Zitao just sat down. Adelaide took his arm and spoke in the banquet hall.
The door then opened outwards.
Wow!
The warm applause seemed to lift the ceiling, and the excited smiling faces were even stronger than what Li Zitao, the person involved, showed.
"Who is engaged?" Li Zitao complained in his mind, with a formulaic smile on his face.
Adelaide waved and smiled gracefully, nodding lightly from time to time, accepting everyone's blessings.
In the chief position, West sat with the Grand Duke's family, looking at the newlyweds walking toward them with relief.
Although it was just an engagement ceremony, in today's environment and situation, the marriage between Li Zitao and Adelaide was really not as simple as he thought.
The profound meaning contained in it may change some changes between the Eastern and Western races.
At least on the day when the two were engaged, white people, yellow people and black people were incredibly in the same room, nodding to each other in a gentle manner.
The reporters present frantically recorded this scene, because each of them knew it very well.
