The Festival of Christophorus - Contemplation Day

Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.

"The second day of the Festival of Christophorus is spent in contemplation. Citizens without a special permit stay indoors, where they contemplate the life of The Emperor and Saint Christophorus. Workers in the Emperor's Manufactorums are given a special fifteen minute break during their shift for this purpose.

Many citizens, however, hold an unusual belief. It is said that Christophorus left the planet after it was claimed in the Emperor’s name, and ventured beyond the galactic edge in search of the fabled Second Legion of Adeptus Astartes. He will bring the Lost Legion back someday to vanquish all of the Holy Emperor’s foes. There are many books related to this topic and the tales are told behind closed doors.

 

Although not judged as heretical, this legend has caused some lively debates in the various branches of the Adeptus Ministorum and Adeptus Terra.”
