The Festival of Christophorus - Procession of Skulls

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

"The tenth day of the Festival of Christophorus is the Procession of Skulls. The Ecclesiastic Precinct is closed to all citizens other than Ministorum, and Adeptus with special indulgence.  The nobility of the capitol assemble, bringing forth their ancient servo-skulls, which are tangible evidence of their ancestors. Many of the skulls date from the colonization of the planet. By law, the governor must be descended from the families of the original colonizers brought by Saint Christophorus. As the nobility process into the Via Sancti, citizens and pilgrims beseech the blessing of the luminaries, and children dream of founding their own noble house some day.”
