<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 36pt;">TIME SKIP | THE BLESSING CEREMONY</span><br/><br/>The soft streams of morning sun shine over Blessed Falls Village as its residents are beginning to wake and prepare for the days festivities. It is currently <strong>Saturday Early Morning, June 20th. Today will be a high of 78 F and partly cloud skies.</strong><br/><br/>The first thing the resident Blessed can expect is to prepare for the Blessing Ceremony. This will take place early morning and everyone should be meeting at the village gates soon. Please be sure to be dressed in your traditional Blessing Robes. Each Blessed was also asked to bring an offering to their God or Goddesses totem within the temple. It could be something you made, or found, anything with meaning to you and/or your Deity. [EX:A fresh Crop for Demeter, Making a tasty Dish, or something you made/cherish] This will ensure positive blessings for you and our village and is a great way to show your appreciation for the gifts bestowed upon you. <br/><br/>Once everyone has gathered at the village entrance, Elder Akira will lead the walk to the temple. When you arrive, everyone will listen to a small speech from the head elder. Then everyone can split off and go to their God or Goddesses totem to give their offerings, say a prayer, or just take in the temple. <br/><br/>Once the blessed have finished their offerings, they may return to the village and relax. Later this afternoon will be a huge Solstice Party where we celebrate the harvest and the new phase of the year. Residents can occupy themselves or prepare until then!<br/><br/><br/>[[This section of the event will last until everyone, or nearly everyone has had a chance to do their offering. Then we will move into phase two!]]<br/><br/><br/></div>
