you were ordained by the minister and turned a lake into holy water???? explain pls I'm new and so so confused
however on another note your life sounds awesome
yup! this did really happen!
I did one of those online-ordination things in high school, because I thought it was funny, and that maybe it would come in handy someday. and then a few years later, some friends and I went to a new year's event at our old church camp, and decided it would be fun to bless the camp's lake so that it would be holy water
I don't remember what process we used, but I know it wasn't an Official Catholic™ one - but then, none of us were Catholic, so it didn't really matter to us.
we performed a ritual, set some stuff on fire, walked around the lakeshore while wearing silly outfits, and then signed a certificate together to mark the consecration of the lake.
I'm pretty sure I've still got the certificate somewhere, but I couldn't find it today when I looked. hopefully it's somewhere safe
1. oh, I have no fucking idea. we just thought it was fun!
but this church camp did have sort of a history of strange rituals - I know of at least three others that took place, one involving dumping someone in the lake as a sacrifice to the lake gods, another that involved burning a racist counselor's stuff after she left the camp, and...I'm pretty sure the third one was some kind of ghost banishing? or maybe ghost-prevention, I can't remember.
2. I had spring rolls with peanut sauce! and they were very yummy
