Nuns are rarer than pilgrims especially you count in the ones traveling the St. Jacob's Path. Catholics pilgrim all the time churches in Italy are full of them. Not normal tourists, but people who actually kiss the grave of some saint or make sacrificial gifts.

I just realised how Pink has eye lashes but not Luce which is a nice detail considering that they're both grills. Think the two others are boys as well, but considering the differences between Luce and Pink we cannot be sure. The one with the red cape could be a girl.
Wonder if they have names. Luce is feminine in Italian so maybe we could tell by the names.

>>272586521
hey i think those buildings are truly amazing, i will probably never step inside them, but i appreciate good art and architecture. i like cathedrals and museums with religious art. the bible is pretty clear on what idolatry is. the catholics realized sympathetic art would boost the cause. beautiful art galvanizes the human soul into great action. imagine how counterproductive trying to suppress or ban religious art would have been. it was for a while the only subject to the medieval crowd, and remained a favorite into the renaissance. instead, the church spent money on it, and made sure it fit the bill, that it wasn't too scandalous. a little scandal is ok.

They are also represent the four recognizes races similar to the non-canon three biblical magi; Casper, Melchior and Balthasar.
Luce is European, The pink green girl is most likely Asian, so she also gets a "kawaii" bear bag.
The two darker skinned once are like mentioned most likely boys. The red one being a Latino and the blue one being African.
Also I found this image here on a booru posted by someone, don't know if the character design explanation are the actual intended ones.

Kind of fucked up how 99% of people are too retarded to even understand why idolatry was considered bad in the first place.
By visualizing your worship through the lens of an idol, you pollute the real thing. For example, if enough people pray to a wicker statue of God for long enough, they start to associate God's presence with that wicker statue's presence. The wicker statue, being made by man, has artistic implications that will actively guide you away from a more legitimate understanding of God's nature, thus praying to an idol is a bad thing.
Here's some actual consequences of idolatry: Paradise Loss and Dante's Inferno have irrevocably changed how the average Christian and even the average human perceive of Christian cosmology. Hell didn't exist like that into an Italian incel invented it. Lucifer was just some vague bad guy with no real motive until some British incel gave him a backstory.
And now that shit has permanently warped how people perceive the religion. That's the danger here. Now, I'm not even going to say that idolatry is always bad, because it is a remarkably autistic concept. But the hypocrisy of retards like you rubs me the wrong way because you pearl clutch and cast judgement while not even being able to comprehend why, or see how you commit the same sins--but worse--every day.
Nobody is without sin, but God is the judge, not you, faggot. Shut the fuck up and stop throwing stones in a glass house.

This.
There's a lot of examples of weird, niche christian outreach shit that is kind of weird and doesn't really stand the test of time. I don't think it's a bad thing, just a fact. I don't think we should be pissed off or angry that most ideas fail, because, hey, most ideas fail. That's why you try a bunch of ideas until you happen upon one that works.
I don't think Luce is going to be a thing, but whatever. The impulse to try and reach people isn't bad even if the results are often cringe and fade away.

I'm still hoping this isn't actually a thing the church is doing. It's one thing if somebody makes Veggie Tales, it's another thing entirely if the church makes something like Veggie Tales.

I never even met more than three or so christians in my country we stopped being religious ages ago (save for one or two states maybe), but it doesn't seem weird to me I mostly see it as art related and cultural thing.

Many people don't even do it because they are particularly faithful (although most say "Well, why not? Let's make a wish") but as a way to break away with Spengler's "world city" and the grind of digital and industrial life, and it's only natural in times of strife and uncertainty people turn to old traditions to feel a sense of transcendence and continuity.
