Story of a ghost

hey! *rotoscopes your fool*

horse being showered with holy water by a man of the christian church which we can deduce is likely a catholic church due to the relief of a crucifix a symbol only typically used by catholics behind the priest however it seems this crucifix is either unfinished or only of the severed torso of jesus christ which is an interesting design choice if it is purposeful this horse has been welcomed into the catholic church likely on october fourth the feast day of saint francis of assisi who is the patron saint of animals which are oftentimes welcomed into catholic churches on this day to receive blessings in his honor while most catholics and many christians tend to believe that animals dont have souls it is beautiful to see them make an effort to include animals in their masses because despite believing this animal will not go to heaven with them they want the animal to be blessed by their god while they are with it and isnt welcoming all the children of the earth to share in what you hold dear is the most religious thing to do of all
