Food Cleansing

In order to remove sin from our lives, prayer is need and when we feast to sustain ourselves are meals must be cleansed as well. - Priest of the Spirit

History

Vatians when dealing with the The Spirit and Flame always take themselves a little bit overboard when it comes to sin and they consider things sinful in life and most cleanse it before proceeding. Especially when it comes to food as it is deemed very sinful as it can bring pleasure to many while eating it. Making it highly sinful in the process. To counteract this a prayer of cleansing is done to the food while it is being made and before it is eaten as a way to remove the sin in the process. This take around ten minutes for both lengths of time and everyone must to eat no matter what, even when they are starving. To eat before the cleansing is to result having your meal taken away and being force to confess your sins at the nearest church and then you may have you meal after it has been cleansed, but it will be cold and you must eat it as a reminder of never doing. Once the cleansing is done all the food that is on the table is cleansed and you may eat as much as you want. But it must be done again if fresh food is put out on the table.
