TURK
(whispering)
I no longer want to be Turkish. Neither Muslim, nor anything else. I am a servant of God.
A scholar extends his hand and blesses him.
SCHOLAR NIKIFOROS
Today, we baptize you not only with water but with the blood of Christ and tears of repentance.
The young man bows his head and steps into the baptismal font. The scholar sings a hymn and baptizes him firmly:
SCHOLAR
Servant of God... Michael has been baptized!
This passage beautifully captures a moment of deep transformation and faith, showing how identity can be shaped by personal conviction and spiritual renewal. It’s powerful in its simplicity and meaning. I just shared a new travel post. I am excited for you to read it. Thank you. Happy weekend.
