Of course, Cassius caught up to Maria, and soon he was dragging her away to show off all the other stalls that had been set up. There were so many of them, and all were wonderful.
At one stall, there was a complete candle-making setup.
Maria's eyes lit up immediately—she loved making candles for her church.
There was an entire workshop arranged with so many different aromatic oils and waxes, with various molds and colors to choose from.
"I can really make my own?" She asked excitedly.
"As many as you want." Cassius confirmed with a smile.
They then moved on to another stall where there were shelves upon shelves of old books. As someone devoted to the faith herself, she treasured reading such texts.
But these books were particularly special—they had been owned by previous high-ranking members of the church who had done many wonderful things in their time.
They were basically relics, precious artifacts of church history!
"Cassius, how did you even acquire these?"
