Outside the airport, Helsinki is ablaze with autumn colors.

This beautiful city exudes a unique charm amidst the chill of October.

Helsinki Cathedral soars into the clouds, its white main building appearing even more solemn and majestic against the backdrop of the blue sky.

The church's spire seems to pierce the sky, and its massive stone pillars support its magnificent structure.

"Come on, let's take a picture here."

Shen Yulou, holding the baby, directed Chi Yuan to take a photo of himself with the church.

"Da da?"

What are they doing?

The little guy looked at the people coming and going at the church entrance with some curiosity.

"Ahh!"

Look, Daddy, look.

The little one wants to join in the fun.

Are they worshipping?

Shen Yulou's gaze followed Zai Zai's eyes and entered the church.

"I think so. There should be a worship service here today. Do you want to go?"

"Although it was a little boring, the choir's hymns were very beautiful and felt very ethereal."

Choirs are generally composed of believers who have received some vocal training.

During the worship service, they led the congregation in singing hymns and sacred songs in beautiful harmony.

"Let's go take a look, I've never seen it before."

"Does only believers have to come? Can ordinary people come too?"

Shen Yulou was still very curious about their form of worship.

"OK."

Chi Yuan nodded and took Shen Yulou's hand as they went inside.

The church organ played a melodious and solemn tune, the notes floating in the air, creating a sacred and solemn atmosphere.

The little one looked curiously at the stained glass window above.

Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows, creating dappled shadows.

Some of it landed on the baby, and the little guy touched the colorful, shiny spots on his body.

The benches were already full of people who had come to worship, their expressions solemn as they quietly waited for the service to begin.

The couple quietly found an empty seat and sat down.

"Aren't the clergy who preside over worship services in Lutheran Protestant churches also pastors? I'm afraid I've mispronounced the term."

Before the service began, Shen Yulou whispered to Chi Yuan downstairs.

When the little one came in, his father specifically told him to be quiet, so the little one sat on his father's lap and sucked his thumb like a big shot.

Grandpa Liangjingjing?

How can Grandpa emit light?!

The little boy turned his head and saw a tolerant, peaceful and kind old man wearing a white robe with many flowers on it.

In the child's eyes, the priest seemed to be covered by a layer of pure white light.

Grandpa is talking.

Grandpa's voice is so soothing.

I want to sleep...

The pastor's chanting made the little one drowsy, while the choir's harmonious singing made him even sleepier.

The pastor began to guide everyone to reflect.

"Have we forgotten to care for others in our busy lives?"

The little one loves his dad!

"Have you lost sight of your original aspirations in the pursuit of fame and fortune...?"

My little one has never disliked sparkly things.

The little guy listened to the pastor's words and started to wiggle his feet.

May God bless you.

After the service ended, Shen Yulou and Chi Yuan wiped their son's face and left the church.

"Are you sleepy, little one?"

We went to the coffee shop next door and ordered some snacks. The little one lay quietly in the stroller, clutching his little hamster toy.

"call."

"It still feels quite cold outside."

Shen Yulou blew on his breath, rubbed his hands together, and wrapped scarves around his and Chi Yuan's necks.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go to Rovaniemi to see Santa Claus? But I think it's too early to go now."

"We should go to Rovaniemi around Christmas time to make it more lively."

Shen Yulou scrolled through her phone, searching for travel guides.

Rovaniemi is the officially recognized location of "Santa Claus Village".

There are even special Santa Claus training schools, where Santa Clauses who are fluent in multiple foreign languages ​​will wait for tourists in their "offices".

"This house is nice. How about we buy it in Rovaniemi?"

"It's perfect so we can take our kids to see Santa Claus every year."
