The Three Christmas Masses

"The Three Christmas Masses" by Alphonse Daudet follows Dom Balaguère, a chaplain so intoxicated by visions of roasted turkeys, golden carp, and truffled feasts that he rushes through three sacred midnight Masses with reckless abandon. Prodded by a bell-ringing altar boy secretly revealed to be the devil himself, the priest skips verses, garbles prayers, and sacrifices devotion for dinner — a fatal bargain that earns him a ghostly penance destined to outlast the château itself.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
