“Studiuję etnologię dla beki” 10/100

“(Each) human has two souls; the first becomes Christian through the baptism, and the second through the confirmation. The second soul of a human who didn’t receive thier confirmation lives on the earth and becomes a vampire. According to a different legend, there was a period of time when a terrifying amount of vampires roamed the earth, and the people asked pope for help. The pope advised to give children two names upon their baptism in order to baptise the second soul right away. Since then, there are almost no vampires.“
