Don't tell anyone, but on the pagan day of the sun god Ra, I kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh....And if any of you care to join me, come to the Harvard chapel on Sunday, kneel beneath the crucifix, and take Holy Communion. Dan Brown
About This Quote

When the time comes for me to die, I will kneel at the foot of an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh. I will do it in the Harvard chapel on Sunday, when all are at ease. I will take Holy Communion, but instead of consuming the symbolic body of Christ, I will consume the symbolic body of Ra. The Ra symbol represents the sun, which is considered central to the worship of the Egyptian god Ra.

He was often depicted as a man with a falcon head or as a man with a sun disk between his shoulders. On Sunday, while all others kneel beneath the crucifix, I will kneel beneath an ancient instrument of torture and consume ritualistic symbols of blood and flesh.
