Religion is a very personal concept, but ultimately all religions are a tradition, no matter which God we pray to.
The Elves are not religious, but Santa Claus was a close friend of Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte (1936-2015). The two had been classmates at the seminary and had taken up the sport of amateur boxing together. Their life paths then took two different directions, one becoming a cardinal and the other a Santa Claus...
Santa insists that his Elves never pass through Montreal without visiting the Cathedral where Cardinal Turcotte resided.
Ulysse and his master were very fond of Jean-Claude, but their favorite religious figures are Saint-Antoine de Padou, and of course the good Saint Brother André.
The visit to the Cathedral on Saturday evening, December 23, 2023, ended in front of the statue of Saint André on René-Lévesque Boulevard.
A little later on Sunday night, December 24 (2:20 a.m.), firefighters went to put out a blaze at Notre-Dame Basilica in Old Montreal.
One never knows the fate...
