The people are hypnotized, they have lost their way.

A terrible demonic force has come into action.

It is in the air, penetrating everywhere.

In the past, it dwelt in swamps and dense forests because people attended church and wore the cross.

Homes were protected by icons, vigil lamps, and holy water.

Demons flew right by and did not enter those homes.

Today, however, the people themselves have become the dwelling place of demons due to their lack of faith and their departure from God.
