Doris Rosado watches her teenage daughters, Ninette and Kiara
Mongrut, get the numbers “666” tattooed on their wrists, beaming with
pride. The number typically conjures up biblical symbolism tied to the
Antichrist, but this St. Catharines, Ont., family belongs to a obscure
Christian sect for which “666” is a positive symbol of their group’s
messianic leader.
“They wanted to do it,” Ms. Rosado, 45, said at the St. Catharines
tattoo parlour where her daughters were inked. “But now it’s more
important because we’re counting down… I’m so proud.”
For this family, and other members of Growing in Grace International,
these tattoos are a way of demonstrating their faith as true believers
of Jose de Luis de Jesus — who they fervently believe is the second
coming of Jesus Christ — before a day of reckoning they believe will
wipe out most of humanity.
