First Advent Holiday Message

 Message from the Sovereign Empress to the People of the Monarchies on the First Advent of 2025

Dear Subjects and Citizens of the Monarchies,

As we gather to welcome the first Advent of this meaningful year, let us reflect on the journey we have taken. The Monarchy wars are behind us, and a the new Monarchy of the Sovereign Empress hopes for unity in spirit and peaceful boundaries as the dawn of 2026 approaches.

In the spirit of this season, we turn our hearts and minds toward the upcoming celebration of St. Nicholas on December 6th. As you prepare for this day of joy and generosity, consider the delightful tradition of placing your shoes outside the house, awaiting the small gifts that symbolize kindness and abundance.

Remember, the shoes are not a sign of want, they are a sign of the charity that St. Nicholas embodies. He asks for nothing in return, yet he shares his blessings with all, regardless of their circumstances. Let this act of generosity inspire you for the month of December.  

As we embrace this season of Advent, let us carry forward the legacy of St. Nicholas, opening our hearts  and fostering a sense of community and love among us all.

Warmest wishes for a joyful Advent season,

Your Sovereign Empress

Emmy Ann Horstkamp, Chief, Empress of China, Empress of France, Sovereign Empress of England & Spain, Koenigin von Bayern
