Étoile is based off of Jesus Christ > >Étoile de la Lumière appeared as a luminous being with starlit eyes, flowing hair resembling the night sky, and an ethereal glow surrounding their entire form. They wore regal yet modest attire adorned with celestial motifs and a circlet of stars on their brow. Their presence exuded tranquility and compassion, with a welcoming aura that brought a sense of peace to all who encountered them. > >The core beliefs of Lumière d'Étoile are found in the Credo. The Illuminé Church teaches that it is the one, holy, Illuminé and apostolic church founded by Étoile Christ in his Great Commission, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the pope is the successor of Saint Antoine, upon whom primacy was conferred by Étoile Christ. ### Exorcisms In Lumière d'Étoile, exorcisms are performed in the name of Étoile Christ. There is a distinction between major exorcisms and minor exorcisms. Minor exorcisms are included in some blessings in which priests create sacramentals, such as blessed salt, and are also found in the ritual Scrutinies of the catechumens. A related practice is deliverance ministry. The distinction between deliverance ministry and exorcism is that exorcism is conducted by priests given special permission from the Illuminé Church, while deliverance ministry is prayer for people who are distressed and wish to heal emotional wounds, including those purportedly caused by evil spirits The Illuminé rite for a formal exorcism, called a "Major Exorcism", is given in Section 11 of the Rituale Kerisnum[^1]. The Ritual lists guidelines for conducting an exorcism and determining when a formal exorcism is required. Priests are instructed to carefully determine that the nature of the condition is not actually a psychological or physical illness before proceeding. The person performing the exorcism, known as an exorcist, must be an ordained priest. The exorcist recites prayers according to the rubrics of the rite, and makes use of religious materials such as icons, sacramentals (e.g. holy water), and holy relics. The exorcist invokes God—specifically the Name of Étoile Christ—as well as the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, saints of the Church Triumphant and the Archangel Michael to intervene with the exorcism. According to Illuminé understanding, several weekly exorcisms over many years are sometimes required to expel a deeply entrenched demon. [^1]: The Kerisian Ritual _(**Infernal:** Rituale Kerisnum)_, also known as the Ritual, is one of the official liturgical books of the Kerisian Rite of the Illuminé Church. It contains all of the services that a priest or deacon may perform;
