===6/6/06 High Mass===

On June 6, 2006, the Church of Satan held the first public ritual Satanic Mass in 40 years at the [[Steve Allen Theater]] in the [[Center for Inquiry]] in Los Angeles. The date corresponds to the [[Number of the beast|number of the Beast]], 666, from the biblical Book of Revelation. The ritual, based on the rites outlined in ''The Satanic Bible'' and ''The Satanic Rituals'', was conducted by Reverend Bryan Moore and Priestess Heather Saenz.<ref name="Lacitybeat.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=3916&IssueNum=158 |title=Los Angeles CityBeat — The Devil's Advocates |publisher=Lacitybeat.com |date= |access-date=2009-06-07 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081223231729/http://www.lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=3916&IssueNum=158 |archive-date=2008-12-23 }}</ref>
