Forgiveness?

In this dream, I started off on some kind of veranda of a house in some snowy town at night. The veranda was pretty high up, allowing me a panoramic view of the whole town. It looked like something on the front of a Christmas card.

I then started to fly off, only at this point I was not in control of my movements. It felt more as though I was being guided along. I flew slowly, looking down at the ground below me and landed next to a bare tree in the middle of nowhere. The scene was bleak and dark looking and the sky overcast. Everything was rendered like that of an old painting. There were five children sat around under the tree, one of which was sat in the lap of a girl who looked to be about 17 and was the oldest one there. They were all dressed in 15th century European attire and the oldest girl wore a deep burgandy red dress, which was the only item of colour to be seen. I spoke to the teenager and asked if I could join her group. She then leaned over and spoke in the ear of the child on her lap and said something like "Has he come to be forgiven of his sins?"

That's about all I remember. This dream stuck with me because it felt really odd. There was a strange stillness in the air and everything was rendered like that of an old painting.
