reckless_eagle | Nineteenth Entry [Video]

[Poland, dressed in his 15th century Sunday best, is in a smallish room bedecked with candles and crosses. Today, it's also decorated with white cloth hangings and flowers everywhere. ~~After all that Lenten fasting, it appears he was able to will his room to have a chapel attached!~~]

So, um. I know not everyone here is Christian, but... Today's a really important day for those of us who are, and I kinda wanted to share that with people. So like, I wanted to start the day with a reading from Matthew for everyone! And Liet and I have been making tons of sweets and pisanki for today, if anyone wants to come hang out and help us eat them...

But first things first~ [He crosses himself, then picks up a huge, leather-bound Bible with vellum pages, flipping it open to a page he'd marked and beginning to read aloud. His Latin accent is actually pretty good, because he's had a LOT of practice since his baptism over 400 years ago.]

A lesson from the Gospel of Matthew:

Vespere autem sabbati quae lucescit in primam sabbati venit Maria Magdalene et altera Maria videre sepulchrum
et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidem et sedebat super eum
erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur et vestimentum eius sicut nix
prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes et facti sunt velut mortui
respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus nolite timere vos scio enim quod Iesum qui crucifixus est quaeritis.

Non est hic surrexit enim sicut dixit venite videte locum ubi positus erat Dominus
et cito euntes dicite discipulis eius quia surrexit et ecce praecedit vos in Galilaeam ibi eum videbitis ecce praedixi vobis
et exierunt cito de monumento cum timore et magno gaudio currentes nuntiare discipulis eius
et ecce Iesus occurrit illis dicens havete illae autem accesserunt et tenuerunt pedes eius et adoraverunt eum
tunc ait illis Iesus nolite timere ite nuntiate fratribus meis ut eant in Galilaeam ibi me videbunt.

[He closes the Bible, and holds it up in front of him with a reverent little bow.]

The Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God!

[Setting the Bible aside, he gives the camera a happy smile.]

Alleluia, Christ is risen! Happy Easter, everyone ♥

[OOC: I'm... not Catholic, so there are more or less guaranteed to be little errors here. But I tried! And happy Easter to everyone from the mun, too, while I'm OOC note-ing~]

I bet he made lots of people feel all warm inside!

"Prophecies"?

He so did! And still does, really~

Prophecies are like, when God gives messages to people and tells them about the future and stuff!

Yeah, 'cause like, when he came back from the dead it was to a new, unending life!

............

He's like, God. The maker of the world?

Before there was anything else, there was God! And he like, spoke and told the world to be, and it was, and then he put all the stuff on it!

Ohh. Ehehe, Tsukumo-chan never told me that a person made the world before!

Thank you for teaching me, mister!

Like, no problem! If you ever have more questions about God and stuff, you can totally ask, okay? My name's Poland!

Okay, I will!

My name's Nai!

It's like, nice to meet you, Nai!

It's nice to meet you too, Poland!

Poland, why do you put "like" there? It kinda sounds different from the way I learned how to use it...

Huh? I don't know, it's like, just how I talk. Maybe it's 'cause you learned somewhere different?

[ tilts head and frowns a bit ]

A lot of people asked me that since I came here, but I don't know. Karoku never told me.

Eh, that's cool. I totally don't know exactly how old I am, either.

[ video] WELL, YAY FOR POLAND BECAUSE NAI NEVER STOPS ASKING QUESTIONS

[ video] OH, GOD. THEY'LL JUST ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER ;;;
