Nineteenth Entry [Video]

[reckless_eagle]

[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~]

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

[ 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.

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

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

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Really?

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

For sure, no joke!

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Did nobody tell you either?

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like, something like that. A nation's age is... kiiiinda complicated.

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

....Oh! You're a country, aren't you! Like Kingdom of Prussia and Taiwan-chan!

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Tch'yeah, for sure! Except like, the Kindgom of Poland is WAY cooler than the Kingdom of Prussia. He's totes not even a kingdom yet in my time!

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

....Your name has "kingdom" too?

Re: [ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Well, "Kingdom" is more of like... a title than a name. It tells people what kind of nation we are.

[ video ] karneval has no last names fft nai thinks its just one long name

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

.....Ohhhhh. I didn't know.

So it's not "Kingdom of Prussia", it's "Of Prussia"?

[ video ] He's so cute X3

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

It's cool, it's cool. And it's "Prussia". So like, maybe it's more like "Kingdom of" is the title part.

[ video ] hes like a babbyyy

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay! I'll call him "Prussia" then!






...Poland, what are "titles"?

[ video ] An adorable babby~

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

It's... kinda like when you call someone "Mister" Whatever-their-name-is. It's not really part of their name, exactly, but sometimes people say it anyway, and stuff.

[ video ] /o\

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Like "Doctor" or "-chan"?

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

I totally don't know about -chan, but yeah, like "Doctor"!

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Yogi said you use "-chan" for girls or children!

Are there other titles for countries?

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

Yeah, totally! Like... There are Empires, like Rome. Liet's a Grand Duchy. I think America calls himself the "United States" or something. It like, depends on what kind of government we have and how big we are and stuff!

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Um um, I've heard "gov-ernm-ent" before, but I don't really get it... What is it?

[ video ]

[reckless-eagle.livejournal.com]

It's like, the people who are in charge of a country!

[ video ]

[beyourwarmth.livejournal.com]

Different people in charge means different titles?
