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~]

I got some things for you, so where are you? [Prepare for sloppily painted egg and choco-bunny]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-04 05:40 pm (UTC)I'm like, in my room! You should defs come by and hang out for a while~
no subject
Date: 2010-04-04 06:01 pm (UTC)[And she is, knocking away with two baskets in her hands. Each had a chocolate bunny, and an egg painted with the countries' names and flags. One for Poland, one for Lithuania!]

Date: 2010-04-04 08:20 pm (UTC)Hey!
no subject
Date: 2010-04-04 09:10 pm (UTC)[And she shoves the baskets at you]
This is for you! And Lithuania-- he's here too, right?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-04 09:20 pm (UTC)Yeah, he's totally around!
[He goes and puts the basket down on a wooden table, then goes to a BIG basket of eggs he decorated and picks out a red one (left) with intricate white patterns scratched into it, offering it to her]
Here!
no subject
Date: 2010-04-04 09:23 pm (UTC)[She examines the egg for a good minute or so before glancing around.]
no subject
Date: 2010-04-04 09:33 pm (UTC)[The other food, laid out on the table, consists mostly of breads and cakes. They look delicious.]
[As for the room, it's pretty modest in size, and REALLY old-fashioned--stone walls and floor with wooden supports here and there, swords and armor hung up in a corner, tapestries and torches on the walls and rugs on the floor, one big bed with plenty of blankets and pillows
that Poland STILL somehow steals all of. A few little tables and chairs, all pretty but obviously handcrafted, one of which is being used for the food. And a writing desk, naturally, with a small stack of parchment, an unlit candle, two seals, and... two communicators.][If Meriken thinks two dudes who say they're not involved sleeping in the same bed is weird, it's... kind of obvious, in here. There's nowhere but the one big bed to sleep.]

Date: 2010-04-04 09:37 pm (UTC)[And she does help herself. Because sweets are awesome. None can stand up to American food, but they're allowed to come close, right? Well, sweets are good no matter what!
She glances around while eating cake before speaking, not caring that her mouth is full.]
Sfoo, 'ohr 'oom iff 'eally ff'ol faffuhn!
[What.]

[MIND BOGGLES.]
