[The only thing that shows up on the video feed is a sigil on a flag of some kind hung up on a wall--it fills the whole screen and the camera is set up purposefully for it does not move the entire time. See icon for exact image of the sigil.]

Today is the Feast of Annunciation.

In Firenze, that also means the beginning of the New Year. I realize that many have already celebrated such an event and I will admit at the time it befuddled me that so many celebrated it during that time, and then again the Eastern tradition was on yet another day altogether. So it was celebrated twice here with such a diversity of peoples. But to me the beginning of the year starts this day. I realize it seems odd to celebrate the new year right in the middle of a month but it is how we've done it for years. Call it a religious fault, if you will, though that may be inaccurate it does fall on the celebration on the Annunciation of Christ--likely on purpose.

Either way... I quite like the tradition.


Ezio, enjoy the grapes and strawberries while they last. I won't be asking for them again anytime soon. And I imagine they are very hard to grow at this time of the year.

Arcivescovo Maxwell, I will be coming to the church to pay my respects. I assume you still celebrate the day despite the chronology differences?

Su Altezza Alessandro, Cardinale Sforza--will you hold true as well? Shall I see the two of you today?

La sicurezza e la pace sulla città ei suoi abitanti. Potrebbe essere il giorno luminoso e felice per tutti. Buon anno.

[[Arcivescovo - Archbishop

Su Altezza - Your Highness

Cardinale - Cardinal

Safety and peace upon the city and its residents. May the day be bright and happy for all. Happy new year.]]

It is. But being with friends and eating a little more than usual contents me enough. [He chuckles a bit.]

A l-little more is a b-big treat.

It's l-like the week of h-holidays right n-now, isn't it?
From: [identity profile] betrayedblade.livejournal.com
Basically how it sounds: very religious and punctuated by a large feast of celebration.

Thank you, Yorda. I will return the seeds promptly.

Not likely.

Yes. It is a big deal where I am from to be faithful.

Care to tell me morrre? You have gained my curiosity.
From: [identity profile] betrayedblade.livejournal.com
Ahh-- Religion ...is a faith in a supreme being, or in the past supreme beings. A feast is a very large dinner, usually in celebration of something important or honorary.

[He chuckles.] Ah, yes. That will be very good.

About the religion in general, or the celebration in specific?

I w-wonder if it's too late t-to try and have s-some waffles.
