Saint Julia Jubilee

Saint Julia with Godwin, Andre Confornan

 

In honor of Saint Julia, the wife of the Exalted Prophet Horen, a day is granted for

celebrating her most holy and blessed life. Saint Julia is the patron saint of mothers, religious sisters, and motherhood, among other things. Her jubilee season is to be celebrated in jubilant company and splendid fashion. By the truly great will of the High Priest, His Holy Highness Callixtus Primus, this season has been proclaimed to be: The Grand Harvest of 1608 - 1610.

 

The season shall be filled with pleasantries for both the young and the old. Couples will be blessed by His Holiness and other ordained men of the cloth for the sake of the Saint herself along with a special gift from the Church of the True Faith being placed on every believer’s doorstep. Children, or those who believe themselves to be young-of-mind, can compete in a scavenger hunt throughout the city of Aleksandria. A foot race will be held through the streets of the city as well, with anyone over the age of fifteen allowed to partake and win the possible prizes. Other attractions are available and are listed below:

 

Scavenger Hunt:

 

Small chests will be placed around the city, some being difficult and some being easy to find. The goal is to find these hidden chest to retrieve the prizes hidden inside. Prizes range from food to flowers to small trinkets.

 

Roses on the Doorstep & Blessings from His Holiness:

 

Roses are placed on the doorstep of each believer with a small note calling all married couples to gather in the Church District within Aleksandria to have a blessing placed upon them. Those who are not married can spectate the event that the High Priest should preside over.

 

Apple Bobbing & Foot Race:

 

In the square several large tubs will be filled with water and apples and people will race, for a set amount of time, to pull out as many of the apples by only using their mouth. The winner will receive all the apples they pulled out plus a trinket Holy Cross of Lorraine.

 

Playground and Flower-Picking:

   

A small playground with toys, and other things commonly found in a pleasant setting such as this, will be open to all individuals attending the festival. Flowers will be placed around the area and children will be allowed to pick them for any reason, although the suggested purpose is to give them to their mothers to show their appreciation.

 

Hot Air Balloon Ride:

 

For those who wish to ride through the skies and to see the beautiful city of Aleksandria

from the clouds a hot air balloon will be present at the feast. For some mina everyone

will be able to fly by the grace of the great minds that engineered the many mechanisms

that allow for people to fly.
