Hey, everyone, and welcome to the 2nd part of this season of #FindOutFriday. These are the answers this week. Which did you get correct? Comment below!
Ostara - Commonly known as a pagan holiday. the real Ostara was the beginning of the awakening, or the beginning of spring. In the book series, it meant the beginning of the year and when they could start growing. As you have probably guessed, it's closely linked to the Christian holiday of Easter, complete with flowers, baskets, bunnies and little candies.
US Pacific shoreline - This is more imagery than anything else. Route 1 in California has been a goal of mine to visit, before climate change claims it. The pictures and videos I have seen built the western shoreline of the kingdom of Cherls, where Miranda and Julia lived. To be in the woods and suddenly come to a clearing and then a beach was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.
The Vatican - Part of the idea of Mother Church was based on the city state of the Vatican. Ruled by the pope (the Holy One in the Enos world), this religious figure held sway over most of Europe for centuries. Breaking from him meant excommunication and war from your neighbors. It was a real threat, and one monarchs and princes did not take lightly. It was a huge deal with break with Rome...and with Mother Church too.
That's it, everyone. Stay warm, and have a great day. Namaste!
