God bless his All-Holiness. I guess it's time to start the logical campaign:

BAD BOY, BAD ARIMETHEA, YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE NAUGHTY CHAIR! I just read the caption and about choked on Veniamin's Lenten Southwest Bean Soup (very good soup recipe BTW, Veniamin. You need to try it with a couple of slices of my homemade bread). Now, back to Arimethea - very very naughty.  |

Troparion - Tone 1:
O Sebastian, spurning the assemblies of the wicked,You gathered the wise martyrs Who with you cast down the enemy; And standing worthily before the throne of God, You gladden those who cry to you:Glory to him who has strengthened you! Glory to him who has granted you a crown!

When I created this post I did it so that it would be obvious that this is an April Fools joke, guess I failed. So that no one else thinks that this is real... THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!!!! For those of you who think this was a lame April Fools joke, you are right. My other joke I did ended up getting me a phone call from our beloved Site Dhespota, Anastasios, and congratulations from a Bishop. I decided to change my Facebook status from single to engaged. By far one of the most successful April Fools jokes ever. |

Sarcasm is literally one of the hardest things to understand when coming to a new language! especially through such an impersonal means at the internet. Also I'm not quite sure they have April Fools day in Philippine's. Its a day when people play pranks on each other and this article happened to be one of them. |

Hahahahahaha!!! This makes me come to a funny realization, that if you did that to an elderly Filipino, they'll knock you out of your socks!! Of course the younger generations don't do that anymore, although we are still taught never to play jokes with our parents and elders.. Its cultural.. I guess its kinda obvious with what I said, that we don't celebrate it here. |
