Today is the orthodox Easter day. Last night reverend fathers from the Bulgarian Orthodox Church were rushing from church to church the whole night serving astray masses and giving blessings to the deluded laymen. The transfer of the (so called) Holy Fire from Jerusalem to Bulgaria was taking place for the fourth consecutive year. (The Holy Fire is believed to appear only before the Orthodox Easter and it is believed to be non-material in the first few minutes of its occurrence - i.e. it does not emit warmth -
?????) - I think the Holy Fire is reminding about the thermal treatment of the ingredients of the Holy Pasta.

It is paradoxical that after Easter this year we have eleven rest days – in the poorest country in EU there are days off more than in others.
En mateno de hela ero, per la forĉo de espero, venas viglaj pastafaroj, vere fluganta gefratoj.
Ah, vi flugu, Nia Monstro! Vin observas milionoj serĉiantaj vermiĉeloj, per espero kaj per amo.
Kaj la bona pastafaro post la malfermita pordo, trovos la eternan vivon en pastafara paradizo!
Pastafarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!Българска пастафарианска църква (Bulgarian Pastafarian Church)-
за прослава на Макаронения Бог
