Excerpt from Esoteric
Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias
Laetorius.
"The rituals and observances associated with Saint Christophorus last
twelve days, at least officially. However, centuries ago, the Ophatran Synod
decreed that no relics may be sold, transferred, or bartered within the twelve day
period honoring the patron Saint of the planet. As a result, the day preceding
has become a boisterous market day in which hundreds of relics, books, and
religious artifacts change hands. The multitudes of merchants and peddlers
hawking their wares, many of dubious provenance, is a sight to behold- preferably
from a balcony.”

I see there is blood splatter on the market floor... some things never change... even after 40 mellenia... especially christmas shopping (war).
ReplyDeleteI thought about a Black Friday shopping reference hehehehe
DeleteWhat a joy to the eye. This is pure love. But now you need a 40K-Waldo so we can spot him in the pic!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be the author, Matthias Laetorius ;)
Deletegreat idea.
DeleteThat's brilliant! You've definitely captured the fun of Christmas shopping. I particularly like the caged cherubs/choirboys/heretics who no doubt will be providing some kind of festive entertainment (possibly by being immolated).
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
