ECCLESIASTICAL PROCLAMATION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHEREAS the beliefs on matters of death and resurrection are
|
|
especially promulgated during the weekend of the
|
|
First Sunday after the first full moon after the
|
|
Vernal Equinox, and
|
|
|
|
WHEREAS these concepts are so closely tied by many in many
|
|
churches to ancient ceremonies of fertility and
|
|
symbolized by Bunnies and Eggs and other esoteric
|
|
symbols of rebirth and new life, and
|
|
|
|
WHEREAS the promise of eternal life was extended to everyone
|
|
as far back as 1939 (or even earlier, to hear some
|
|
tell it) and that possibility is recognized by lots
|
|
of folks, and
|
|
|
|
WHEREAS the Saturday prior to the Sunday mentioned above has
|
|
heretofore remained generally unclaimed, unnamed, and
|
|
uncelebrated, now,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Saturday before the First
|
|
Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal
|
|
Equinox be proclaimed and known as ELVIS SATURDAY
|
|
from this day forward, and be celebrated by the
|
|
faithful in joyous recognition of all Spring
|
|
Festivals associated with rebirth and fertility with
|
|
the eternal melodies of St. Elvis Aron Presley, who
|
|
lives forever in the eternal present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wherefore I have set my mark and caused to be
|
|
affixed the seal of the Church of Elvis ULC
|
|
on this 14th day of April, 1990.
