VN Ren'Py My Dorm [v0.28.4 S4 Ch.1] [Tropecita Games]

[Satou Pendragon]

It's not a holiday that we only have in Italy. However, yes, 15 August is a public holiday where I live.

I meant if "Ferragosto" is italian, I know about 15th August already for us it's called Δεκαπενταυγουστοσ (Dekapentavgoustos) and yeah also big National Holiday here too.

 

[Satou Pendragon]

I was busy elsewhere......

Yeah we know you are on Vacation mode right now but where is the Rest of you Marthians.

I'm thinking that the Daphne/Eva/Erika hordes must be stealthy ninjas...

I used Zeus miniatures to lure them into my property. They're quite happy with the accomodations

Here in Portugal (but also in Austria, Croatia, Spain, Slovenia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, Italy, Poland and Romania) is an holiday. Here it is a religious one, celebrating the Assumption of Mary.

Peace

but also in Germany, although not throughout the whole country. In Bavaria it's a holiday, I know for sure because I have friends there.

Not alone Bavaria, in the most-catholic regions it‘s a holyday, called Maria Himmelfahrt, en: (holy) Mary flys to the sky . Sorry, I don‘t know the correct term.

 

[MarsUltor]

Thanks for the clarification about the holy day involving the Virgin Mary.

I kept seeing references to August 15th, and started thinking, the 'Ides of August'??


Obviously a fateful day for Caesar Augustus...

Assumption of Mary. Same as here.

 

[groudor]

The Feriae Augusti were a pagan festival very ancient (the latin form is just an adjustment of a more general italian peninsula cultural heritage) meant to thanks the gods and celebrate the end of the harvest.
The name August was added to celebrate the emperor Augustus as a deity (they were all great egomaniacs those leaders ugh) that inserted in the calendar this tradition.
When Christianity took over from paganism, they simply changed the name to the Virgin Mary.Not an unusual behavior in the ancient Church.
To give you an example, a few kilometers from my house, there is still an ancient celtic sanctuary where rites were celebrated in honor of a river deity. Still today there is a local religious ceremony there, but now is the Virgin Mary of the Waters celebrated. Not exactly a subtle substitution.

My friends are Bavarian. I can't say anything else.

It fits... since this is the day of "Asunciòn de Nuestra Señora"

It looks so modern to know the exact date of a city's foundation!
We, mostly, don't know even the year (if you forget about mythical dates like Rome's foundation)!!

the ides of August...
(I guess that would've been the 13th for August somehow - close enough.)

We got it from the Royal Spanish register ..... I mean you guy's founded it, before even founding "Nuestra Señora del Buen Aire"

You looked at the wrong Wikipedia article, there are some big mistakes in the english version, check the Spanish version, in this sort of data they are more reliable.
or you tiped "Asunciòn" and got the foundation data of the Peruvian district

 

[gino.pilotino]

"Nuestra Señora del Buen Aire"

Never heard of her, not even by chance. When is this ‘holy woman’ celebrated?

Most (if not all) of the Iberian Peninsula is inhabited since the dawn of Humanity. There are traces of their presence everywhere... from some of the oldest cave paintings, rock carvings and fossilized remains, to burial sites and above all... signs of cultivation of Olives, Olive Oil, vineyards, salt extraction, and more, so much more that predates even the Homo Sapiens.

Some places, have been inhabited continuously for millennia... cities built atop cities... ruins giving place to new buildings, over and over and over... It is almost impossible to dig deep in some cities without involving Archeology.

Some vineyards in Portugal have been producing high quality wine since before the Pyramids. Obviously not the same vines, but the same land.

Tracing the dates of the foundation of some cities, is just impossible. Both in Portugal and in Spain. But, I suppose the same happens all around the Mediterranean coast.

Peace

None?

Don't look at me. I wasn't there. I'm old, but not so much.
Talking seriously, for chaotic (neutral) people like us Spaniards, those guys did a hell of a job keeping registers of everything!

Talking less seriously, there is an almost universal sentence angry Latin Americans say to Spaniards: "Your ancestors came to our lands to steal our gold and rape our women". It's funny when the guy saying that sentence is a caucasian with a Spanish surname (like Mexican President Lopez-Obrador). My answer usually is "It were YOUR ancestors the ones who went to America to steal gold and rape women. MINE stayed in Europe. That's why I'm European and you Latin American".
