Are there special Chocolate Holidays?
Chocolate Cake, Church Matters June 5th, 2008It seems odd that one of the main religions on Earth has a literal ‘Movable Feast’ where chocolate is consumed in huge quantities, but Chocolate Cake is not mentioned.
I was discussing this at length with High Priest Theo Broma, and we came to no fixed conclusion. We partook of Cake and considered this.
- Easter appears to be derived from a Cake ingredient - the Egg. This must be so because chocolate eggs are given, received and hunted for.
- There is a non-sequitur, in that the Easter Bunny appears to lay chocolate eggs. It is believed that this is a fertility symbol.
So we were perplexed. Nonetheless it seems good to us, and in total keeping with the ancient Tablets and their writings, to absorb the holy days, or holidays, of other minor religions into our own. We do not do this in any spirit of evangelism, for we are a religion awaiting followers to eat Chocolate Cake and be saved by default. We do it instead out of Cakemanship, akin to statesmanship.
We will not lose the names of Easter, the Chocolate Festival, nor of Christmas, the Cake festival, nor will we interfere with their placement in the calendar, though we feel that the Greek Orthodox division of The Chocolate Cake Church does need to come into line on dates with the rest of us. Instead we will adopt those names and celebrate them with joy and wonderment. And we will reunite Chocolate and Cake by offering a Baking at each of these major festivals.
Each minor festival is now a major Chocolate Cake festival. Separation and division is over.
May the Chocolatey Mistress be pleased!
