Week 1, Monday

[ It's morning!! It's winter!! Eupha is out in her normal cloak, looking at the Christmas scenery. She is observing the big Christmas tree in town. ]

Do the people here make offerings to this tree...? What an interesting custom!

[Eugh, cold. As soon as he enters the town square he is grabbing a thick coat to pull on. Winter has never been his best time.]

It seems so. I'm not sure why you would make offerings to a tree though, unless the tree is sentient or something.

[trifocal]

Well, people make offerings in all kinds of ways. Perhaps there is a god of trees and greenery who is honoured in this way?

[smokeandglasses]

It's possible, I suppose. It's nothing like what we do back home though.

[trifocal]

What sort of spiritual practices do you have, where you come from?

[smokeandglasses]

Most of ours are based on the changing seasons, though we do have one in spring for the founding of the country, one in the winter for the new year, and one in the summer for the first king's birthday. There is no country-sponsored religion, but people of various religions celebrate their holy days in addition to those days.

[trifocal]

Your country has people who practice various religions? ... Do they... get along?

[smokeandglasses]

Well enough. There's always going to be friction between religions, but there weren't any wars or anything.

[trifocal]

Oh, I see... It does sound a bit more peaceful than my world, in that respect.
