Greetings all,
On this day we commemorate International Byzantine Day, the first Holiday created in Byzantium Novum:
On this day, May 11 in 330 AD, the Emperor Constantine officially
consecrated Constantinople as the new Capital city of the Roman Empire. The city
was officially blessed by both the Church and the priesthood of the ancient
religions, and holy artifacts from both (including the Palladium and
artifacts associated with he life of Jesus) were buried at the base of
the Column of Constantine to empower Constantinople with sacred
energies.
This is a wonderful day to remember, celebrate and promote Byzantine
Civilization and Culture. It is a day to recognize that if the Roman world
could be renewed once, it can be renewed again... and that we ALL can make a
fresh start for ourselves if we are willing to.
Please take some time today to remember the Eastern Roman Empire, and enjoy
its amazing heritage!
Oh, and feel free to have cake. :)
-Marcus Cassius Julianus
