The Coronation Of Queen Elizabeth II.

Genealogy.

A fascinating aspect of genetics is that there’s overwhelming evidence that we are all closely related, making non-sense of political and racial divisions. To be exact the average kinship between people in Britain is sixth cousin, but there are hundreds and thousands of sixth cousins. Which means that most of us can claim to be related to the Queen.
Studies of DNA from the haemoglobin genes suggest that the entire population of the world outside Africa may have descended from a group of fewer than 100 people who emigrated hundreds of thousands of years ago.
It could be what the saints and mystics, like Francis of Assisi, always believed, that all living creatures are kin.
Steve Jones say’s “If you really want to find a connection, there’s a fascinating research paper which proves that there are human genes in yeast. This simple fact is fundamentally astonishing, because it means there is a close relationship between me and a bottle of Chardonnay. Which” He explains “is something I have always known.”

Ha! Ha! lol I like that. Fragment from an interview with Steve Jones. (archive).

Have A Good Day Cousins. X

1066 - 1381 Feudalism [Enslaved by the Normans].

The end of Feudalism in Britain was 1349 after the plague halved the population. At this time workers finally realized their worth. In 1381 the labouring class revolt after the ruling class try to subjugate the working class. The English were enslaved by the Normans from 1066 to c.1381 for 315 years but eventually were able to free themselves of oppression and continue to protect their rights as equal to all to this day.

Happy May Day.

Happy St. George's Day.

Eostre.

There were many parallel stories about resurrected gods and heroes in the ancient world dating back at least to the Sumerians. Christianity found many easy converts in pagan religions that featured resurrected god myths so that it accommodated a pagan Spring festival for pragmatic reasons.

The Venerable Bede, a Northumbrian monk and the first English historian, wrote that Easter derives its name from Eostre who was the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring and the month corresponding to April was called "Eostremonat" or Eostre's month.

In the month of February, Bede claims that the pagans offered cakes to their deities.

The rabbit is a symbol for the goddess Eostre and represents fertility.

In ancient times, the Egyptians, Persians, Romans, Gauls and Chinese all regarded the egg as a symbol of the renewing universe and new life. Easter baskets grew from the pagan representation of birds weaving their nests as they mated.
