Happy Dead Christ Day!

Happy Dead Christ Day, everyone! On this day, over two thousand-ish years ago, Jesus lay completely dead for the entire day.

Each year, to honor this occasion, the Vatican wheels out a golden coach that contains the skull of Christ on a really fancy embroidered pillow, and they have a giant parade through the streets of Rome with banners and trumpets and everything.

It's fucking amazing.
