21st anniversary
was supposed to go to church..
but had a really bad tummyache throughout the night.
today is the church's 21st anniversary.
and i still got the souveneir.
the cover of the box.
the inside.
today's also the chinese valentine's day, 七夕情人節 (2007農曆7月7日).
and so the legend goes...
傳說，天上玉皇大帝有七個女兒，其中最小的女兒織女，最聰明可愛、手藝又巧。天上皇宮中的重要織錦都由她負責設計與製作。另外，玉皇大帝有一群牛，由一個叫做牛郎的年輕人負責管理。兩人情投意合、互相愛慕，至荒廢了原本的工作。於是玉皇大帝下旨，叫喜鵲告訴這兩個熱戀的情侶要節制，七日見一次面即可。沒想到喜鵲傳錯話，他們以為每天均可相見，更是高興無比，工作完全拋在腦後。玉皇大帝這回就龍顏大怒，降旨他們每年只能見一次面，就是農曆七月七日的晚上。那一天喜鵲這群肇事者就負責搭橋，讓他們兩人踩在他們的肩膀上相會。因為一年僅能見一次面，當然有說不完的衷曲、道不盡的悲情，於是那天幾乎都會下著毛毛雨，象徵兩人的淚水。
in short, in chinese legend it says that the 7th month and 7th day of the lunar calender is the day that niu lang (cow man *oops, direct translation*), who looks after the cows, meets with zhi nv (sewing lady), who sews for the palace(that is said in heaven) and is also the youngest daughter of the jade emperor . the reason why they can only meet once a year is due to their negligence in doing their jobs when they fell in love, and so the jade emperor passes down a decree to say they could only meet on that particular day.
