Κουλουράκια & Κουλούρι For The Virgin Mary

Koulourakia (left) | Koulouri (right)

From a literary work rebuking early Christian heresies:

This one, again, was also brought to Arabia from Thrace and upper Scythia, and word of it has reached me; it too is ridiculous and, in the opinion of the wise, wholly absurd. So let's begin the discussion and description of it; as others like it were, it too will be adjudged silly rather than wise. [...] For the harm done by both of these sects is equal, since one belittles the holy Virgin while the other, in its turn, glorifies her to excess. And who but women are the teachers of this? Women are unstable, prone to error, and mean-spirited. As in our earlier chapter on Quintilla, Maximilla and Priscilla, so here the devil has seen fit to disgorge ridiculous teachings from the mouths of women.

For certain women decorate a barber's chair or a square seat, spread a cloth on it, set out bread and offer it in Mary's name on a certain day of the year, and all partake of the bread

—as I partially discussed in my same letter to Arabia. Now, however, I shall speak plainly of it and, with prayer to God, give the best refutations of it that I can, so as to grub out the roots of this idolatrous sect and with God's help, be able to cure certain people of this madness. — "Against Collyridians,' who make offerings to Mary" in Panarion by St. Epiphanius of Salamis ca. 374 CE. Entire rant by Epiphanius about this sect is PDF pages 656-664, book pages 637-645— Link

The entire rebuke is just hatred of woman and the mere idea of worshiping Mary is silly little woman's folly leading righteous men to the devil; especially because the sect was either women only or women led. But that opinion doesn't particularly phase me I'm more interested in the alleged practice.

Historians debate whether Collyridians ever existed. But at least it gives me an idea— as an evil Mary worshipping heretic— of what I could offer her food wise. I do have to wonder why he would make up that detail if he was fabricating the sect. Since he admitted it was an oral story I assume that it was at least somewhat based on a real thing that occurred, even if it wasn't an "organized sect." Perhaps it was a small offering to Mary within an actual early sect of Christianity and Epiphanius just decided that the offering itself was an entire sect. But that is all my conjecture.

According to wikipedia the name Collyridians comes from Greek Collyris aka koulouri κουλούρι— which modern koulouri is the same as "Simit" which, according to wikipedia, became a thing in the 16th century CE. Whereas koulourakia κουλουράκια, a type of Greek pastry, is apparently from Minoan times according to Wikipedia..... I'm not sure I buy that though. Collyridians existed in the 4th century CE.

Either way according to a word-of-mouth story that St. Epiphanies heard: a "sect", originating in upper Scythia & Thrace, of Arabian woman offered something like the circle bread koulouri or the pastry koulourakia to The Virgin Mary. At least once a year it was set out on a cloth that was spread over a chair or seat, and then eaten by everyone.

I think an offering of any sweet type bread would do— a "collyridian offering". Of course offering koulouri or koulourakia would be best... but gluten.

Do you know the best thing about this panel?

That it's right after this panel

Basically, it's Arakawa using one of her works to show inner thoughts of a character from the other, and it just so happened that it's The Infamous Scene. And I find it hilarious

Hopper should have stayed dead. Yeah it was sad, but it gives the show more stakes when deaths are real. They’ve done this fake-out death thing multiple times now. That’s why people still believed Billy was alive even when we saw him die. And that’s why people believe Eddie is alive. I hope Eddie’s dead because of the stakes and because the idea that Eddie will be a vampire is so unserious, but the Duffers seem to really love Joseph Quinn as that’s all they keep posting about. So I’m not as certain as others seem to be

Confession #116

People thought Billy was alive???? This is the first I'm hearing of this lol that guy was absolutely mauled to death. If he survived that then he would've needed to be superhuman.

Personally I don't think Eddie is alive. He was also mauled by a swarm of bats and bled out through his wounds. We saw both Billy and Eddie die on screen. (I also think they could just be feeding a lot of Eddie content now, because it won't exist in season 5. AKA, he won't be in the last season.)

The difference with Hopper (I think I mentioned this before) is we didn't technically see his body when he "died". That's the only reason I guess the "resurrection" worked, in my eyes. I also think even without the main character deaths, you can still have very high stakes. Hawkins is quite literally crumbling. Our characters' families are still alive and now in a lot of danger. There's still stakes, I'd say! But I get it, the fake deaths can be exhausting and unoriginal in media.
