JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. This cartoon is based on a story from the 6th session of St. Joan's trial. Before I explain it, here's the original segment, translated by W. S. Scott: "Asked what was the age of the child at Lagny that she went to see, she replied: The baby was three days old. And it was brought to Lagny to Notre Dame. And she was told that the maidens of the town were before [the statue of] Our Lady; and that she might like to go and pray to God and Our Lady that it might live. And she went there and prayed to God with the others. And finally life appeared in it, and it yawned three times; then it was baptised and immediately after died, and was buried in consecrated ground. For three days, they said, no life had appeared in the child; and it was as black as her tunic. But when it yawned, the colour began to come back. And she was with the maidens on her knees in front of [the statue of] Our Lady, offering prayers. Asked if it were not said by the town that she had brought this about, and that it was by her intercession, she replied: I never inquired." 2. To summarize, Joan was in a town called Lagny, where a stillborn child was placed before a statue of Mary in hopes of a miraculous revival. Joan is asked to pray over him with the other young women of the town, and when they finish, the baby is temporarily revived and quickly baptized before dying again. 3. Medieval Catholics believed baptism was essential for salvation, and that anyone who died without it could not get into heaven. Losing a child would've been bad enough without believing their soul was lost too, so although this baby's return to life was only temporary, his quick baptism would have meant the world to his family and community. For those who are curious, the Church still believes that baptism is necessary for salvation, but they also teach that God can offer its graces Himself, without the need for formal ceremony. The sacraments are bound to God, but He is not bound by His sacraments. 4. Though it's not explicitly stated in this part of the manuscript, one of the narratives being pushed by the judges during the trial was that Joan was always out to glorify herself, not God. They ask her if the people of Lagny credited her for the miracle, but in this cartoon, I expand that question a bit to get at what they were really trying to say. 5.

wouldnt it be simultaneously extremely funny and extremely sad if wei ying's 婴 (infant, baby) was actually his milk name and his official name after his 100 days was still ying but 螢 (firefly), and no one else knew but his parents ? and he himself didnt know either bc cangse-sanren kept on calling him 婴 for the family inner jokey jokes and rarely called him 螢 ? bc apparently "The milk name may be abandoned but is often continued as a form of familial nickname." (Wikipedia, 2024)

[note that, as far as i understand it, 嬰 (yīng) and 螢 (yíng) have diff tones and could historically have been pronounced differently so i wouldnt say they necessarily sound alike to ppl who do know the language well aka wwx and his fam and literally everyone else in the world of mdzs. they only sound alike to ppl who arent used to the nuances and minute differences in the tones that exist in mandarin chinese. correct me if im wrong tho lmao this is just for funsies]

I love Midsomer Murders because often the race against time at the very end is to stop the killer from killing again but sometimes it's to stop a baptism from occurring that the parents then reschedule at a later date. It's important to note that the child does not seem to be in any danger whatsoever. The priest is just desperate to baptize her. We are, however, meant to believe there will be dire consequences if a little bit of water is poured over this baby's head at this time instead of at a later time.

Can't find much info about this photo, but it's claimed it's a mass baptism of babies in Gaza because their parents fear they might be killed before they get baptized. (x)

Anyone know which church this is?

when i was born the doctor turned to my mother and shook their head and said quietly “i have bad news to share” and my mother was concerned straightening up in her bed going “what’s wrong? did something happen?” and the doctor replied “i would say congratulations, but your child is a twitter footy bro. my condolences.” i don’t think my mother has ever mentally recovered from that — @lee-kangin

Literally assigned twitter bro at birth 😭😭😭 one thing about me this kind of joke set up ALWAYS gets me because imagine what kind of judgy person you have to be to look at those freshly born babies and diagnose them with being cringe 😭😭😭

In the Natives AU, baby Skeklings and Urrlings go through a sort of baptism that makes them part of their communities. Skeklings are blessed a few days after their birth by the Ritual Master who pours water on them while doing incantations (symbolically cleansing them to be clean and presentable before Thra) then rises them over their head to the Suns symbolically for them to feed on its light from then on and live long lives, then the Ritual Master has to perform the Dance of Life. Urrlings are blessed 24 hours after their birth ideally by the Ritual Guardian for being sure for the incantations ro be right and have the tools, but allowed to be done by a parent too if they live far away from a town, red and white face paints are applied to the baby's face in symbolical places (open their eyes, open their ears, open their mouth, open their nose) doing incantations and then spread sand over their face to make them one with Thra and everyone present proceeds to hum the traditional UrRu "ooooohm" chant
