0 Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I see an obvious Easter theme, which makes me question that it has anything at all to do with Easter. (Darn you Shakee, you've made me a cynic.) Easter Lilly will be my first official incorrect guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Shakeepuddn Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Actually the answer does have something to do with that but not how you would suspect. Dig into the first stanza and you might just figure it out. If not, more clues elsewhere. Ka-Boom!!! Oh my!

0 Guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 My name is nothing but a jest to mark one week beyond His test Almost Like most. based on the first paragraph of the riddle, I'm trying to figure out what the name of the day around one week after Good Friday is called. There is something called "Divine mercy Sunday" or "Low Sunday", or "Thomas Sunday", or "Quasimodo Sunday" which is the week after Easter. None of these, however, sound like jests. BUT, The Saint who coined this day was "canonized". Pope John Paul II canonized St. Faustina in 2000, making the day more official i guess. am i anywhere near the target?

0 Guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 anything to do with the "Image of Divine Mercy" that Faustina was instructed by Jesus to paint? Or is the answer more related to one of the other names I mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the answer more related to one of the other names I mentioned? After reading your initial thoughts, I don't think it's neccessary to steer you toward or away from anyhting. When you see/get the answer, you'll say "duh!" I suggest you go back and read your first post carefully while re-reading the riddle. That's when the "duh" moment will probably occur.

0 DudleyDude Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Quasimodo My name is nothing but a jest to mark one week beyond His test Almost Like most. - He was found at Notre Dame on Quasimodo Sunday (the 1st Sunday after Easter) and was named after the day. My fingers clenched in fisted show, the ring they bring for all to know Save me. Why me? - He rang the bells but didn't hear them because he was deaf A pall was cast upon this eye, the burden on my shoulders my Worst curse. Few worse. - Huge wart over his left eye and hunch backed I placed her petals in dirty vase and so too others in fine, bright glass That lied. These died. - He tried to prove a point to Esmerelda by putting wilted flowers in a beautiful vase and beautiful flowers in an ugly vase. I don't think she got the point... Then slew the savior loved at first whose love of mine was his one curse To Hell He fell. - Quasimodo murdered Frollo, his former benefactor, for condemning Esmerelda Yes, love is odd and so am I, but great the vision of monstrous eye Demure, So pure, The heart.
