To Whom It May Concern,

Based on the current cycle of the moon, Easter ought to fall on the 7th Sunday from today, which would make tomorrow Ash Wednesday. I do not expect that a great many here share in these traditions, being that we are refugees of countless lands. I wish only to ask if any have attempted to establish the faiths of our home lands here in this new one, if there exist places of worship outside of the temples of Olympia and Wyver.

With sincerest thanks,

U.F.

No churches. The places where people would have you kneel while they smear things on your face tend to pay worship to the Olympian Gods.

But I'm sure people still pray, to whoever they hope is listening.

[His less-than-pure implications go right over this old man's head, thankfully...] Indeed, one needn't have a church in order to pray. I was curious nonetheless. There is comfort perhaps in tradition.

That's what my boyfriend used to tell me while he tried to remember the menorah blessing before sitting down to a bacon sandwich. There's this whole song about it, too - I don't suppose you know Fiddler?

Catholic or Protestant?

[If he aims to rile Jean Valjean, he shall have to try harder.] I do not frequent the opera, I am sorry to say. Catholic. Why do you ask?

[He does not aim to rile Jean Valjean, he just has a habit of modern reference it may take Jean Valjean a while to get used to.]

No? All I ask is for this place to send me one person with an interest in musical theatre. But again, today is not my day.

Because I can see if I know anybody. There are enough people from our earth here, if strange and scattered versions of it. You might find a congregation.

[Ash Wednesday seems too specific a reference for Jean to be from anywhere else.]

Are there no theaters or opera houses in this city? There I'm sure you shall find no shortage of those who share in your interests. It is kind of you to offer. I am no priest, but merely a humble servant of the Lord, and so I do not know what I would do with a congregation. Yet to know others of my faith would be of some comfort.
