Christmas Cookies - New Translation

[ProVobis]

Quick, somebody needs to provide the 1962 version: Biscocta dulcea pro vobis et pro multis per Festum Nativitatis D.N.J.C.

You mean “biscota”? But a good suggestion, nevertheless. The taste is the same without the translation spin.

Erratum: 2 1/2 chalices sifted many-purpose flour. Although it is intended for all purposes, some people (like celiac sufferers) will deliberately reject it, and so it will only actually be used for many purposes.

Nice!

 

[TheMc]

Not quite. The 1973 version would have to go like this:

Gather diverse ingredients from every corner of the earth. Mix the ingredients with love until the flavors have mellowed and everything is in peace and harmony. Peacefully put the dough in the fridge. Lovingly chill it. Cut the cookies in peace, and then bake them with love. Love. Peace.

(Cookies may be distributed at Berkeley, or at any ashram, anti-Nam rally, or other peaceful coming-together of loving people.)

Chalice is an acceptable translation for the cup. The following is the Clementine Latin Vuglate followed by the Douay Rheims:

Matthew 26:27 Et accipiens calicem gratias egit: et dedit illis, dicens: Bibite ex hoc omnes.
And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this.

Mark 14:23 Et accepto calice, gratias agens dedit eis: et biberunt ex illo omnes.
And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. And they all drank of it.

Luke 22:17 Et accepto calice gratias egit, et dixit: Accipite, et dividite inter vos.
And having taken the chalice, he gave thanks, and said: Take, and divide it among you:

The Baronius Press Roman Missal (1662): Hic est enim Calix Sánguinis mei, novi et ætérni testaménti: Mystérium fídei: qui pro vobis et pro multis effundétur in remissiónem peccatórum.
For this is the Chalice of My Blood of the new and eternal Testament, the Mystery of Faith; which shall be shed for you and for many unto the remission of sins.

[Emphasis mine.]

Ummm… no. Actually, Chalice is an acceptable translation of the latin word “Calix” which means chalice. There’s a different word for cup.

Very clever…:yup:

Do not read if you don’t have a sense of humor:

Christmas Cookie Recipe
(New, Corrected Translation)

Serves: you and many.

Cream these ingredients, that by their comingling you may begin to make the dough:
1 chalice butter, 2/3 chalice sugar

In a similar way, when the butter is consubstantial with the sugar, beat in:
1 egg

Gather these dry ingredients to yourself and combine them, so that you may add them to the dough which you have already begun to make:
2 1/2 chalices sifted all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix the precious dough with your venerable hands.

Into the refrigerator graciously place the dough so that it may be chilled, for the duration of 3 or 4 hours, before the rolling and cutting of the cookies.

When, in the fullness of time, you are ready to bake these spotless cookies, these delicious cookies, these Christmas cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Roll out the dough and, taking up a cookie cutter or stencil of your choosing, fashion the cookies into pleasing forms.

Sprinkle colorful adornments over cookies like the dewfall.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies have just begun to manifest the brownness that is vouchsafed to them by the oven’s heat.

May these cookies be found acceptable in your sight, and be borne to a place of refreshment at your table, there to be served with milk or hot chocolate, or with your spirits.

Merry Christmas!

Awesome!

Chalice is an acceptable translation for the cup. The following is the Clementine Latin Vuglate followed by the Douay Rheims:

From the Belgian beer gift SIL got for Christmas: “Bottle and Chalice Gift Pack”
Said chalice is a Stella Artois stemmed glass.

It was bound to happen.
