Download or read book The Tsar s Happy Occasion written by Russell E. Martin and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tsar's Happy Occasion shows how the vast, ornate affairs that were royal weddings in early modern Russia were choreographed to broadcast powerful images of monarchy and dynasty. Processions and speeches emphasized dynastic continuity and legitimacy. Fertility rites blended Christian and pre-Christian symbols to assure the birth of heirs. Gift exchanges created and affirmed social solidarity among the elite. The bride performed rituals that integrated herself and her family into the inner circle of the court. Using an array of archival sources, Russell E. Martin demonstrates how royal weddings reflected and shaped court politics during a time of dramatic cultural and dynastic change. As Martin shows, the rites of passage in these ceremonies were dazzling displays of monarchical power unlike any other ritual at the Muscovite court. And as dynasties came and went and the political culture evolved, so too did wedding rituals. Martin relates how Peter the Great first mocked, then remade wedding rituals to symbolize and empower his efforts to westernize Russia. After Peter, the two branches of the Romanov dynasty used weddings to solidify their claims to the throne. The Tsar's Happy Occasion offers a sweeping, yet penetrating cultural history of the power of rituals and the rituals of power in early modern Russia.

A lifeless body, carved with strange occult symbols, lies at the center of a mystery that defies logic and reason. As Mara digs deeper, she uncovers a trail of ancient rituals, demonic forces, and a secretive cult known as The Devil’s Greenhouse—one that seeks to unleash unspeakable horrors upon the world. With the help of Hunter Eldritch, a reclusive demonologist, and a priest whose faith has been shaken to its core, Mara must confront her greatest fears. Together, they unravel a conspiracy that reaches back centuries, buried in the shadows of history. As the lines between reality and the supernatural blur, Mara races against time to stop a ritual that could bring about the end of days. But in a world where faith is tested and evil knows no bounds, the cost of failure is unimaginable. With the city—and perhaps the world—on the brink of apocalypse, Mara must decide how far she is willing to go to stop the darkness from consuming everything she holds dear. The Devil's Greenhouse is a gripping tale of suspense, where ancient horrors collide with modern-day heroism, and the fight for humanity’s soul begins.
