 * Religion Portal by Josh**

Here's a brand new portal by Josh....the Religion Portal. In Specialists, we have to create Maps/Flags, Biographies, Timelines, Location/Climate, and Orgin of the Name stuff. Well, now with the new projects, I've decided to release a new page specially for the new religion we have to create. Here you'll find all the information you need about the religion we have to create. Related Pages: Maps and Flags Portal Click here to return to my main portal Click here to return to the Homepage for Bootfish Name of Religion: Savurannism Founder or Important Figure: Bartemeus Savuranni, founder of Savurannism Two main facts about Bartemeus: 1. He was born on July 15, 1886 in the city of Bootfish, and died on December 21, 1968 in Bootfish City as well. He is now buried at the Savuranni Memorial Hospital in Bootfish City. 2. Bartemeus spent one and a half years finding and melting down sliver, and molding them into a pure silver monkey statue with two ruby eyes embedded into them and worshiped it as a god. The silver monkey is a statue seen in every Savuranni Shrine (see below) except it is usually made out of regular metal and is assmbled from an original amount of three pieces. Place of Worship: Savuranni Shrine Description: 1. The shrine is usually made out of four gazebos up the upper level of the shrine, the altar, where believers pray, surronded by a garden. The gazebos were placed in a square shape, and a winding spiral stairwell usually connected the garden to the altar. 2. An assembled three-piece silver monkey statue would stand on a pedestal on the front of the altar room, usually made of metal, but some shrines used copper and painted it silver. The pedestal encircled by bars, and this was the place where the most sunlight came through. The altar was a completely enclosed room where red light radiated out from. Major Beliefs: 1. Each believer would become one of the Silver Monkey's assistants after their departure. 2. Each believer that had believed in Savurannism for at least 70 years straight, s/he would become a ruler of the Silver Monkey's kingdom after their departure. Basic Laws: 1. Each believer should pray at a Savuranni Shrine for at least 60 minutes a week at minimum. 2. Each believer should keep a small altar with a red light at their house with a styrofoam or a better quality Silver Monkey statue on it, along with two Golden Idols. Holdiays/Festivals: Silver Monkey Day (18 June), Bartemeus' Birthday (15th July) SIlver Monkey Day is a countrywide public holdiay in Bootfish. Certain schools and companies may consider Bartemeus' Birthday a public holiday, others may not. On both days, believrs should go to a Savuranni Shrine and pray for 30-45 minutes minimum. And for a bonus, here's a short biography on Bartemeus: Bartemeus Savuranni was born in the city of Bootfish on July 15, 1886. He spent his early life in Bootfish, Tasmania and New Zealand. He moved back to Bootfish in 1902. At an age of 17, he returned to New Zealand to find a job. Unsuccesful, he went back to Bootfish and started a job as a butcher at the local store in Bootfish at an age of 18. When Bartemeus was 20, he quit his butcher job and decided to uncover an old Goldrush Town near Bootfish, which later became Bootfish's Goldfish Island Resort. He dug up silver and melted it down into a silver monkey statue. He embedded two ruby eyes into the face, and worshiped it as a god. Soon, several people followed him. A street was named in Bartemeus' honor. In 1915, Bartemeus constructed the first Savuranni Shrine on Bartemeus Street, his street, for the growing population of 654 believers. A second shrine was built in the Commercial District of Bootfish in 1923. By 1924, there was a population of 986 believers. In 1930, two more shrines were constructed in Bootfish, increasing the population of believers to 1129 people. The fifth shrine was built on Bartemeus Street and opened on Silver Monkey Day, 1935. When Bartemeus was 59, he constructed his last shrine in the Chinatown area of Bootfish. Bartemeus died peacefully on 21 December 1968. He is now known in Bootfish for the founder of their secondary religion.
