Bloody Mary
I always thought that Bloody Mary was the Mary that can be found in the Koran, the Old and New Testaments and some other relevant religious scriputres by the main religions in the World.
Well, my prediction is wrong. My initial thought was that Bloody Mary, a mixture of vodka and tomato juice, is a peculiar sign of anti-christ, potrayed in the form of a drink rather than in a revoultion or anti-Christ sentiments like being displayed by the Satanic group.
Ok! haha for me. I checked the actual history now..Mary was in fact the Queen of England(1508-I forgot)..An extremely loathed Queen and at a time where Protestant movements were rampant and continous supression suffered by the catholics, England was literally divided into two blocks. MOre importantly, it was the beginning of the creation of the Anglican Church and the fundamentals of Protestant. Civil war broke out, prominently based on religious grounds and such circumstances saw extreme brutatlity, deaths and widespread suffering. Probably more brutal than the word itself, thus the word bloody manifest in the most oblivious manner.
THe Queen not only failed to handle the prevailing religious issues in England, she was also termed headless torsos as no one would ever listen to her. Under her reign, many was sacrificed. It was until the reign of Queen Elizabeth I that religion was given a priority and thus, religious issues are discarded in the utmost tolerance.
No one, can forget Mary, how bloody can she get!!??
