The Chant

In the latest chapter (Inquisition Impergium) Stig “The Future Black Shuck” is seen while fighting the Leopoldites, and starts recitino a [Viking War Chant].
Does anyone know the words he’s singing and their approximate meaning?

Alessandro Manzoni’s “The Betrothed”

This could be the focus of a series of summaries.
You might be wondering: what’s so interesting about a XIX century doorstopper of a book about a couple trying to get married?
I’m glad you asked, dear viewer.
We have:
Near maniacal research for historical accuracy.
Interesting characters with inner turmoils.
Discussions of Church doctrine.
Memes that shaped the modern Italian language (not making this up).
Revolution.
Covid-19 before it was cool.
Social commentary on then-actual topics, like the Unification of Italy.
Friar Cristoforo. He’s not a topic, he’s just a very cool character.

It’s a lot. And actually pretty good, if you survive the narrator (IYKYK).

Future festivities

I’m working on a story set in the 22nd century in a post-apocalyptic New York. Since it revolves around a group of catholic monster hunters, I tought to incorporate some of the most important feast days, but the placement of Easter and the following celebrations (such as Pentecost or Corpus Domini) are giving me a bit of a headache, since it changes with the lunar phases.
I would like to ask if anyone knows of a site or tool that could help in this endeavor. For reference, the years in question are 2119-2120.
Thank you for your time.
