Description
ANCIENT ICON DISCOVERED BENEATH CHURCHMarch. 2007
An ancient icon dating from the 13th century, depicting an image of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) has been discovered after being hidden for nearly 800 years. Experts say that a find such as this is sure to astonish the religious world and also help to solidify the place of Pastafarianism amongst other major religions.
The FSM icon was recently discovered by Chris LaMonica, a devout follower of the Pastafarian faith, who claims that he was "lead to the holy location by His Noodly Appendage." Mr. LaMonica has decided not to reveal the exact location of the sacred relic in order to ensure it's protection. However, he has disclosed that it is in an underground room beneath an ancient Christian Church and that "it's really dark and kind of scary without proper lighting." Judging by the actions of Christians in the past, Chris LaMonica feels that if he did reveal the location of the icon, they would surely destroy it, claiming the location and even the existence of such artwork as sacrilege.
The ancient FSM icon was restored by Testing Point Design after months of arduous work. Other sacred discoveries of this nature can be seen at www.TestingPointDesign.com . For more information on FSM visit www.venganza.org

Thank you! Yeah I'm not sure what that makes you. Maybe you should start your own denomination!

Great piece.
Only thing I might change would be to write the text in Latin.
Flying Spaghetti Monster = volatilis preteritus monasteriense
(pasta instead of spaghetti)
And the text in the book would be: in exordium eram vox quod vox eram argh
Got these from a translation site here: [link]

Ha! That is pretty cool. Thanks for the translations. However, I'm wondering if it should be in greek considering the style is of the greek orthodox sort.?

Oh ha! I hadn't noticed that... Yeah, if it's a greek orthodox style I guess that would make a lot more sense than going with the later Latin abridgement.
