-===Translations===*'''das Schlachtfest''' - "The Slaughter Festival" is the German term for the ritual slaughter of an animal, usually followed by a feast. This tradition is still practiced in some regions of Germany, with a pig being the most common animal slaughtered. The Schlachtfest is traditionally a low-waste affair - every part of the animal is used and turned into roasts, bacon, sausages, soup, soap, and more. When inns held a Schlachtfest, they alerted passersby by hanging a pig bladder outside. [http://www.dvhh.org/heritage/traditions/schlachtfest~Kopp.htm]

 *'''Laus Deo''' - Latin for "praise be to God." This phrase is inscribed on the east side of the cap of the Washington Memorial in Washington, D.C. It is also the title of a poem composed by John Greenleaf Whittier celebrating the abolishment of slavery in January 1865. This phrase is frequently used in May Day ads including [[10/25/17]] and [[4/29/05]].

 *'''Boudin du Béarn''' - Béarnais sausage. A French regional variation on black pudding, made with pork blood, fat, and offal.

	For me, this ad has a more upbeat and positive tone than most and I wonder if that's a reaction to our current state. "There is hope for us all," "Laus deo!", the celebratory banquet, "we have just begun." This might even be the first May Day ad with a designated soundtrack.

		+
		+	There's also the theme of milestones being reached in the pursuit of new beginnings - a database being prepared, CP-1 acheiving self-sufficiency, work beginning on the successor to The Throne of The Third Heaven, newly harvested pigs, fresh sausage.
		+
		+	The locations could also be interpreted hopefully - brothers might temporarily be quarantined in the Old Burial Ground, but preparations are still on for the Summer Tour and celebrations in the banqueting hall are around the corner.
		+
		+	I'll add more thoughts on clues and overarching meaning soon.
		+
		+	Orate pro nobis.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat is not publishing a print or full digital edition, so even the May Day ad could not inhabit its normal public venue.		This ad comes at a very strange time in the world.
