Our Lady of Fatima

Feast day: May 13

May 13th, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to 3 Portuguese children in the small town of Fatima. She appeared six times and identified Herself as “Our Lady of the Rosary”, asking that they pray the rosary daily for the conversion of sinners. Mary also spoke of observing first Saturdays, devotion to her Immaculate Heart and the conversion of Russia. During the final apparition, the dance of the sun took place in front of 70,000 people.

So, I saw a post from a while ago from you guys asking about Alastor’s human life and oh boy did that open a can of worms, so I am sorry for what I am about to do.

First things first History out of the way, the term serial killer was not coined until 1974 and wasn’t used regularly until then. Tho there was literary use of the word it being used as an official term didn’t really happen until the 70s. As such Al probably evaded police capture and most likely was never caught simply cause a serial killer wasn’t a thing perse. That the light version at least.

Now Al is fascinating simply because he doesn’t follow the norms but that ok. So, Al most likely had an abusive parent in his childhood, most likely his father due to how he treats woman vs men. He was close to his mom (canon according to Vivz). He was most likely bullied in school (if he even went but I like to think he did) both due to him being mixed raced in a time he grew up in and that he has a lack of empathy, kids can sense something off way more than adults. So, dude didn’t get a break. I think that Al probably killed his father around the ages of 12 to 16 and that was his first kill. However, his killing didn’t take off until he was either early 20s or late teens. Depending on his birth year he most likely would’ve drafted into WWI when America entered it in 1917. The war ended in 1918. I like to think he was on the radio communications and that’s where his love for radio fully developed.

After the war Al was in the cities and worked in the radio industry. He later returned to Louisiana and continued killing there. I believe that Al went after men who reminded him of his father (cause most Serial Killers will kill people who remind them of their first kill or a parent). Aka abusive assholes and most likely racist ones at that. I see Alastor stabbing them and then feeding them to the gators in Louisiana or just leaving them in an alley way while he was in the city. He probably left the city cause the police were getting too close. I want his mom to either have A. Died when Al was younger, like his father killed her and then he killed his father in which case Al would’ve been 16 when he killed his first person or B. still alive when Al was killed cause that’s heartbreaking and in which case Al was around 12 or 13 when he killed his father.

Al would’ve been alive when the great depression started and would’ve died long before the end of said depression during that time, he would’ve been more frugal, this was where I put the cannibalism in, but I believe Vivz retconned that but that’s where I would put it. I’m saying he was a more ambitious kill and had upwards of 40 kills under his belt and would’ve had more if he didn’t. I don’t think he would’ve ever gotten caught (no bodies) unless he got caught literally red handed but then I see him getting a lighter sentence. I don’t think he would’ve bragged about his kills or confessed about them because he didn’t see what he did as wrong and more of a chore like taking out the trash. I think Al died in his early 30s I really like the number 32. He never had a wife or children and that caused some issues but not enough to be a problem. He was relatively popular and had a few uhm enthusiastic fans Vox like fans. Which is why he isn’t too bothered by Vox because he’s used to it. No other family besides his ma due to his father’s family disowning his father because he got Al’s ma pregnant. Al’s ma’s parents just aren’t in the picture.

Anyway, yeah that’s most of what I got! Apologies again but can of worms lol the history was mostly from a brief Google search so may not be 100% accurate.

👀 no we fuckin love this shit

Edith Finch Timeline

So I'm still organizing my theories (honestly they're more like a list of unanswered questions than a coherent theory right now) but I think my timeline is pretty much complete now that I've had a chance to go back through the pet cemetery and add all those in.

I do some wild speculating about Odin here that has no canon basis, just spinning ideas.

Things to notice- Just how many deaths happen on or very near birthdays. Not always the birthday of the person who dies and not every time, but suspiciously often.

The pets almost seem to fill in the years when no one human died? Like everything in this game it's nothing definitive enough to base a solid theory on, but it is odd.

TIMELINE

1439 - Earliest possible beginning of the Finch Family Curse based on the Odin viewmaster reel, as this is 500 years prior to the invention of the first viewmaster.

1445 - If the Odin viewmaster is the Model E made in 1955 (which I think it is), this is the start of the curse instead. Not much is happening in Norway during this period, but Vlad the Impaler was at the top of his game this year?

~About 7 generations of Finches dying horribly happens here.~

1880 - Odin is born. At some point between now and his death he writes "The Mysteries of Death and the Thereafter" and "Joining the Great Majority" which both appear to be books about the afterlife.

1896 - Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration begins with the Belgian Antarctic Expedition and won't end till after WWI. Expeditions are marked by depression, starvation, insanity and scurvy. Many famous expeditions are made by Norwegian teams. Odin is 16.

1911 - A Norwegian expedition is first to reach the South Pole. The British Scott expedition chasing the same goal are lost. Odin is 31.

28 July 1914 - WWI begins, Odin is 34. Norway, "The Neutral Ally", remains neutral on the war but due to economic pressure from Britain commits its merchant marine fleet (one of the largest in the world) to Britain's service. Half the fleet is sunk and 2000 seamen are killed. If Odin was a sailor, he likely served. Alternatively, he may have been one of the wealthy merchants who profited greatly during the war. He clearly has a great deal of money to burn by 1937.

June 17 1915 - Sven is born.

April 8, 1917 - Edie is born.

1935 - At some point between now and Dec 1937, Edie and Sven marry and Sven takes Edith's last name.

1936 - Ingeborg and her newborn Johann Finch die in an unknown manner. Odin is 56, Edie is 19, Sven is 17.

Jan 7 1937 - Odin sets sail for Washington.

Dec 1937 - Arrival on Orcas Island, death of Odin at 57. Molly is born, on the boat? In the Old House? Sven and Edie build the cemetery, and then the house.

1938 - Churpy the budgie joins the family.

1939 - Invention of the viewmaster, earliest point the Odin story could have been recorded.

Sep 1939 - Sep 1945 - WWII. Sven was 24, and may have served or been drafted.

1940 - Burpy the house finch joins the family.

1941 - Churpy dies.

1947 - Christopher the goldfish joins the family.

Oct 31 1947 - Halloween Baby Barbara

Sometime between 1937 and 1947 - Molly's unnamed gerbil joins the family.

Dec 13 1947 - Molly dies of apparent poisoning after eating mistletoe berries, on or very near her 10th bday. She relates hallucinating having become several animals, most notably a cat. Christopher the fish dies shortly after. The fate of her unnamed gerbil is unrecorded, as none of the unattributed headstones are of the right age, but presumably it dies eventually.

1948 - Burpy dies at 8.

April 25 1950 - Sam and Calvin are born.

Aug 26 1952 - Walter is born.

1952 - Lurpy the Cockatiel joins the family.

1955 - Viewmaster Model E released- If this is the one used for Odin's story, that puts the beginning of the curse at 1455.

1956 - Lucy the dog joins the family.

1959 - Bailey the (???) joins the family.

Oct 31 1960 - Barbara dies, allegedly murdered, on her 16th bday. Her boyfriend Rick disappears the same night. The version of her death shared in the game is notably extremely unreliable and raises numerous questions. Rick is seen in a leg cast using crutches. Walter is 8, Sam and Calvin are 10 and notably absent from reported events.

Sept 23 1961 - Calvin dies at 11 falling from a cliff. He is seen wearing a weathered and heavily autographed leg cast. His model shows him with a black eye and several cuts.

1962 - Zoe the (???) joins the family.

1963 - Lurpy dies at 11. (Cockatiels have a life expectancy of 20-25 years)

Aug 26 1964 - Sven dies on Walter's 12th bday, while making a dragon shaped slide. He's 49.

1968 - Walter enters the bunker. He's 16. Durpy the Dove joins the family.

May 7 1968 - Dawn is born.

1969 - Lucy the dog dies.

June 20 1969 - Gus is born.

1970 - Zoe dies

1971 - Purply the Budgie joins the family.

1974 - Coco the (???) joins the family.

Jan 12 1976 - Gregory is born

Dec 7 1977 - Kay files for divorce after arguing with Sam about the curse.

Dec 19 1977 - Gregory drowns in the bath a month before his 2nd bday

July 16 1983 - Sam dies, kicked off a cliff by a deer. Dawn is 15.

1984 - Bob dies at 4.

1985 - Daisy the (???) joins the family.

1986-87 Dawn goes to India, meets Sanjay.

1988 - Shadow the cat dies.

Dec 27 1988 - Lewis is born. Furpy joins the family. Tucker the (???) joins the family

1989 - Oliver the rabbit dies.

1991 - Rob dies at 10. Furpy dies.

1992 - Zurpy the Owl joins the family.

May 19 1992 - Milton is born.

1993 - Charlie the cat joins the family. Daisy dies.

1994 - Durpy Jr the Dove joins the family.

1995 - Zurpy dies at 3. Schatzi the (???) joins the family.

Feb 14 1999 - Valentine's Baby Edith. Lowest tide in a thousand years allegedly allows Edie to access the Old House. At some point between now and Nov 2010, three unnamed gerbils join the family, and then die.

Feb 22 2002 - Sanjay dies in an earthquake, eight days after Edith's 3rd bday, Dawn and children return to Finch House. Dawn writes "To Teach and To Learn" at some point in the next few years. At some point between now and 2010, Dawn probably finds a stray cat and names it Molly.

Oct 23 2003 - Milton disappears.

Late 2003 to Early 2004 - Dawn searches for Milton, eventually gives up and seals the rooms for unknown reasons.

March 31 2005 - Walter leaves the bunker and dies, allegedly hit by a train. There are several strange inconsistencies surrounding the circumstances of his death.

2006 - Durpy Jr dies at 12.

2009 - Schatzi dies

Nov 21 2010 - Lewis dies of apparent suicide one month before his 22nd bday.

Nov 28 2010 - A week after Lewis's death, Dawn informs Edie they are leaving the house. After Edie attempts to give Edith a book containing a story about their family which Dawn violently rips away, Dawn flees the house with Edith immediately, leaving Edie and all her belongings behind.

(Molly the cat is not mentioned in regards to the move, so she may have died by this point, but she is not listed in the graveyard, so it's possible she was simply left behind. There is a taxidermy calico in Sam's room, but Sam was dead before Molly could reasonably have joined the family, so this is unlikely to be her. A cat is seen outside human Molly's room in 2016, which may prove she's still alive- but she'd be around 14 years old. An unlikely age for a cat abandoned outdoors for 7 years.)

Nov 29 2010 - Edie is found dead by nursing care workers, and may have killed herself by combining alcohol with her medication, intentionally or otherwise. She's 93, the only member of her family to live longer than her father, who died at 57.

Dec 5 2010 - The date on Edie's tombstone, a week after when she supposedly died.

May (around the 12-18th?) 2016 - Edith becomes pregnant.

Oct 12 2016 - Dawn dies of a chronic illness at 48. Edith is 16 and about 6 months pregnant.

Oct 13 - 19 2016 - Edith returns to the Finch House at 22 weeks pregnant.

Jan 18 2017 - Edith dies in childbirth a month before her 18th bday. Christopher is born (possibly named for Molly's goldfish?).

2027? - At some point in the future, a young Christopher returns to the house, which has changed since the last time it was seen. He is wearing a cast.

A note on unrecorded pets- There are additionally 5 (possibly 6?) unmarked pet graves in the cemetery. One of the blank stones presumably belongs to Rob the bearded dragon, who has a memorial in Edie's room but no gravestone. One is marked as a fish and another is a rabbit, with no names or dates. One is a knocked over and unreadable sign of the same kind used for the birds, indicating it may be an otherwise unrecorded bird. There is also a statue of a frog- the knocked over sign may instead refer to an unrecorded pet frog, or the frog statue might be a separate gravestone, or simply a decoration. This leaves one blank headstone with no indication of what might lie beneath it. Let's assume it's a mass grave for gerbils.

Like it or not, the one who saved and modernized the monarchy was King George V, not king Edward VII, and this is an undisputed fact that all historians would agree with. After all, It was during the reign of King George V that 13 European Monarchies crumbled to the ground while the british monarchy survived. And it survived because of George V, because of his leadership, his modern statesmanship, his will to embrace and encourage changes, his popularity and the respect that his nation had for him, while he led his country to victory during WW1. He was the FIRST Monarch that brought monarchy close to people, hence why he was nicknamed the People's Monarch or the Citizen Monarch. George reigned during the most difficult times in the history of monarchy and of mankind, but he managed to save his monarchy and to modernize it, setting the path for a Constitutional Modern Monarch*. Your bias cannot change it, because facts dont give a damn about your opinions. A pity that you cannot uplift Edward VII without bringing George down. George wasnt dull, he was quite the character. He was genuine, funny, reproachable, a lover of books and cinema, and most importantly he was a SERIOUS LEADER, who acted exactly as a modern head of state is suppsed to act. Oh and he was a FAITHFUL Husband, he was devoted to his wife and loyal to her throughout their entire marriage. Something that can never be said of Edward VII who was unfaithful and over-indulgent in everything ( Im sure his mistresses would have preferred Handsome George though). If being faithful and family-oriented makes a man dull, than give me dull everyday. Queen Alexandra would've been happy to have married a man like George who never embarrassed and humiliated his wife

Oh my, where does this come from? lmao. Tbh, I deserve this kind of message when it's about Wilhelm. I'm totally biased regarding this rascally young fop (Alexander III said it first!). Badmouthing him is one of my favourite pastime. But George, come on! I never been too harsh with him? EXCEPT, perhaps, when it comes down to the Romanovs, but what can I say? When you don't have a backbone, you really don't…

Yet, I'm a tad puzzled by your message because we are talking about George V right? The one who in April 1905 hadn't seen his children for three months. The one who used to shout at his second son "Get it out" when the poor soul was suffering from stammer. The one who in 1917, while on a stroll in the grounds of Sandringham complained to Nora Wigram that his children always avoided him. Nora retelling this story in one of her letters to her parents said how Mary, David and Bertie became "quite cheerful & entirely flippant, writing their names in the snow" when George and Mary had gone home on said stroll. However, do you know who was ACTUALLY a good father? his cousin *whispering* Nicky.

Faithful yes but let me remind you that their marriage was far from smooth sailing. They lived seperately for months on end. You also must have forgotten the countless letters from George trying to apologise for shutting down, being rude or cold towards May. + May's letters complaining on how he would shut her out. The man was unable to articulate his feelings which led to endless misunderstanding. May who once wrote to George while in Paris : "I quite understand about yr not wishing to come to Paris & am not angry, I only thought it wd be nice change as I find life in general very dull- unless one has a change sometimes." She had wanted him to join her but had received a rebuff instead. May who wrote to his brother in 1900 while she was stuck in the gloomy York Cottage: "It is so dull here & I feel very low & depressed tho' Im pretty well on the whole" (alright she was pregnant at that time, but guess where George was?… out shooting birds).

Led his country to victory during WW1? Hmmm, you really mean George V who was described in 1918 by the Viscount Esher in those terms: "he seems virtually a recluse, steadily devoting himself to good purposes and little works of a good kind, but with not conspicuousness, no assertiveness of the King's position." / "making himself a nonentity" ? While May wrote on 19 november 1916 to her son David about the hospital visits: "They are "assomant" (tiresome) & I dislike them more than words can describe!" and then proceeded to explain how much she enjoyed her shopping trips at Goode's.

I'm teasing because OF COURSE I think George V was a good ruler and perhaps he was the kind of ruler the country needed at that time. He was a great arbitrator and was able to adapt and change despite having conservative views and being very much uneducated. How he dealt with the Irish question is a stellar example! He was an ordinary man who disliked society and suffered from bouts of depression. There is a sentence that struck me in Ridley's book which in my opinion sums up George : "He was a man of disconnected feelings".

I could write PAGES about Bertie's shortcomings and how his shenanigans damaged the monarchy. Yet he was a gifted ruler, very much in tune with his time.

So I guess anon, it comes down to... preference. If you are more into shooting birds and collecting stamps, you do you! I, on the contrary, have a soft spot for cosmopolitan kings with a string of scandals.

Now if you'd excuse me, I'm off painting the town red with Bertie!

#don’t come after me #with those rose-colored glasses #i'll show you the receips #and give you a reality check 😗#i do hope #this anon is a troll #because you can't go about life #being so short-sighted #& i'm sorry but #not even ridley's EXCELLENT bio on george #could change my mind #georgie was a dull man #actually my last words will be #le roi est mort vive la république #because there is no way #i'm starting a debate on which king saved the monarchy #*even though Bertie did hehe*

Deren died in 1961, at the age of 44, from a brain hemorrhage brought on by extreme malnutrition.

Her condition may have also been weakened by her long-term dependence on amphetamines and sleeping pills prescribed by Max Jacobson, a doctor and member of the arts scene, notorious for his liberal prescription of drugs, who later became famous as one of President John F. Kennedy's physicians.

Her ashes were scattered in Japan at Mount Fuji.

Maya Deren (born Eleonora Derenkovskaya, Ukrainian: Елеоно́ра Деренко́вська; May 12 [O.S. April 29] 1917 – October 13, 1961) was a Ukrainian-born (then part of the Russian Empire, now independent Ukraine) American experimental filmmaker and important part of the avant-garde in the 1940s and 1950s. Deren was also a choreographer, dancer, film theorist, poet, lecturer, writer, and photographer. via Wikipedia

Introduction and disclaimer!

Hi, hey, hello!

I thought I would do a little introduction and a disclamer post for you who have stumbled upon this tumblr page.

I made this tumblr to share my version of the ultimate decades challenge. I don't always follow the rules and also some of the historical events are going to play off little bit differently. The main thing is, that I'm trying to represet the history of Finland, or the area that would later be called Finland (Finland didn't exist as a country until 1917). Same things that affected United States, or some other country, may not have affected the area of Finland the same way. But of course as in any other country, in Finland there have been territorial differences in historical events.

Also

I am not by any means a historian. I have done research of course and I am interested in history, but I won't be as accurate as I wish I would be. I don't have all the knowledge and I will be making mistakes (so do not take this as a history lesson, kids). And the Sims 4 is a game after all, so the complete accuracy wouldn't even be possible. So I am sorry about that.

Lastly

I am playing out historical events, so this legacy is rated PG-13. The stories have and will consist issues like gender, childbirth, death, war, hunger, illness, injuries, religion, class, inequality, sexuality, sexism, alcohol, drugs and smoking. If any of these themes triggers you or you find them uncomfortable, please beware. I'm not here to offend anyone or to make anyone feel uneasy. I'm just here to tell a story and learn a thing or two about history.

Hopefully you will enjoy this legacy!

Sofi

Werner Voss - Part 1

Werner Voss - one of the fan favorites. Regrettably, at the age of 20, his life was already over, but he went out with a bang.

This article serves to give an overview of his life and remember an exceptional human who, like so many others, was caught up in a situation he had no control over and paid for it with his life.

Werner Voss was born on 13 April 1897 in Krefeld, German Empire. He came from an affluent family, his father owning a cloth dying business.

Voss had two brothers and for a long time it was thought he also had two sisters. As it turned out, however, the two girls who often appear in family pictures and are rumored to have charmed Manfred von Richthofen were Voss's cousins.

In early 1914, with tensions already running high across Europe, Voss joined the Ersatz Eskadron 2 of the Westfälische Husaren-Regiment Nr. 11. When the Great War broke out a few months later, Voss was just 17 years old but immediately joined active service in November 1914. Hussars are cavalrymen, but the use of cavalry soon died out as the war shifted towards the trench warfare we all are familiar with.

Young Voss was sent to the Eastern Front where he fought during the war's first winter. In May 1915, he earned his first decoration, the Iron Cross 2nd Class, and was promoted to Unteroffizier.

Not being all that enthusiastic about sitting in mud all day, Voss transferred to the Air Service. From September 1915 until February 1916 he trained as a pilot near his hometown. In March, he was posted to Kampfstaffel 20 as an observer. From then on his duty involved flying over the Verdun area, dropping bombs on enemy artillery positions and photographing the area.

After the hell of Verdun, Voss got no reprieve as he was sent to the Somme to fight off the British offensive.

After receiving his pilot badge, Voss transferred to the single-seat pilot’s training school. In November 1916, he was officially posted to the Königliche Preußische Jagdstaffel Nr. 2. Yes, the one of the famed Oswald Boelcke. Another notable member of this Jasta: Manfred von Richthofen. But by November, Boelcke was already dead and morale was low. Boelcke’s successor, Stefan Kirmair, may have chosen Voss, but it is also possible that Boelcke himself mentioned wanting Voss as both were stationed at the Verdun Front at the same time and may have come into contact there. A signed portrait of Boelcke in Voss’s possession hints that they did know each other personally. Voss shot down his first victory one day after arriving at Jasta 2, marking November 1916 as the start of an exceptional career.

Most people know of the friendship between Werner Voss and Manfred von Richthofen as documented by pictures of them together visiting Voss’s family. This friendship started in Jasta Boelcke with MvR teaching Voss how things were done there. Rumored rivalry between the two talented pilots seems to be pure gossip. Both men may have humorously competed with each other for higher victory scores, but they both shared the same goals. They complimented each other in that MvR was a great leader but no exceptionally great pilot, while Voss was a great pilot but no great leader.

MvR was a guest of the Voss family in Krefeld on multiple occasions, with Richthofen also having permission to use the family's hunting lodge in the Black Forest. Even after Voss’s death, MvR kept contact with the family.

Voss stayed with Jasta 2 during the infamous Bloody April, a time which was indeed very bloody for the men of the British air service. They lost more aircrews during April 1917 than at any other time during the war. By April, Voss had 25 victories under his belt. On April 8th, he finally received the coveted Orden Pour le Mérite, Germany's highest military award. All that even before he turned 20.

As he was on leave, Voss didn't actually participate all that much during Bloody April. Considering his many victories, it would be interesting to know how many more he would have gotten, had he fought during this time as well.

Our Lady of Fatima Feast day: May 13

May 13th, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to 3 Portuguese children in the small town of Fatima. She appeared six times and identified Herself as “Our Lady of the Rosary”, asking that they pray the rosary daily for the conversion of sinners. Mary also spoke of observing first Saturdays, devotion to her Immaculate Heart and the conversion of Russia. During the final apparition, the dance of the sun took place in front of 70,000 people.

It’s Complicated, My Darling: Character Introductions

Of course, we all know who our beloved Nick Folio is but in this universe, he is not the drummer of bad omens; Folio is a detective in 1941. Besides Folio, every character in this story is entirely fictional, so when you see mentions of his “family” in this story, they are NOT his real family. There will be quite a lot of names mentioned and new characters will be introduced throughout, so I thought I’d make a character profile for each of them. I will make another one as the story progresses but for now, meet the characters of “It’s Complicated, My Darling” so far!

For people who want to know what’s going on in Palestine, a workup of links across various sources detailing the historical context (which is why some links predate the NOW part of the struggle) between Palestine and Israel. I tried to be as varied as possible with collecting information with some measure of 'good faith' education, but like. My biases are up front, and real, and raw. I'm not gonna shit anybody about where I fall. So take that in mind as much or as little as you like when looking at the links.

The Genocide Education Project: Ten Stages of Genocide

What Israel is doing to Palestine? Genocide. There is no right to self defense when you are not only using internationally banned weaponry to systemically wipe a people off a land (while claiming to care about the hostages. Who are also being bombed with the civilians in these attack mind you), but have spent decades in practice of settler colonialism and racial apartheid, limiting the airspace and poisoning land because it isn’t ‘yours’. Argue with the fucking wall.

On the photographs: top - Alexandra Feodorovna in her wheel chair outside in the vegetable garden, embroidering, Tsarskoe Selo, April 1917; bottom: Nicolas II with his 'team' working in the vegetable garden in Tsarskoe Selo, spring 1917

'The ‘absence’ of Alexandra Feodorovna

One of the striking observations I made while studying the photographs of the Family for the period of March-July 1917 was the obvious and clear absence of Alexandra Feodorovna on them. Those couple of photographs where she did appear picture her motionless, a sort of frozen. She was not only absent from the photographs and took very little part in the outside activities but she also was absent from her own diary. In the period of March-July 1917, she made just a handful of diary entries on the following dates:

March 1917, Tsarskoe Selo

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 21, 22, 23, 27

April 1917, Tsarskoe Selo

1, 2, 8, 11, 12, 14, 15, 18, 23, 29, 30

May 1917, Tsarskoe Selo

6, 25, 26

June 1917, Tsarskoe Selo

3, 9, 10, 20

July 1917, Tsarskoe Selo

11, 13, 25, 29, 30, 31

The first time Alexandra Feodorovna made an appearance in ‘public’, e.g. went outside and sat in the garden was on the 11 of April. This occasion found a reflection in the diary entry of Nicolas II: ‘In the afternoon, Alix finally went for a walk with us. Nagorny pushed her in a wheel chair. She watched us work with the ice.’ In her own dairy, Alexandra Feodorovna described her appearance as follows: ‘In my wheel chair [was] in the garden with the others who were working with ice.’ [...] - Seraphima Bogomolova
