Instead of useful Pilgrim... «Удушье»
chlrm7 сентября 2021Instead of useful Pilgrim crap, I tell them how their playground game ring-around-a-rosy is based on the bubonic plague of 1665. The Black Death gave people hard, swollen, black spots they called "plague roses," or buboes, surrounded by a pale ring. Hence "bubonic." Infected people were locked inside their houses to die. In six months, a hundred thousand people were buried in the huge mass graves. The "pocket full of posies" was what people of London carried so they wouldn't smell the corpses.
