As some of you may know, today is National Acadians Day. (I am Acadian.) I figured I would take a minute of my day to share a bit of my culture with my family here at pixies.

Now, let's all rise for our national anthem:

Ave maris stella,
Dei mater alma
Atque semper virgo,
Felix coeli porta.

Sumens illud Ave
Gabrielis ore,
Funda nos in pace,
Mutans nomen Evae.

(Just the first 2 verses are enough, I think )

So if you have Acadian ancestry, and even if you don't, bonne Fête des Acadiens!
