Valentines Day Ecards

EXAMINER.COM: TWILIGHT FANS, BE SURE TO WEAR YOUR RED ON THURSDAY FOR ROB PATTINSON AND EDWARD CULLEN

Posted March 18th, 2009 By: Evie 50 Comments »

The Examiner has an article reminding us about the significance of tomorrow, and why you need to wear red!

 
In Stephenie Meyer’s New Moon, March 19th was a date of some significance – St. Marcus Day, the day when St. Marcus supposedly rid the Italian city of Volterra of all vampires (though secretly allowed for the Volturi vampires to hide out in the city without curiosity). The town of Volterra teemed with red as Bella and Alice raced through the streets to get to the would-be self-sacrificing Edward Cullen.

In honor of this intricate but important detail to the New Moon novel that we fan would like to see on screen, and to show your support for a faithful book-to-film translation of New Moon by Chris Weitz (one which would have Robert Pattinson amidst a sea of garnet and red celebrants of St. Marcus Day, with Kristen Stewart and Ashley Greene, as Bella Swan and Alice Cullen, fighting against this sea of red to make it to Edward before the clock strikes twelve) wear something red this Thursday, March 19th.

Wear your red on Thursday and send your photos to thetwilightexaminer@gmail.com! Also, please comment below and let us know whether you plan to participate! Perhaps it will send the message across to our New Moon director Chris Weitz as well as our lovely cast and crew.

(Thanks Em!)

I love this idea! What a cool thing to remember, and how fun to celebrate. I will for sure be wearing red tomorrow.

What do you say TAers? Will you wear red tomorrow in honor of St. Marcus Day, Edward and our love of ‘New Moon’?

EDIT: If you’d like to send us your photos, email them to dawnnoelle@twilightersanonymous.com and we will put them in our gallery. Thanks!

    Doesn’t wearing red mean you want to rid the vampires??? We want to do that why?????????

  • want2Binforks

    Didn’t see this until Thurs a.m. but guess what color I picked out this morning? RED. So funny, I must have a sixth sense.

    Also, just got back from Walmart, they were playing the bonus features in the store but had not yet set up the party section. I was hoping to get a sneak peek :)

  • Gwen

    Besides bumper stickers , this is one way for us twihards to identify ourselves to each other on at least one day a year!
