Wear Red to Celebrate Edward Cullen

Remember that chapter in New Moon when Alice and Bella are looking for Edward in Italy, before you know, he goes on a sparkling rampage? Well that day was March 19, which was supposedly the day when St. Marcus rid Volterra of all vampires. If you remember, the crowd was honoring this day by wearing red (representing blood), and so the Examiner is now calling for fans to wear red to remind us Twihard fans of Edward’s near-death experience. Here’s the bit about the significance of March 19:

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.

Will you be wearing red?
