🎶All hail Mary!
🎶Lady full of grace,
🎶The child that you bear will save the human race!

🎶Through you the great I Am
🎶Takes on the flesh of man
🎶And He comes to save us from our sin!

(Happy Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and Happy New Year!)

JOKE-OGRAPHY:
1. The internet has a long and storied history of random, unsolicited Christian Sonic fanart. I’m not sure why this is, but as a random, unsolicited Christian myself, I figured it was time I added to that legacy. This cartoon features Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic’s edgy rival) praying the rosary before a shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary. He says “Ave Maria” because that’s the first line of the “Hail Mary” (a popular Catholic prayer) in Latin, but is also a reference to Shadow’s best friend from his tragic backstory: Maria.
2. The words alongside the cartoon are a parody of “All Hail Shadow”, a theme song from the notorious Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off game from 2005. Instead of the original lyrics, I've turned it into a revamped “Hail Mary” prayer, because all things will submit to God.
