To shout from the housetops/rooftops: To publicize something loudly and proudly. Though this phrase predates electronic forms of communication (think Twitter before Twitter existed), it carries the same intent: making sure everyone knows your news.
🔸 Biblical Echo: Inspired by a passage from the Bible (Luke 12:3), where Jesus tells his disciples to spread the word of God. Now, believe it or not, we just spread the word about that incredible holiday deal we found online or an engagement ring that’s more sparkly than a vampire in daylight!
