The Three sisters holy days
Holy Days
Two holy days unify the three faiths of the Sisters. The first is celebrated early in the year. Called Waking Day, it commemorates the waking of the Three Sisters by the riverbanks, their eventual rejection of evil, and their departure. Waking Day is observed in silent contemplation, followed by a children’s morality play that portrays the Waking and one tale of the Journey to the East. These skits don’t mention the Three Brothers at all, and portray evil as a whisper urging the Sisters to argue until after a dream, they work together to escape the river valley. Later in the year, the faithful observe the Ascension, remembering the day the Sisters were embraced by Heaven and made Lords of Good. On the Ascension, the faithful make many sacrifices to the Sister they worship, or all three. They pray for forgiveness and guidance. In the evening, adults reenact several stories from the Journey to the East, and finally the Meeting, when the Three Companions met the Sisters.
