Grand Festivals
The Congregation of the Ascended's four primary festivals mark the beginning of each season and are glad times where families gather to feast and celebrate. The Hazatien Calendar kicks off with Eterri, a Fertility festival in the Spring; followed by Essocilla, the Summer Pilgrimage; then Inoryi, an autumnal Harvest festival; and finally Mindal, a time in Winter for remembering the dearly departed.
