[EVENT] SPRING Opening Post

[Elgee]

In the Northern Hemisphere of Earth, in this year of 2023 AD in the Gregorian Calendar, it is the beginning of Spring.

 

To celebrate this, we here at Dragonmount will be hosting a week-long event (using the 10 day version of a week, as per the Farede Calendar in use by the Westlands). All are welcome to participate.

 

There are many celebrations and events associated with this time (Spring / April / May) here on our Earth, and on the Earth of the Wheel of Time. You can see much more detail in further threads to follow, and also at Wikipedia. As examples, here are a few:

 

Easter is one of the most important festivals in the Christian calendar, celebrated annually to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

 

Passover is a major Jewish holiday that celebrates the Biblical story of the Israelites' escape from slavery in Egypt.

 

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar,] observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer, reflection, and community. A commemoration of Muhammad's first revelation, the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.

 

In the Wheel of Time, Bel Tine, also known as Festival, is the Westlands celebration of spring's arrival.

 

Lanterns feature in several religions, and also in the WoT. For more on this, please proceed to this thread:

 

Important note: This event is hosted by the White Tower & Warders Social Group / Org. As such, the WT/W rules of behaviour are to be followed. That means please be polite to each other, even if you disagree 😊

The Blessings of the Mother to all who enter here.
