A Holy Day to Esrola

  • Celebrated on Day 150 or Clayday of Movement Week in Earth Season
  • Only women celebrate this holiday.
  • It recreates the escape of Esrola from the clutches of Angdartha despite her being cut into many pieces.
  • At dawn, the priestesses reveal a straw figure of Esrola cut from the first sheaf of the harvest.
  • They spend the day in the Loom House, in the fields, and in the wilds.
  • At dusk, the women hide the straw figure in a basket and blankets
  • They mourn the goddess then.
  • Finally, they burn the straw figure so that Esrola can be reborn again at the turning of the cycle.
