Birds are singing, flowers are blooming... spring is here! (At least in the Northern Hemisphere!) This month's challenge is about rituals and traditions that, just like spring, paint the world with renewed life. Specifically, this challenge's prompt is...

Write about a tradition in your world focused on renewal, rebirth, or rejuvenation.

You will need to use the tradition template for this challenge, but there are many ways to interpret this prompt! Here are some examples:

Birth and coming-of-age rituals
Birthday parties
Death rites, in cultures that believe in the afterlife or in reincarnation
Coronation ceremonies
Festivals related to fertility and planting
Spring harvest festivals
Rituals of purifications, cleansing, and atonement

Spring equinox festivals
Antique restoration traditions (like Japanese kintsugi)
Rituals meant to restore youth
Housewarming parties
Spring cleaning rituals
Traditions related to ghosts, zombies, and other undead creatures
