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.
