The Passing of Dasau
The Passing of Dasau
is a tradition where people from the north-eastern parts of Meu fast and live outside for three days during the winter. It's similar to the way the biblical Dasau traveled the barren snowy tundra for three days and nights before coming across the path prophesized to him by the Prophet he had spoken to, Lona Bas. The path, of course, lead him out of the tundras and into the fertile lands of New Paquor. The three days and nights are spent partying with friends and family, and drinking mostly alcohol, but sometimes special or expensive beverages considered delicacies. After the three days, everyone gathers into a collection of long houses with huge tables and have a massive, five-course meal prepared by the children of New Irapuatoca. The very next morning they wake up and get back to work.History
A man by the name Dasau was a devout religious man who was told from a prophet to deliver a message from the Great Church of Irapuatoca to the Mayiik of Iluquor. Through the journey he was forced to wander without waiver for three months in the freezing cold mountains of Ko. When he finally arrived, the Mayiik snuck him in for a feast amongst the royalty as a thanks for his efforts.
As Dasau passed through Ko, he helped some of the residents of the area by giving away the food he had packaged for the trip to a family struggling through the devastating Ko winters, and by giving away his jackets and coats and layers to people whom he met on the travel. As well as that, being a mage of health for the church and a professional doctor, he gave aid to many of the sickly or injured people of the town who were unable to afford a trip to a doctor, especially during that time. In his wake, it's estimated he had helped over a hundred different families from death, or worse.
Execution
Every year in the middle of the winter season, most of the adult population of Irapuatoca participates by leaving their homes and living outside for three days and nights (rather than the three months Dasau was there fore), where they also fast to understand better the troubles the philanthropic Dasau must've felt when he graced the desperate people of Irapuatoca during that dark time. After the three days pass, the entire city gathers in several longhouses located in the middle of the city to feast on a meal prepared by the children while the adults had been outside.
Components and tools
Many of the adults drink plenty of alcohol to help both with the cold as well as with staving off the hunger. Delicacies from around the world are often prepared ahead of time and brought from places all around the world for everyone who participates to enjoy.
Participants
People from all around the world come for this event to meet with friends and families and have a great time. Some only come for the feast, most prominently people of higher importance who can't be spending so much time outside in the cold.
Observance
The Passing of Dasau is observed first on the second half-moon of the winter season, the same day Dasau began his travels through Ko.
