History
Long before the foundation of the leadchurch preachers, the inhabitants of the Cheeseplane have celebrated the middle of the year, when the moon is half full. Gathering together in their dwellings, the people would gather and would share in their belongings to help eachother.
When the church of the leadpreachers was founded, they became gathering places, because of the shelter their, already white, churches would offer.
Execution
At night, large displays of fireworks are used. With mostly pale-white colours, representing the other half of the moon.
Components and tools
Fireworks, white coloured clothes, white food. Citizens honouring this day like to decorate their houses in banners with a half-moon. The colour of the background of the banner doesn't really matter. Although a dark blue / black bacground is generally accepted as the original version. The colour of the nightsky differs from location to location, and as to incorporate these different skies, the colour of the background can be almost any colour.
Participants
The Leadchurch Preachers hold an offical feast, in offer of their god, Plobyus. The High Priest holds a special annoucement and service.
