Festival of Life

The Festival of Life is on the last day of the year, celebrating the passing of time, birth, rebirth, and new beginnings. It is also notably a fertility festival, celebrating the conception and birth of children, family bonds, and like many festivals focusing on the gods, sex and food.

Execution

The Festival of Life is often started with a large meal or feast at dawn of a variety of foods depending on location and culture but heavily focuses on meat, fruits, and flowers. Blood of various kinds is also in heavy association with the holiday, with blood pudding being an exceptionally common treat sold by street vendors.
Streets and parks are decorated with dried flowers and plants collected throughout the year, particularly Death's Bloom and Dragonsbane. Petals and seeds of native plants are scattered throughout the streets, most often all leading to a central point where the main festivities are held. As the festival reaches a height during midday, priests will use life magic to revive the dried plants and cause seeds to sprout in brilliant displays often alongside fireworks and colorbombing participants and festival goers. This is followed by more feasting throughout the day, with the streets of even small towns being lined with vendors hawking various foods from around the world and local cuisine.
Often, the festival is taken to be a celebration of fertility as well, with prostpective parents often visting Mora, The God of Life's temples, women to Olrath and fathers to Ferventi, God of Wolves's shrines and temples respectively, and other gods associated with parenthood and children to give offerings in hopes of increasing their chances at conceiving and having children themselves. Conceptions and pregnancies reach an all time high this time of year as a result.
The festival, unsurprising given its connection to fertility, is also often celebrated with vast amounts of sex with the gods themselves often participating. Yung Pagoni, God of Peacocks and Ferventi, God of Wolves are particularly well known for 'participating' with mortals during this time.
Most often the festival closes at midnight with a large celebration of fireworks, more colorbombing, feasting, and drinking well into the next morning.

Participants

Mora, The God of Life is the god most closely associated with the festival, which is held in their name. Mora will make trips to many locations, often those holding the largest celebrations, giving out boons and blessing regularly and known in particular to offer protection and blessings to children and pregnant people the most.
Yung Pagoni, God of Peacocks, Ferventi, God of Wolves, and Olrath are also gods closely associated with the festival for their connection to fertility, children, and parenthood, with Yung and Ferventi also having heavy associations with the sexual part of the festival. Hikaru Vulapin, God of Foxes is sometimes, depending on the region, also associated closely with Ferventi as well, and in some regions will replace Yung's role in the festival.
