"being alone over the holidays is so sad" um no actually rather than deal with traffic/airports and potentially contract covid just to be re-traumatized by dysfunctional family, i choose instead to be incredibly sexy and take a lovely staycation that is just me and my glorious self splurging on delicious food, media, and leisure time

#if i binge the entire home alone series while feasting on 2 servings of shrimp pad thai followed by a generous amount of cheesecake #while you go to bed early with a stress headache from your parents' triggering behavior #one of us is in need need of sympathy and hint! it isn't me #anyway stop pressuring people into making commitments to visit family on the holidays just because it would 'sad' to be alone #trust me it's a lot sadder to be stuck spending time with people who make you uncomfortable and stressed

The 2nd of February is the Christian festivity called Candlemas (Candelera in Catalan). It's the date that ends the Christmas cycle, where traditionally people would put away the Nativity scene, though nowadays lots of people take it down soon after Three Wise Men Day (6th of January).

What does this day celebrate?

Candlemas is most likely a remnant of the Ancient Roman festival of Parentalia (last day of the Feralia), celebrated annually in February to remember the dead. During Parentalia, they did processions where they dressed in black and carried little blessed candles to the cemeteries to guide the dead people's souls.

Some say that the origins of Candlemas might also be related to another Ancient Roman festival celebrated in February: the Lupercalia, in honour of the god of fertility and shepherds Lupercus.

In the Christian tradition, this festivity celebrates when Mary brought Jesus to the temple. Biblical scholars explain that it was a tradition for Jewish women to bring their child to the temple 40 days after giving birth. Then, the child was presented to the priests and they were blessed in front of candles, and the woman was purified. Since the Christian tradition says Jesus was born on the 25th of December, 40 days after his birth is the 2nd of February. Candlemas is celebrated every year on this day to commemorate Mary introducing Jesus to the temple. The festivity was introduced officially by Pope Gelasius I in the year 496.

How is Candlemas celebrated?

Believers take candles to be blessed, and some places hold processions with lit candles. The candles are taken home to be kept, because they're believed to have protection powers.

Unlike other festivals of the Christian calendar (like local patron saint days, Christmas, Three Wise Men Day, Saint Anthony/Three Laps, Saint George, Midsummer/Saint John, Corpus, etc) which are celebrated by everyone in our country, Christian and non-Christian alike; Candlemas is not so widely celebrated by people who aren't Christian believers. But even then, there is one thing that everyone knows Candlemas for: predicting the weather.

In Catalan we have the saying: "Si la Candelera plora, l'hivern és fora. Si la Candelera riu, el fred és viu." which means "If Candlemas cries, the winter is out. If Candlemas laughs, the cold is alive". This sums it up, if it rains on February 2nd it's believed to be a sign that winter is ending. If it's sunny, winter will still go on.

Candlemas is also the day that people in the USA and Canada hold "Groundhog Day", where a groundhog (a rodent animal) is said to predict the same.

Some mountain parts of Europe also remember this date as the day where bears wake up from their hibernation, and many of these places have some festivity about it. In Northern Catalonia, we have the Bear Festivity (Festa de l'Os). In this ancient festivity, which is still done nowadays, some people from the town dress up as bears, while others get all dirty and accompany him running through the town, shouting, whistling and playing music. Others dress up as hunters and run after them. It represents nature waking up from the winter rest, but also the danger that comes with it.

The festivity ends when the hunters bring the bear to the town centre and take off his bear skin, turning him into a human. This represents the victory of humans over nature, but scholars also point that it could come from an ancient myth from the Pyrenees according to which humans evolved from bears (for reference, we don't have apes nor monkeys in this part of the world).

To the fairy boys, what's the best human dish they've ever eaten? Not sweets, or singular items(like olives), some kind of actual breakfast/lunch/dinner dish.

Perhaps a holiday dinner.

Like turkey or a roasted ham, all of the vegetables and sides and desserts. Even the beverages.

Sun and Moon have been led by the aromas of a holiday feast, little tummies starving for a bite. But too risky to try and snag one without being seen.

" seacht saoire shona! "

An Chéad Fheis — The First Feast.

House Bracken: The Candle Ceremony and Authentic Riverish Revelry, The Maiden

Theme: Ancient Riverlands Roots and Authenticity

It is a long standing tradition, though no house other than Tully has a set night, that House Bracken opens the Seven Winter Feasts, and the Brackens open the festival with an authentic Riverish celebration, emphasizing a candle ceremony to symbolize the festival's beginning. Placing a lit candle in each window of Riverrun symbolizes hospitality, guiding family and travelers alike. It represents a gesture of welcome and a tradition carried on during the Seven Winter Feasts. House Bracken lights a candle on each table on the night of The First Feast, and they, like the candles in the windows, are kept burning the seven nights of celebrations.

These candles are lit by the Candle Maiden, or Cailín Coinnea. For An Chéad Fheis, Brianna Bracken has been given this honor. @briannabrackens

In the ancient Riverlands yule candle tradition, the Candle Maiden, garbed in an angelic white gown, lights these candles that herald The Seven Winter Feasts. The Candle Maiden is played most often by a young lady of the house who hosts The First Feast. This winter-blessed garment, said to be as old as The Trident itself, gives her a winged appearance as she steps first into the grand feasting hall. The procession of noble families hailing from all corners of The Riverlands follow in her wake, taking their seats as she lights the candles at each table.

Her ceremonial journey ends at the high table, where she bows before the king and offers a yule prayer over the feast. After the prayer, the young maiden portraying the Candle Maiden returns to her seat, yet the candles she lit endure throughout the seven nights, symbolizing an unwavering essence of hope and renewal.

The feast comprises traditional Riverlands dishes, vibrant music, and dancing, echoing the essence of revelry and the hope of a bright future. Traditional dishes such as foraged mushrooms, roasted game meats, and hearty root vegetable dishes make up the simple yet hearty fare of a traditional Riverlands feast.

It is on this night The Riverlands’ Brightwater roots are acknowledged, and House Florent — though they do not host a Feast themselves — always have a table in Riverrun’s hall, regardless of if House Florent choses to attend. If they do not, the table is still set with food, drinks, desert, and served symbolically throughout the first night's celebration. If they attend, they are honored with a table and lodgings for the entirety of the celebrations.

Some commonly used phrases and greetings to use:

“happy feasting” (féasta sona) “merry seven feasts” (seacht saoire shona) (very common when drunk bc of the alliteration) “happy first feast” (an chéad fhéile sásta) “merry first feast to you” (an chéad fhéile sona dhuit) “by the light of the candle maiden” (le solas cailín na coinnle) (good luck, blessing for a new year)

ooc: WELCOME TO THE FIRST OF THE SEVEN WINTER FEASTS! In the light of the holidays, the riverlands cordially invites you to some classic christmas and yule inspired chaos. Good old fashion family charm of fun and a little bit of crazy. id encourage you guys to explore light hearted fun in these feasts! Whose uncle drank too much? Have you spilt something on someone’s yule dress? You looked at my wife (not you, omer!) BANTER BANTER BANTER! Though this is a Riverlands holiday, envoys, emissaries, and other nobles and extended family are always welcome at Riverrun.

Of Pride and Pestiferous Pathos - Chapter 7 - SchonAndDying, tableflipapocalypse - Villainous (Cartoon) [Archive of Our Own]

If you're going to have tea with a powerful demon you know, be careful. Not because there's a particular way to mess it up, but because there's a high likelihood that your curiosity surrounding him really WILL kill you.

If you're going to have tea with your strange human, be careful. Not because there's a particular way to enjoy it, but because getting close to one might mean you learn something you're not ready to hear.

(Part 1/2)

Prayer to Ra for the Sailing Feast

Ra, Lord of the Sun!

Guardian of the Heavens, Ruler of the Netjeru!

Ra, Lord of the Horizon!

We call upon you,

Mighty in your glory as the sun sets!

Magnificent in your splendor as the sky fills with fire!

Each evening you descend to do battle with the forces of isfet,

And each morning you rise again, triumphant!

Ra, your powerful Daughters,

Bast and Sekhmet: your Avenging Eyes,

They join you in the barque this night,

They join you sailing into the Duat.

We have prepared this boat for your going,

We have prepared this food and drink for a feast before you embark.

We will revel as the sun sets!

Great Ra, you will triumph during the night,

And in the morning we will search for your boat on the horizon,

As you and your Eye-Daughters sail in your boat to other places

As you three are honored and feasted again and again!

Most Glorious Ra, in three days' time

When you return on the boat with your Eye-Daughters

When you come back to this Temple with Bast and Sekhmet

We will welcome you back with more feasting and revels!

#sailing holiday #feast of ra #Kemetic holiday #Kemetic #ra #bast #sekhmet
