The 28th of Moura (March the 19th) is the last day of the year. In the Filianic tradition it is called Kala, or the Passion of Our Lady. It is the culmination of the month of Moura, when many practice disciplines in preparation for the Passion. The reading for the day is given here: Chapters IV and V. On this day, Our Lady is slain upon the Pillar of the World in the nethermost depths of Hell. It is traditional to cover all statues and images of Dea with a black or dark-coloured cloth on the evening of Kala and throughout the Hiatus. They remain covered until the dawn of the New Year. Hiatus comes after Kala. This day is not part of the old year or the new. It is the day when Our Lady is dead and the world is dead. A day that, in a sense, does not exist. Some practice a full fast on this day, or undertake special austerities. Even for the least religious, it is considered highly inauspicious to begin any new activity on Hiatus, and in general it is best to avoid referring to or acknowledging the future, for this is the end of the world. It is very difficult to do this and it is considered a valuable spiritual exercise. The special reading for Hiatus is Chapter VI, verses 1 - 6. There is also a chant for Hiatus, which is said to be a calling on the Mother to save Her Daughter: the Marianna-Maria chant. This is said to be the chant of Earth's Daughters calling upon the Mother to rescue Her fallen Daughter. Filianists are encouraged to listen to and join in this chant whenever they can during Hiatus.
