Candredi Rosea 9th (Monday June 21st) is Rosa Mundi, the great Midsummer festival of Fire and the Rose. It is the antipodal festival to Nativity, and the Southern Gate of Heaven. Traditionally Rosa Mundi is celebrated with a great bonfire and fireworks. ! But above all, Rosa Mundi is a mystical festival, the feast of the soul ascending to Dea, like a lark ascending directly to heaven: of our little selves entering the innermost depths of the great Rose-Heart of being and being consumed in the fire of pure Divine love.
