Rose of the World

The High Feast of Rosa Mundi is the central festival of Summer, opening the season of the Fire and the Rose. The season is a solar-lunar one, beginning with the summer solstice and ending with the full moon, this year a week later. The festival is traditionally celebrated with a bonfire and outdoor revelry, and roses are often given as gifts. Mystically it relates to "the innermost temple of your heart, whose form is the form of a rose". Read more about Rosa Mundi
