The Golden Festival
Chelanya, the Golden Festival, also called the Festival of Regeneration, opens the Mysteries of Life season. It is particularly concerned with renewal and rebirth – and all birth is rebirth – while later festivals are about abundance of life and about death.
The Mysteries of Life were a primary focus of the worship of Demeter in the ancient world and the harvest is their central symbol.
