Sanctuary Day

Sanctuary Day is a Holiday celebrated in the New Dusk Conclave 1)

About Sanctuary Day

Sanctuary day began on the 9th month YE 40 when the predecessors of the New Dusk Conclave, Section 6, had arrived in the Sanctum system and had discovered that Sirris VI was a world that could sustain their lives, and that they could breathe its atmosphere.

Sanctuary Day is in some cases is known as the New Dusk Conclave’s birthday as it was here where Section 6 began changing and reformed itself. But it also is sort of their Year-End as well.

Traditions

The night before Sanctuary Day is a time for smaller celebrations, mostly smaller groups of people, and mostly close friends and family, and mostly for those who can’t stand huge crowds and loud noises, or those who might have a hard time for huge festivities.

On the Day of Sanctuary day, are huge parades that begin after breakfast time, and throughout the day there are festivals and carnivals, where families and friends can win amazing prizes. And if people don’t want to do that, then they can sit back and watch air shows with Fighters flying overhead,2) Skilled and well-trained, or programmed pilots perform tricks and leave colorful trails behind them in the skies above.

Those with seaworthy vessels sometimes hold a fishing contest to catch the largest fish. This is a feat difficult thanks to the Mega-Fauna on Sirris VI but not so on planet Daichi in the Nephis System.

In the daytime are free musical concerts where musicians play their music, and at night, there are fireworks displays. These celebrations aren’t nonstop; there are breaks during lunches where families can have picnics, and where people can make a barbecue.
