Foremost among religious holidays, the Chalice Rising Festival is a tribute to the Order of King Dav. It is held in conjunction with the Lithmorran Wine Festival, and begins with all members of a parish attending Mass. The festival itself lasts for four days; with each day passing the families exchange a gift, representative of each of the Declarations. The day is a day of celebration and joy, and concludes each night with the lighting of a Davite Candle. During the time of the festival, celebrants are restricted to a diet of bread, water and wine. The ceremony concludes on the fourth night with lighting of the central candle and a great feast. At this time, each family raises their Grand Chalice towards the nearest belltower, and the head of the household reiterates his or her oath to follow the Declarations of Dav.
The Chalice Rising festival is held on the last four days of the third month each year (Maritus), in recognition of the upcoming spring and growth of the land.
Actual days are 28th, 29th, 30th, and 31st of Maritus.
