Informations regarding the terms of ceremonies:
We follow the exact term regarding the dates of ceremonies on the quarter-days. As for the other ceremonies during the year we have decided to move the term of celebration closer towards the terms when the feast is generally used to be celebrated (e.g. The night of Fires is traditionally celebrated always on lastday of April) or when it is weekend day, so in that way more people could attend the meeting.
