about the holiday
The Rylixian Festival (August 26th) is New Gallifrey's summer celebration of life and love for other people, both within and outside of New Gallifrey. It is inspired by the holiday of the same name mentioned in the Sarah Jane Adventures novelization The Last Sontaran, where planets across 482 recognized galaxies celebrate life.
For members of New Gallifrey who worship the Menti Celesti, the Rylixian Festival has a spiritual component, as one of the Menti Celesti is Life (half of the pair of facets that is Life/Death). Members who worship Life may give thanks to Her on this day, or give offerings to Her.
