about the holiday

​The Feast of Rassilon (February 11th), also known as Rassilon's Flag Day, is one of the six Gallifreyan feast days, specifically the feast day of The Prydonian Chapter. All chapters, however, are encouraged to participate.

It is named after the founder of the Prydonian Chapter, Rassilon. The day celebrates traits common to the Prydonian Chapter, such as pragmatism, cunning and passion. The Feast of Rassilon is dedicated to the celebration of standing up for important issues and through that, fixing society a little bit at a time.

As it is a Feast Day, the mood of the day is much more celebratory and much less solemn than the Death Days, and it is common to celebrate with food that you enjoy, including having an actual feast, or sometimes to indulge in a little bit of ginger.

Ritual

​Today we recognize the importance of passion.

Of finding something that is important to you and devoting yourself to it.

We recognize the transformative power of passion,

As the underpinning of all great advancements.

We recognize the importance of standing resolute

With the strength of our convictions as our motivation

And with pragmatic wisdom as our guide

To make those changes which must be made for the betterment of our world

And to protect and preserve that which is already extant good.

We recognize the importance of strong, decisive, dedicated leadership

And we acknowledge the contributions of those who devote their lives to such

And to other forms of service to our society in the public sphere.

Today let us appreciate the Prydonian Chapter and its role within New Gallifrey,

And let us especially celebrate and honor Lord Rassilon Prydonius, its founder,

The first and most preeminent President of the High Council,

Original holder of the wisdom that guides us all and which we all aspire to know in our own lives.

To Prydon and to Rassilon!

Shadows hide you from what may harm you; stars guide you to the truth.

All (optional speaking part for everyone): Shadows hide me; stars guide me.
