Feast of the Beautiful Reunion When is it celebrated? June. Also known as: Festival of the Sacred Marriage, Festival of the Joyous Reunion, Festival of the Goodly Reunion Why do we celebrate? This is a feast of love - when Hethert travels from Dendera, to see Her husband Heru-Behdety at Edfu. It's a festival that celebrates Their marriage, and all unions and all love under the sun. Think Valentine's Day, just better. ;) And way longer. Traditions & activities Celebrate love! Spoil your friends, family, significant other, strangers - be generous, give gifts, surprise them. Honour Hethert and Heru-Behdety in some way, as well. Try to visit your akhu's tombs, just like The Golden Couple did in ancient times. Decoration Since this is a "beautiful feast," I imagine flowers to be a big part of the decoration. Anything associated with love can be used. Hethert-related items (cows, lionesses, falcons, cobras, hippos, sistrums & other musical instruments, mirrors, make-up) and Heru items (hawks, falcons, bulls, udjat, weapons) make nice additions. Symbols & associations Herbs associated with love/friendship/beauty, obviously - elm, Adam & Eve roots, love seed, passion flower, maidenhair, lotus etc. I imagine myrrh, sandalwood or jasmine to be good incenses for this occasion, as well as mixes of patchouli, wisteria, lavender & frankincense. Good symbols to use would be ankhs, and symbols of the celebrated Names. I see this as a cheerful festival, so the colours would reflect that - light greens, pink, white, orange, soft blues, touches of red, gold and silver. More Hethert-specific colours could be sky blue, pastels, and the colours of the sunset or sunrise. Heru-specific colours could be lapis lazuli, gold, bright red and shades of brown.
