The Sacred Calendar
How Iambists mark the year
Feast of the Returning Smile
The central annual observance of the ancient Iambe episode and the religious power of restorative mirth.
Day of Holy Folly
A celebration of voluntary ridiculousness and release from unnecessary dignity.
The Long Laugh
A summer celebration of abundance, music, food, games, and extended fellowship.
Feast of the Open Table
A holy day of hospitality focused on newcomers, strangers, and those without an easy place of belonging.
Night of Masks
A festival exploring identity, performance, authenticity, and the masks people wear in ordinary life.
Festival of the Second Loaf
The annual stewardship observance during which the Church reports on reserves, investment, charity, and plans for future ministry.
The Winter Lamp
A season of deliberate outreach against loneliness and isolation during the darker portion of the year.
Founding Day
The actual anniversary of the modern Church’s formation. It is never backdated or confused with the ancient witness.
Local congregations may create additional observances. New holy days should have a stated theological purpose, recurring form, and relationship to the core doctrine rather than being added solely because an event is enjoyable.
