Blessing Day

Blessing Day is the annual religious display of appreciation for the Overseer. During the night of the holiday all the planets in the solar system are visible in the sky, which is said to signify the peak of the Overseer’s presence.

Traditions
It is considered highly taboo argue or fight on this day, instead people actively seek to help others in an effort to try to make others, and consequently the Overseer feel good.

At dusk the Watched attend a religious service which lasts several hours until the planets are fully visible. At the end of the service those attending are asked to come out and stargaze, volunteers are given lit candles to represent the planets and positioned outside to mirror the planetary alignments.

Those without candles sing a song of gratitude after which the candles are extinguished and the service is concluded.
