There are three major spiritual Festivals which form the high point in the annual cycle. These are the Festival of Easter (at the Aries full moon), the Festival of Wesak (at the Taurus full moon), and the Festival of Goodwill (at the Gemini full moon).

The day of the Festival is to be known as the "day of safeguarding" whilst the two succeeding days are called the "days of distribution."
