Rok'n K'naol (Aralia), Mass of Rok'n

Overview

In Aralia the winter solstice is marked as the Veil of Rok'n, a sombre religious mass marking the death of Saint Rok'n, held at sundown in church followed by a much more jovial celebratory feast. Colourful paper balloon lanterns are launched skyward rising from the heat of small candles in recognition of Saint Rok'n having carried the light of the Goddess into the wilderness and bringing her truth to the people of the region.
