For the Spring Equinox holiday, there are foods that use lightly-flavored mushrooms, along with other spring herbs and other "bright"/tart-flavored ingredients. | |||

====''Xiðaf''==== | |||

A more restrictive diet is followed for the month of Çatxiðaf until Vinwr 1, which is Bwrjadraig or Winter Solstice. The fasting is explained as mental preparation for scarcity of winter and remembering the loved ones who died. | |||
====''Bwrjadraig''==== | |||
Falling on Vinwr 1, ''Bwrjadraig'' ([[Eevo]]; 'winter solstice'; [[Windermere]]: ''hălăhing srel'') is a holiday which emphasizes resolve to survive and live, remembrance of those who have died, as well as hope for a future better than now. | |||
