Feasts And Festivals In The Third Imperium

[alex_greene]

Does anybody have any idea whether or not there are anything like feast days and festival days in the Third Imperium? You know, Strephon's Birthday, Arbellatra's Birthday, the day the Imperium claimed Regina and named the sector the Spinward Marches, Day 001 of each year?

In this case, I'm just wondering if there is anything written up in actual canon on this topic that hasn't been listed online at all.

And on that note, I wish all of you here, and the staff of Mongoose, a Very Merry Christmas, Happy Day 359, and Season's Greetings to you all.

I vaguely remember the Emperor's Birthday. I found some references to it and New Year.

The first day of the group's stay in Leedor is New Year's Day, one of two holidays common to most worlds of the lmperium (the other is the Emperor's Birthday).

The Nobility Lists: The bulk of patents of nobility are published on one of two lists annually. The Holiday List is published on Holiday, the first day of the new year, and covers awards for achievement. The Birthday List is published on the Emperor's birthday (Strephon's is day 202) and covers awards for service.

The lmperial year consists of 365 standard 24-hour days. ... The calendar divides the year into 52 seven-day weeks beginning with day 2 (day 1 is a holiday not contained within any week).

Emperor's Birthday and New Years Day.

Other holidays are celebrated on various worlds, but are not Imperium-wide.

Religious holidays would still be celebrated, but each religion tracks those differently.
