The festival at the winter solstice encourages a kindred spirit as friends and family (although there is not much of a distinction in Milevic culture), as well as livestock, are often allowed into the home, where they gather to share a simple meal, representing Cheghmetrash's struggle as they were captured against their will. Trees are cut down and placed within the house and decorated as a symbol of Cheghmetrash's bond with the world, which she retained even in exile. The days leading up to the solstice are represented by the lighting of candles, with the final candle being lit on the day of the solstice. On the day people go to the temple at night with these candles and exchange them for gifts with each other; this exchange is symbolic of the compassion for the world which enabled Cheghmetrash to return and put an end to the Age of Darkness.

Spring equinox

The spring equinox is effectively a celebration of the return of life to the world. People celebrate this by going to local gardens and trees to watch the apple blossoms, as they are symbolic of the return of Cheghmetrash.

Summer solstice

Autumn equinox

The autumn equinox represents the time when Cheghmetrash was first captured and exiled by Zihorozmet. As a way of saying goodbye, they blessed the earth and gave the people a good harvest - but the trees began to die as a result of them not being present. People gather in towns/villages and feast together, with apples (their trees being the tree of beauty and life) being one of the main foods used.
