April to March

***Tsvætenja**, Travenja, Kresenja, Lipenja,
Zareva, Rūjan, Listopad, Grudenja,
Koljedja, Prosinets, Ljutenja, Berezenja*

### In Bujanski Common alphabet:

**Цвѣтенја***, Травенја, Кресенја, Ліпенја,*
*Зарева, Рӯјан, Лістопад, Груденја,*
*Колједја, Просінец, Лјутенја, Березенја*

## Tsvætenja, Svætenja (April, Цвѣтенја)

This is the month when the year begins.

* **April 1 - New Year's Day, Pjervodenj**
* **mid-April, Friday before Jurijevo - Herbal Friday**
	+ Also held to celebrate doctors and all medical workers.
* **April 16 - Jurijevo, Jarildan (Jarilo's Sacred Day)**
	+ One custom practiced by women on that day is consecrating themselves as priestesses of Jarilo. They act as Queen Vesnovka, his first child and daughter with the evil goddess Morana, and go on a procession to chop a wooden head to usher in spring. After that, the priestesses take another bath and go back to their usual daily lives.
	+ Because many Ontemazei love this festival to worship the Lord of Trees, this is also a test of their character. The women who fight over who acts as a priestess will lose their role to another woman who does not fight or quarrel, but even then the winner must learn with the losers to become humble.

## Travenja (May, Травенја)

* **May 1 - Labour Day, Citizenry Day**
	+ Celebrates all workers in Bujan; and by extension, all citizens and democracy itself.
* May 9 - Zremandil Day
	+ Celebrates the successful revolt at the Burrow-city of Zremandil that sparked the Bujanski Revolution.
	+ Observed by wearing the colours of green and yellow, and parades where marchers wear Vozonid robes and crowns.
* **May 10 or nearest Friday - Women's Day, Mokoshdan of Spring, Grand Mokoshdan (Mokosh's Sacred Day)**
* **May 28 - Nosorkau Day, Day of Laws, Unification Day**
	+ Celebrates the creation of the Krudaka Code, written by King Motakol during the Third Age.
	+ Also a holy day to the god Perun (lord of law and justice), and Lord Shiva and Kali Ma (deities of justice).
	+ Celebrated with reciting poems, history shows, and dramas; folk dances; and prayers.
	+ This is one of two dates in Bujan that are celebrated as "Victory Days", the other being the date of Bujan's independence from Wannaenid rule.

## Kresenja (June, Кресенја)

* **mid-June - Pjosaroz Day**
* **June 21 - Perendan Kupala (summer solstice, consecrated to Perun)**
* **June 24 - Den Sujonstranav, Federation Day**
	+ Celebrates the day the five nations south of Bujan elected to merge with the kingdom, effectively turning Bujan into a federation of six regional governments.
	+ In Bujan itself, it is just a public holiday, although some provinces light fireworks and host fairs and discounts for tourists and students from the southern realms. Shanchazorra and its province are one of those provinces, due to being near the Makkadalish island of Arienai. There, the locals celebrate by visiting Arienai and vice versa, eat local dishes, and carve pumpkin lanterns with the faces of cats, a custom from Arienai's merchant ports.
	+ In the five realms, it is celebrated as a patriotic festival. Fireworks, parades, national symbols alongside Bujanski flags. and tourism parties visiting each other's cities.
	+ Notoriously, all travel fees for citizens from the five realms to Bujan are discounted by half, and many businesses tend to halve prices of popular services and products for any citizen of the five realms.
	+ A traditional symbol of Federation Day is a dark blue flag of six colourful gems or circles, forming a star. It represents the cooperation of Bujan and the five other nations as a united front.
	+ In spite of being a *de facto* federal nation, Bujan's official name is still not "Federation", but "Kingdom".
* **June 28 - Den Svobodav, Independence Day, Svjetodan, Vidovdan (Svetovid's Sacred Day)**
	+ Celebrated with a horse sacrifice (or burning horse meat), ship races, lanterns, and a parade.
	+ The ship races, blue flags, and fireworks are the most notable traditions.
	+ This is one of two dates in Bujan that are celebrated as "Victory Days", the other being May 28, the date when King Motakol unified the island for the first time.
* June 29 - Reconciliation Day, Amnesty Day, Forgiveness Day
	+ Celebrates the day almost all online blocks are removed by the government of Bujan on 1892, except towards serious criminals, abusers, harrassers, frauds, and extremists in prison.
	+ At first, Terrans back then were very angry because they would be forced to apologise to the hundreds of people they blocked, to explain the petty reasons and to reconcile. More and more Terrans began to reconcile and beg the people they hurt for forgiveness, driven by their nightmares in prison and the horrors of the July purges. Eventually, less and less Bujanski blocked others, reserving such a treatment to report a criminal or anyone who threatens to hurt someone.
	+ Since the July massacres, groups that were friendlier to Terrans proposed making it a day to cancel loans and debts. Primarily, it is usually a day to end grudges, celebrated by unblocking online users (if any are undergoing penance as a result), apologies, and seeking forgiveness.
	+ It was also the day when prisoners with very good conduct were freed, or inmates were granted pardons by the King of Bujan. Even people in charge of offenders undergoing social penance celebrated by forgiving repentants, allowing them to be freed on the day itself.

## Lipenja (July, Ліпенја)

This was notorious for that July after independence when massacres took place all over the island.

* July 1 - Day of Mourning
	+ In some parts of Bujan, all national flags were flown on half-mast, and tied with black ribbons. Trees were tied in blue and white ribbons (a traditional Wonao symbol of mourning), and everyone must stand for a minute of silence.
	+ Some Bujanski even quietly presented Terran neighbours gifts, to represent an apology. The last known case was on 1940 AT, when a Free North Bujanski declared the Bujanski who gave him 6,000 venchasi "forgiven of all sins", ending the practice for good.
* **July 2 - Marine Day, Morskoi Day**
	+ Not only to celebrate the Royal Navy, but also to celebrate the seas around Bujan. It is observed by dancing near the sea, offering food to fish and sharks, and boat parades.
* July 7 - Day of the Sun, Dazhbog Day, Trishula Day, Trisolja Den
	+ On this holy day, people offer garlands of ten sunflowers as burned offerings. They believe that offering the flowers to Dazhbog ensures his blessings upon their minds, allowing them to think faster and win tests and games.
	+ This is also a major holiday in the Kingdom of Rukania, who venerates Dazhbog as one of its national gods. To celebrate, boat races are held at the southern parts, with the boats' prows shaped like tractors and chariots.
	+ While the trident is raised as a holy symbol of Dazhbog, some people also celebrate this day to praise Lord Shiva.
* **July 20 - Men's Day, Perendan (Perun's Sacred Day)**
	+ This is celebrated with wrestling matches and sports, and jumping over a bonfire.

## Zareva (August, Зарева)

In the Zvestarid calendar, this month was known as Serpenja, the Month of the Sickle.

* August 1 or varied date - Start of Soravan.
	+ Worshippers of Lord Shiva and Kali Ma begin the month with a prayer and wearing white on the first day. This holy month is observed mostly by Ontemazei and other Hindus in Bujan.
	+ On Mondays and Tuesdays, devotees do not eat at daytime to focus their minds on the Gods. They can still eat as normal on other days of the week, but they refuse alcohol, cigarettes, and intoxicants until the end of Soravan.
* **August 3 - Mokoshdan of Summer**
* August 12 - Nilachaum, Day of the Sea Harvest
	+ This is a thanksgiving day held to worship the sea god. Fish and rich dishes are thrown into the sea as offerings.
	+ Other people, especially fisherpeople and ship crew, also observe Nilachaum to worship Morskoi.

* **August 17-18 - Foundation Days**
	+ Celebrates the restoration of Bujan's independence by King Koschei on August 17, and the independence of the Bujanid Empire from Vozonid domination on August 18.
	+ This is celebrated by waving the red wolf flag of the Bujanid Empire, soldiers marching, fireworks, and ship parades.
* August 24-31 - Emerald Week
* **August 31 or varied date - End of Soravan.**
	+ Ontemazei and other Hindus celebrate with a big dinner before midnight, when they will join the Purulli parties.
	+ Vozonid New Year's Eve, celebrated with green paper lanterns and gryphon statues.

## Rūjan (September, Рӯјан)

* **September 1 - Purulli, Festival of Lights, First Harvest Dance**
	+ Observed all over Bujan as the Festival of Lights, when fairy lights, lanterns, paper gryphons, emeralds, spinels, and palm leaves are hung everywhere.
	+ People offer fruit, vegetables, and crops to Hannahanna and Mokosh, the goddesses of the earth.
* **September 8 - Pjervobog Day, Thanksgiving Day, Second Harvest Dance**
* **September 21-22 - Svarog Day, Technology Day; followed by Autumn Harvest**
	+ The people of Bujan venerate Svarog as the god of technology and science, so they honour him on that day by building and showing off machines and engines. It is also used to celebrate the kingdom's technological progress.

## Listopad (October, Лістопад)

Because October in Bujan begins with Cat Day and ends with another festival related to black cats, the month has become associated with cats, as the Cat Month: Mæustopad.

Festivals on October may have cats as their decorations and mascots. For example, on Midaeta (Wonao New Year), a cat is seen pouring water from an urn and holding a tree branch. Then, on Kali Puja, a cat is shown giving a book to a poor child, representing wisdom. And finally, on Ancestors' Day, a third cat is shown praying to several warriors who smile at him from a cloud on Heaven.

* October 1 - Den Maeujov, Cat Day
	+ This is the day for the Pinogunian New Year, especially when it begins the Year of the Tiger. October is considered there as the Month of the Gods, the holy month.
	+ Bujanski celebrate Cat Day by dressing their cats in cute costumes, buying them gifts, or bringing them out on trips and holidays.
* **October 4 - Restoration Day, Opening Day**
	+ Celebrates the end of the July massacres in 1892 with the defeat of the Anti-Terran Action. With the threat ended, other countries ended their isolation and reopened formal relations with the kingdom.
* October 6 - Cat Day (older), Star Tiger Day
	+ This was the older date for Bujan's Cat Day, honouring an ancient Wonao legend about a cat who leaped to the sky for a thousand and six times. After the last attempt, he rose to a star, where he ascended to godhood as a tiger.
	+ Still observed as Cat Day in some Bujanski provinces, mostly by bringing cats to watch theatre performances or movies. For example, in Nilahaunda City, moviegoers who bring their cats to the cinema enjoy a discount that cuts the price of a ticket by half.
* **October 17 - Midaeta, Wonao New Year**
	+ The Wonao people celebrate the new year as the end of their wheat and barley harvest. It is observed with drum ceremonies and dances to the harvest goddess.

* **late-October, Friday between October 25 to November 1 - Mokoshdan of Autumn, Third Harvest Dance**
* **October to November - Kali Puja, Children's Day**
	+ Ontemazei celebrate this day by praying to Kali and giving to children their favourite gifts. They also pray so that Kali Ma will make children strong, wise, and just, following Her example to make the world a fairer place.
	+ In modern times, due to the popularity of the festival among Ontemazei who bless children with the gifts of Kali Ma, it later became Bujan's equivalent of Children's Day.
	+ In nearby Irajon, Kali Puja is observed by Terrans to reflect on their path to redemption, and the harmful attitudes they abandoned to improve themselves. That day on 1909 AT was the day all of them became full citizens of Irajon.
* **October 26 - Daedy, Daedydan, Day of the Ancestors or Memorial Day**
	+ This is celebrated with prayers and offerings to the ancestors and all the soldiers who died fighting for the country. Red flowers are placed and burned on graves, memorials, and shrines.
	+ On that day, Bujanski leave one or a few seats for the ancestors' spirits to sit together and bless them.
* October 31 - Redemption Day, Forgiveness Day
	+ In 1903 AT, this was the very day a Terran boy in Bujan was granted a blue card, making him an equal to other Bujanski. As other young Terrans were also given blue cards instead of green ones, the last day of October became a joyous day to all Bujanski Terrans, representing them being forgiven from their past sin.
	+ It is celebrated with themselves as the monsters from another festival, Halloween, representing their choice to be good instead of being evil. They also thanked the Ontemazei for protecting them from being killed, and inspiring them to abandon their fanatical ways in favour of deradicalisation.
* October 31 - Day of the Black Cat
	+ While Marnos celebrates the day of black cats on its national day on August, the Bujanski equivalent falls on the end of October.
	+ Maeranoi, both some Qyuvians and Serpents, celebrated a festival known as "Halloween", which was about monsters, ghosts, and witches. Notably, Bujanski began to love the festival mainly because of the decorations and cats. Officially, Halloween was banned by both the Church of Q and the Tyrskan authorities, while Wannaenids celebrated it with mass murders of Terrans and public executions
	+ As an act of resistance, Bujanski used to display black cats or adopt black felines on October, to represent rejection of Terran domination. Terran loyalists in Bujan also adopted the feline imagery to represent repentance and acceptance of Bujanski victory.

## Grudenja (November, Груденја)

* November 10 - Mokoshdan of Autumn
	+ This is the date used for the main Mokoshdan in some countries. It is also regarded as the "one Mokoshdan", whereas the Bujanski observe *three* Mokoshdans to honour the goddess and the seasons.
* November 11 - Wolves' Day, Teacher's Day
	+ In traditional Rodnovery, the wolf is a holy animal representing the ancestors. This is also a holy day to Dazhbog, so at morning, people burn meat as offerings to him and his heavenly wolves to thank him for the harvest.
	+ Some people also offer a second garland of special autumn-grown sunflowers as thanksgiving to Dazhbog.
	+ According to Bujanski tradition, people are not allowed to wear wool clothes on that day, but they must be sealed behind closets and boxes, only taken out on November 12. This is done in honour of Dazhbog, so he will not curse offenders to be weak and vulnerable to disaster.
	+ It is also the Rukanian New Year, celebrated by burning watermelons, flowers, mutton, and wool as offerings to worship Dazhbog. Because of Rukania's role in teaching the older Bujanski to be noble and advanced, it is sometimes treated as Teacher's Day.
	+ Bujanski celebrate Wolves' Day, in honour of all teachers, by leaving a meat or curry dish to thank them. They also leave sunflower or flower garlands to thank their teachers. Teachers usually then give the extra meals, in freezer boxes, to charity groups to thank the Gods.
* **early November - Uorimon Day**
* **mid-November - Zomjonor's Birthday, Winter Festival**

## Koljedja (December, Колједја)

Koljedja, or December, is sometimes known as "Koljadja" or "Koliada". It can be simplified to "Kolieda".

In Bujanski folklore, this is when the year is going to decay and "die".

* **December 20-22 - Kolieda, Yule (winter solstice)**
	+ Can be translated to "Yule" or "Christmas".
	+ In ancient times, a holy festival celebrated with people wearing masks and burning bonfires in honour of Veles and Svarog.
	+ Nowadays, a merry celebration of decorations, cafes, the commercial season, and wearing masks.

## Prosinets (January, Просінец)

In the Zvestarid calendar, it was known as Sæčenja.

* **January 6 - Vodokres, Day of Water**
	+ A day to worship the domovoi and nature spirits by honouring water. To do so, Rodnovers in Bujan bathe themselves in holy water consecrated from rivers, ponds, and natural sources, mixed with herbs. A sacred oak log or branch is cut with an axe and burned facing east as a prayer to the Gods, and then breakfast may begin.
	+ Noodles became a traditional festive meal for Vodokres in Bujan, as Wonao noodle stalls were among the restaurants that remained open in the early morning while everyone else was praying.
* **January 28 - Ancestors' Day**

## Ljutenja (February, Лјутенја)

1. May 28 - Nokorsau Day, Day of Law
	* This was the day the Wonao celebrated the formation of the Krudaka Code, a series of laws written by the ancient king Motakol to govern his people.

3. October 17 - Midaeta, Wonao New Year
	* The Wonao people celebrate the new year as the end of their wheat and barley harvest. It is observed with drum ceremonies and dances to the harvest goddess.
4. December 22 - Ve Sönnantau, Lantern Festival
	* Wonao people raise blue lanterns to worship the gods of winds and stars, seeking their protection against blizzards. Nowadays crossed over with the more widespread Kolieda, with Wonao rice and fish dishes also becoming festive food.
5. February 11 - Ve Mihhandau, Knowledge Day
	* Traditionally the holy day of Ujerol, Wonao god of knowledge, celebrated by recitals of poems and immersing statues of idols into water in a ritual bath. Later it is also celebrated with releasing floats full of useless books into the sea or Bujan's central bays as great drums play.
	* In the Bujanid Empire, it was designated as its own Knowledge Day to replace September 1, Darros' Knowledge Day, to symbolise independence from Darros.
6. March 2 or 3 - Darokauta Day, Wonao New Year
	* In Wonao mythology, this was the day the world was created. It is celebrated by burning wooden poles as offerings to the gods and drumming hymns.

* March 28 - Ve Nolpatara, End of Darkness
	+ Marks the day King Motakol killed off the last cannibal in Resovjant, ending the Old Hiranol. The "Old Hiranol" was a name for a great war caused by a blizzard and a famine, notorious for widespread cases of murder and cannibalism.

The kahulon is celebrated at the last day or night of each month. It is observed with white lanterns and a market fair, and boat races at night. Each month has a different kahulon pole, which is a wooden stick with flowers and leaves. Kahulons are not public holidays in Bujan.

## Other holidays

* July 7 - Dazhbog Day, Day of the Sun
	+ Popular among Arnadjanai and Ontemazei, who worship the Sun.
* July-August - Soravan, the Holy Month
	+ On that month, the Ontemazei pray at home in silence to the gods of infinity, truth, and justice, Shiva and Kali, to thank them for their protection and guidance. One custom many Ontemazei practice is fasting during daylight hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, to honour each of the Gods. Those who are unable to fast at least never eat meat, milk, or eggs to purify their own souls before the Gods.
	+ Corresponds to the Hindu month of Shraavana.
* mid-August - Anta-Soravan - End of Soravan
	+ Celebrated with a feast and a fireworks show by Ontemazei.
* September - Pitru Paksha, Mudrinets Dan - Ancestors' Day
	+ The name refers to the first of sixteen days. On those days, Ontemazei put up lanterns to welcome their ancestors' spirits from Mount Kailasa, and offer rice balls to their shrines.
* October - Science Day
	+ According to Porasonid folklore, this was supposedly the birthday of Ravana, the monster-god of science.
	+ Celebrated by the Ontemazei with a science exhibition.
* November 11 - Teacher's Day
	+ The Rukanian New Year, the country's own sacred day for Dazhbog (its national god), observed in Bujan as a tribute to the Rukanians who taught the Bujanski to be courageous and noble. On November, devout Bujanski refuse to use wool except as burnt offerings, so they wear other kinds of clothes.
* October-November - Kali Poja, Children's Day, Day of the Guardian Goddess (Ontemazei), Kalidan
	+ This custom was derived from Porasonid traditions. Although only hundreds of Ontemazei in Bujan continue to be Hindus or have reverted to Hinduism, many Ontemazei celebrate the middle of November as a sacred day to honour the protector of their souls, Kali Ma. They continue the tradition of honouring Kali Ma by lighting lamps to thank Her for protecting them, and by giving beautiful gifts to children.

## Trivia

* For example, August 31 (Independence Day in Malaysia and the day before the Vozonid New Year) is read in Bujanski as Zareva 31, or "Zareva, Tridsjat Adjennij Denj" (August, Thirty-First Day).
* The names of the Bujanski months were derived from the names proposed by the neopagan extremist priest Alexei Dobrovolsky. Unfortunately, they were used as an example of the months used by some Rodnover groups, so they ended up being stuck as the names of Bujan's months.
	+ April to March: Цветень, Травень, Кресень, Липень, Зарев, Руень, Листопад, Грудень, Студень (replaced by Коляда), Просинец, Лютень, Березень.
	+ On the other hand, the author made a bunch of puns from the "paganised names", reflecting the pagan-majority's love of pop culture and humour. For example, Tsvætenja (April) became Zværǐtenja (BEASTpril, Beast April).
* Some of the months used in the Bujanski calendar resemble the Ukrainian names of Gregorian months.
* In Bujanski mythology, twelve gods and goddesses oversee each month of the year, blessing the good and cursing the wicked. At the final night of March, they gather at Perun's court to read the deeds and minds of all individuals to the other high gods, who then bestow punishments or rewards by everyone's actions.
* Bujan has three time zones: Tselanian time (west), Homeland time (centre), and Eastern time (east). The reference point for the time zones is at an observatory east of Koscheigrad, along a mountain range.
* Like Porashon (and Thailand), the sale of alcohol is banned in certain days of the calendar, mostly sacred days:
	+ Mokosh's Day
	+ Nosorkau Day
	+ July 1 - in some provinces, as an act of mourning
	+ Perun's Day
	+ Dazhbog's Day
	+ Start of Shraavan
	+ Mondays and Tuesdays within the Dharmic month of Shraavan
	+ Nilachaun Day
	+ Midaeta (Wonao New Year)
	+ Memorial Day
	+ Kali Puja
	+ Vodokres
	+ Ancestors Day
