Daena — is the guardian of the Faith of every person whose incarnation manifests itself in the soul as a personal idea of the Lord God as a conscience. And Daena is tasked with checking the truth of everyone’s thoughts, words and actions, their compliance with a person’s faith, and after the death of —, accompanying a person to his judgment.
The person himself meets her three times: before her death, immediately at the moment of death and for the third time — on the «bridge Chinvat» — on the transition to another world.
Accordingly, there are three hypostases of Faith: manifest faith — religion, secret faith — words, hidden faith — thoughts. And everyone sees the true face of their Faith. And if Daena appears to true believers in the form of a young beautiful Virgin, then sinners — in the form of a terrible old woman.
Daena's holiday is precisely connected with faith, religion and their choice, which every person must make. In addition, at this time it is necessary to pay attention to dreams. Daena opens the doors not only during the Great Transition, but also during sleep. It is believed what our dreams are like at this time — such is faith.
The sacred date of the holiday is — 11, 11 lights are lit.
Ritual holiday food is green sprouts of onions, garlic, lettuce and similar foods.
