    What It Is

    The first Wednesday of April in the Julian calendar — the day Tawûsî Melek, the Peacock Angel, first descended to earth and gave it color, light, and life. Eggs are dyed red to honor the day.

    How to Observe It

    Color an egg. Bless your threshold. Honor the Peacock Angel, the misunderstood one, the light-bringer who was chosen to steward the world.
