News Archive New Year’s Eve Celebration
The Damanhurian New Year begins on September 1, so we celebrated New Year’s Eve on August 31, welcoming in the 35th year in Damanhurian calendar. September 1 corresponds with the date when the first Damanhur newspaper was published and also the ancient Egyptian New Year. Damanhurians and guests came together in Damjl on the last evening of the year for the Ritual of the Cornucopia in the Amphitheatre. Then, everyone lit a candle and placed it in the Stellar Falcon, chanting together.
These rituals seal the intention of prosperity and success for the coming year and symbolically confirm the desire take part in the Spiritual People, offering gratitude for the diversity and unity of the people. After the ceremonies, we toasted to the New Year and enjoyed a delicious buffet of Damanhur wines, pizzas and breads. Fireside dancing and storytelling from the early days of Damanhur closed out the enchanted night.
