Some things were never meant to be saints.

Experimenting with light and shadow on this one turns out darkness has layers.

Black and White Version (with a bit of color) of the previous illustration.

Spring Equinox, or Dita E Verës was the most important Holiday in Ancient Illyria/Albania. It was the first day of the ancient Albanian Calendar.

Celebrations started around March 14th and went on for days until the official Equinox.

Some of the traditions that are still carried today are:

The lighting of a great fire, around which people celebrate, and jump over, for prosperity.

Families bake a special savoury or sweet bread.

People also wear a woven bracelet made of red and white wool, which they take off the day they see a migratory swallow bird return for the first time during the spring. The bracelet is then tied to a blooming tree for the birds to take and use it to build their nests.

Some parts of the region also boil and paint eggs, symbolizing fertility and abundance ; which they give away to people.

Happy First Day of Spring!

Depiction of Prende, Ancient Illyrian Goddess of love, dawn, beauty, fertility. Also known as Afërdita (literally "Afër-Near, Dita-Day" aka Dawn), or the personification of the planet Venus.

She is considered the Albanian equivalent of the Roman Venus, Norse Freyja and Greek Aphrodite.

Although her official festival was celebrated on July 26 , I decided to depict her today because of the significance of her name.

Black and white version coming up after this, alongside some information on how the most important (and official) pagan holiday is celebrated here.
