	Eusocian holidays serve three major, related, and equally important functions. Firstly, they directly connect individual Faithful with the Goddess through time via their continued and repetitious observance year after year. Just as a holiday was celebrated by those in the past, it is celebrated by those in the present and will be celebrated by those in the future all the way up to the arrival of [[Ithophsa]]. Thus is a chain forged from the future back to the present. Holidays are not to be internalized by the individual Faithful as disconnected moments in time, but as single, continuous, living bodies of which all Faithful are apart. Secondly, Eusocian holidays connect the individual Faithful with the wider Eusocian community, strengthening the faith of all and reinforcing shared belief and common purpose. Thirdly, the different rituals practiced on the various holidays have different effects on the soul of the Faithful, such as unburdening on the Day of Atonement or humbling as on the Day of Thanks.
