The Empire celebrates a holiday on the last day of the year (30th or 31st of Evening Star) called Old Life Festival. In observance of the holiday, many reflect on past experiences in the quiet sanctuary of temples.

Many go to the temples to reflect on their past. Some go for more than this, for it is rumored that priests will as the last act of the year perform resurrections on beloved friends and family members free of the usual charge. Worshippers know better than to expect this philanthropy, but they arrive in a macabre procession with the recently deceased nevertheless.

This is similar to New Year's Eve. As it complements the New Life Festival akin to New Years Day. The Old Life Festival being a day of rest before the New Life Festival, which is one big party. Summarized neatly as "the day we ask forgiveness for old sins, before committing new ones", even unpopular temples in are packed with people.
