 Spring is the sacred season of Olteus. Temples and shrines are often decorated with the fresh flowers of spring, but only by replanting, as the destruction of a flower before it can come to seed is an insulting sacrifice to the god of fertility. The most important ritual of the year is held on the vernal equinox. The rainwater that falls between the Melting Day celebration and the equinox is collected in a special vessel, usually as tall as an adult human. The worshipers then make sacrifices of wealth, fabric, and oaths carved into wooden blocks in order to raise the water level and overflow the vessel. The water is then used to anoint the fields, while the sacrifices are thrown into the sea or nearest large body of water. Spring is the sacred season of Olteus.
