This ritual is used during the celebration of several formal holidays integral to the worship of Caine. Although the Sabbat currently recognizes two official High Holidays, the Palla Grande and the Festivo Dello Estinto, it has in the past and occasionally still celebrates the older holidays of Walpurgisnacht, the Sacrificial Revel, and the Eides of Caine.

A High Holiday ritus occurs within another, more specialized celebration dedicated to the holiday in question. During the Festivo Dello Estinto, there may be ritual sacrifice, bacchanalian indulgence, or gorging, while the Palla Grande is a more restrained vampiric ball with political overtones.

System Rules

Holidays are prominent events and religious celebrations. Unlike Camarilla balls or social salons, High Holidays are bloody, monstrous gatherings. They allow members of the sect to revel in their vampiric nature and educate one another on tactics, Paths of Enlightenment, and the lore and doctrine of Caine. This is not to say there are no politics at the High Holiday gatherings, but they are distinctly more subtle and more brutal than those of the Camarilla.
