Observed by: Common

Saint Seraphina's Day is a high holy day for Drames, the Many-Sheaved, in honor of Saint Saraphina the Kind. It is a feast day in honor of handmaidens and midwives, but is typically also a day for young wives and their husbands to entreat Saint Saraphina to intercede for them with Drames for fertility or, if the woman is already with child, an easy child birth. Breads and beer are common at the feast and midwives are treated as guests of honor, served by those they have helped through childbirth (both mothers and, possibly, their children).
