The celebration begins when rose petals are dropped onto the city from the highest point in town (almost always the High Fane of the temple). The winds carry the rose petals across the entire city, signaling the start of the Feast of Roses. The celebration became popular in other cities following the fall of the Hegemony, and many took the opportunity for a summertime celebration. Since the Feast of Roses became widespread, it has become an important religious event at which betrothals are announced and many marriages are held before the entire community amidst the falling rose petals. Traditionally, rose petals for the Feast of Roses always come from the city of Málaga, though with the destruction of the old world, people in Aedin have had to settle for ordinary roses. The Church does maintain a small garden of Málaga roses, which are cultivated specifically for the Feast of Roses at the Temple of the Anointed and other important marriages. Rose petals of Málaga are considered holy and while prohibitively expensive for most people, wealthy individuals will pay through the nose to have rose petals of Málaga scattered at their weddings. The Megidol believe that there is only one way to ensure luck in love, and that is by scattering rose petals of Málaga.</blockquote>
