Day of Salvation

The Day of Salvation is a holiday celebrated in Union in the middle of the winter months, marking the day that the Savior brought an end to the ancient war of 500 years past between man and Pokémon.

Salvation is observed with the stringing of lights and festive decorations. Union citizens make a number of traditional (and often delicious) dishes and gifts throughout the month of December that they leave under a special shrine erected in honor of the Savior. The celebration culminates at the end of December with a feast that often lasts several days, with the offerings prepared for the shrine being consumed and the gifts exchanged among friends and family.

Salvation preparations are usually accompanied by somewhat kitschy music from about twenty years ago that everyone plays ad nauseum during the season even though most people secretly hate it.

The Salvation season lasts through the month of December, with the great feast occurring in the final week.
