Persephone's Descent

The Night Before Fthinóporo

Persephone's Descent refers to the evening leading up to midnight on the morning of Fthinóporo. It is at midnight on the morning of Fthinóporo that Lady Kore once again becomes Lady Persephone, and is reunited with Lord Pluton in Hades.

While not a festival, Temple Hyacinthus teaches that this evening is holy and worthy of respect.
