The question to decide
A new joint festival creates shared memories but places a burden on existing rites and daily rhythms, and those on duty for essential services may be unable to participate each year. Should the community hold the new festival in the same week every year, rotate the festival by culture, or set only a joint day off and let each person use the time as they wish?
