Mary Day

               August and June celebrate Mary Day every year on August 15th through the 16th. It is the day that they say Mary was taken to heaven. Mary Day, or days, is filled with a lot of eating and includes a ceremony and reenactment of when the statue of Mary was chained. The ceremony includes the Daughters rubbing honey all over the statue of Mary until she is completely covered. Lily even joins in, making sure Mary is entirely saturated with honey.
