The Gratitude Festival is an annual Bajoran celebration of great importance to the Bajoran people. Also known as the Peldor Festival, it dates back as far back as 17600 BC.
Traditions[edit]
The traditional greeting during the festival is "Peldor joi". Bateret leaves are traditionally burned, and participants write their problems on renewal scrolls which are then burned so that their troubles symbolically turn to ashes.
