Naxa Kishku and the four peaks

Each moon carries four peaks. Këkhitaholtëwakàn, love without measure, is the root: the moon in harmony with the sun, the source of all its light. From love grow the three fruits, Isla, Pèthakhòn, and Xàskwim. At the full moon, the church gathers to honor them all.

Dates come from the true positions of the sun, moon, and planets, computed on the church's own server for Eastern Time on the church's land in Georgia. Gregorian dates appear small, only as a bridge for newcomers.
