The tenth month, Dey, is dedicated to Dae, the Creator (Ahura Mazda), as are four days in every month: the 1st, 8th, 15th and 23rd. Where those days fall within Dey they make four name-day feasts, each called the Jashan of Dadvah, "the Creator". This is the second of them, the 8th of Dey in the Zoroastrian calendar.
