At dawn, the priestesses reveal a straw figure of Esrola cut from the first sheaf of the harvest. They spend the day in the Loom House, in the fields, and in the wilds. At dusk, the women hide the straw figure in a basket and blankets. They mourn the goddess then. Finally, they burn the straw figure so that Esrola can be reborn again at the turning of the cycle.
