A Gratitude Festival banner
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 BCE.
Traditions
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.
Celebration
In 2369, Benjamin Sisko had hoped to make a three-day trip to Bajor with his son Jake Sisko to attend the Gratitude Festival and visit the fire caves. (DS9: "The Nagus")
