Malachar’s Day
Malachar’s Day is the extra thirty-first day that comes after the three tendays in certain months of the Clora Fastis. A tenday, or septi, cannot last more than ten days, so this day stands outside them and is named in homage to Malachar, the god of luck.1
Beliefs
Common belief surrounds these days. It is said that time is frozen on them, that any task undertaken on such a day will end well, and that those who die on one are blessed by the god of luck.1
