===The Ceremony of the Rending of the Veil===

The Priestess is enthroned at the High Altar and the veil is closed. The Priest circumambulates the temple and he ascends to the veil. The officers give their orations, including the [[Calendar]] by the Deacon. The Priest then opens the veil and takes his place at the High Altar.
