This festival celebrated the 30th year of a pharaoh's rule. This festival was celebrated every 3 years until the pharaoh's death. Often they celebrated with temple rituals, offerings, and raising of the adjed, the spine of a bovine(cow) that represented the pharaoh's strength. There was a feast held in the pharaoh's honor.
