===Holidays=== As Antoine decided to model Antoinist holidays on Catholicism, followers celebrate [[Christian holidays]], including [[All Saints' Day|All Saints]], [[Christmas]], [[Easter]], [[Easter Monday]] and [[Feast of the Ascension|Ascension]]; on these days, appropriate portions of Antoine's works are read during the services. There are also three special days in Antoinism, and attendance at worship is generally higher at these moments:<ref name="Deric2002"/><ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 93.</ref> (1) 25 June, the Father's Day. It was established by Antoine's wife shortly after his death. At first, from 1913, all the temples except the one in Jemeppe were closed that day in the purpose that followers came to attend the ceremony in that city.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], p. 220.</ref> So many Antoinists performed a pilgrimage to Jemeppe-sur-Meuse to participate in a procession through the city which outlined the main events of Antoine's life. The procession was withdrawn in 1937 and the pilgrimage seems to be no longer organized. That day, the faithful pay homage to the founder in the temples.<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 91.</ref> (2) 15 August, the consecration of the temple's Day, which commemorates the consecration of the first temple. In 1911, on that day, the General Operation took place at the temple, then the ceremony continued into a public hall, which shocked followers; therefore, the following year, the whole ceremony took place exclusively in the temple.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay2|Debouxhtay, 1934]], pp. 226,227.</ref> (3) 3 November, the Mother's Day, as anniversary of Catherine's death.
