Add article description

KTU 1.41 or the Ugaritic Vintage Rites (CAT 1.87 COS 1.95) describe an extensive Ugaritic ritual. It may have been a new year's event.[1] Twice-attested, it was likely canon. It's something of a new moon, New Year occasion like the Hebrew Feast of Wine.[2] The "Lady of the temples" refers to the goddess, but as written it could also entail respect for the human priestess of her house.

Lyrics

1 In the month of Rišn

2 On to the new moon, cutting the grape cluster

3 To Il - šlmm offerings

4 On the thirteenth, the pure king bathes himself

5 On the fourteenth: First of the tribute

6 And two small animals for the Lady of the temples,

7 Birds for the staff of gods
