Ritual of Passing
From Farscape Encyclopedia Project
A ritual used by Luxan Oricans when they are about to die. An emotional and spiritual link is forged between the Orican and her attendant, who must be of Luxan descent as well. (It is unknown whether or not a half-Luxan could participate instead.) As the Orican dies, the attendant sanctifies the ascent by transferring energy to her. This is, however, a risky ritual to participate in; should the attendant give up too much energy or the Orican take too much, then the attendant will die as well as the Orican. This danger, along with the sacred status of all Oricans, makes participation in the Ritual of Passing the highest honor that can be bestowed upon any Luxan.
