Apollo 1st Quarter Lunar Worship 

It was often identified as the first quarter of the moon's cycle, occurring around the seventh or eighth day of the lunar month. It was linked to Apollo and was considered a holy day, sometimes noted as a day for the "first quarter" of the moon's visibility. 

Association with Apollo: The first quarter was a sacred time, especially associated with the god Apollo.

Lunar month: The first quarter was the point at which the moon was a quarter of the way through the month's cycle, occurring around the 7th or 8th day.

Part of a larger cycle: It followed the "Noumenia" (the first day) and the "Agathos Daimon" (the second day), which were important observances at the beginning of the lunar month.
