prayvaganzas
A portmanteau of ‘prayer’ and ‘extravaganza’ coined by Margaret Atwood in “The Handmaid’s Tale” to describe the Commander-led mass prayer meetings held in the Republic of Gilead emphasizing the new world order which sometimes incorporate mass wedding ceremonies involving adult men and adolescent girls.
There is a quality to the prayvaganzas that is eerily similar to some church services I have attended.
