The Trial of Solitude is a high holy day for St. Jožka of Thallos the Bearer devoted to independence and personal strength. Worshippers undertake solitary challenges or retreats, focusing on their ability to thrive without reliance on others. Participants are expected to make a vow of silence for the day, so there are no sermons or stories specific to this High Trial Day. In some Gymnasiae, it is not uncommon for the brethren to "sing" lyric-less hymns a capella, using their voices as instruments for the hymn.
