The renewal scroll was a component of the Bajoran religious ceremony known as the Gratitude Festival. Anyone could write their problems on a scroll. At the festival, these scrolls were burned in a ceremonial fire, which was symbolic in the Bajoran faith of putting one's troubles in the past. The Bajoran people believed the Prophets aided them in this process of overcoming past difficulties. (DS9: "Fascination")
