As the rites in Apollo Delphi was over, they were leaving Miletus through the Holy Gate and setting up to the Sacred Road, to Didyma. This ceremonial walk used to take 4 days before they reach to the temple of Apollon in Didyma. They would offer sacrifices to Apollon in front of the sacred quarters. After a final holy ceremony in the Apollon temple the annual worship would end. The whole ceremony was conducted under the leadership of a family of priests. During the time of Theodasius (395 A.C.), oracling was forbidden in the temple of Apollon. |

The
scientific knowledge about the cult in Didyma is not much. All we know is the
information obtained from a marble stele which was written in the 2nd century
B.C. found in Delphi of Miletus. According to the writings, they used to make
one major ceremonial worship once a year in spring.
