The Yom Kippur Race of the Kohen Gadol

Following the instructions in the Mishna to create a race where the children have to dress to go into the Holy of Holies and the instructions that the high priest had to follow after exiting the Holy of Holies.

Twice during this exalted day, the Kohen Gadol would remove the eight priestly garments he wore during his service in the Beit Hamikdash all year long, immerse in a mikvah and don the four special white linen garments that were used only on Yom Kippur to enter the Kodesh Hakodashim.

(ד) קדש ידיו ורגליו ופשט וירד וטבל ועלה ונסתפג. הביאו לו בגדי לבן, ולבש, וקדש ידיו ורגליו. נכנס להוציא את הכף ואת המחתה. קדש ידיו ורגליו, ופשט וירד וטבל, עלה ונסתפג. הביאו לו בגדי זהב ולבש, וקדש ידיו ורגליו, ונכנס להקטיר קטרת של בין הערבים ולהטיב את הנרות, וקדש ידיו ורגליו, ופשט. הביאו לו בגדי עצמו, ולבש. ומלוין אותו עד ביתו. ויום טוב היה עושה לאוהביו בשעה שיצא בשלום מן הקדש.

He went inside to remove the ladle and coal-pan, washed his hands and feet... Then, they brought him his gold garments, he dressed, washed his hands and feet, and went into the sanctuary to burn the afternoon incense and light the lamps. He washed his hands and feet...

And he would make a feast for those close to him, for having exited the Holy [of Holies] in peace.
