Julian 2003 Feb 16 — LVPERCALIA
PARENTALIA IV — ANTE DIEM XIV CALENDAS MARTIS MMDCCLVI A.V.C
Explanation
of various calendars
-The first half of the day,
the morning, being dies fastis and belonging to the Lupercalia celebration,
and the afternoon or evening being dies nefastis, and belonging to the Quirinalia.
It is therefore a day sacred to both Mars, as Romulus, and Juno, the female
counterpart of Jupiter. The celebration of both ancestors and fertility continued
on this day.
Juno, also called Saturnia and known as Hera
by the Greeks, was the daughter of Cronus (Saturn) and regarded as a paragon
of motherly virtues. She was the divinity of sacred marriage and childbirth,
and was prone to violent wrath at every violation of her marriage bed with
Zeus.
