On Feb 10-12 we have a 3-day festival for Dionysos to celebrate flowers, opening the new wines, the marriage of Dionysos & Ariadne, & a rite of passage for children who have reached 3 years old. The last day was a khthonic day for the dead. Sacrifices were made to Dionysos, Hermes Khthonios, likely Ariadne, & the heroes Ikarios, his daughter Erigone, & their dog Maira. On Feb 19-25* is the Festival for Persephone said to be founded by Herakles & preliminary initiation for the Greater Mysteries later in the year. Focused on purification, education, & Persephone’s myths. On February 22 we have the Festival for khthonic snake-formed Zeus Melichios, a purifier & bringer of wealth. Families picknicked outside the city solemnly while kids played & got toys from the many vendors. Sacrifices made for Apollon Lykaios, Demeter, & Zeus and Athena of the City. Detailed version of this month's calendar found on www.paian.org Attic Festival Calendar 2024-2025, Olympiad 700.4

It's Lenaia!

I don't have a community to celebrate with, so my plans include listening to musicals, reading some ancient Greek plays, and drinking (non-alcoholic)!!

How are y'all celebrating?
