Ash Wednesday?
In the Old Testament
ashes were found to have used for two purposes:
as a sign of humility
and mortality;
and
as a sign of sorrow and repentance for sin.
The Christian
connotation for ashes in the liturgy of Ash Wednesday
has also been
taken from this Old Testament biblical custom./
Christians believe
that
because of the cross,
Jesus Christ is the only way
to remove sin.
John
14:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him,
I am the way, the
truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
February 14th
As my regulars
will tell you,
This house
ignores this
evil occult run Roman holiday!
We go out a few days
before
and
where ever she chooses to go,
whenever she chooses to go.
St, Roman Lupercalia
Day ( Valentine’s Day)
A few days after
this occult day,
we go out to whenever
I choose to go,
where I chose to go.
P.S.
I always pick my
birthday
because it is just a few day's later.
The Roman
Festival of Lupercalia
February, or
February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman
god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
To begin the
festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a
sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were
believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would
sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then
strip the goat’s hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take
to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide.
Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it
was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year.
Later in the day,
according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in
a big urn. The city’s bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for
the year with his chosen woman.
These matches often ended in marriage.
around A.D.
270–others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St.
Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize”
the pagan celebration of Lupercalia.
Celebrated at the ides of February,
or
February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman
god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
