La giornata del 21 dicembre is devoted to an ancient goddess, Angerona - Dea Dia, so old as to be almost eerie for the Romans themselves. The Day of the Dea Dia ritualizes a particularly important time of year: the winter solstice.
On this particular day that dies brevissimus (short day) open the Ianua Coeli or the Gates of Heaven (Golden Key of Janus) and the light returns to prevail over darkness. Restart the biological cycle of life.
The importance of the role of Dea Dia is given by the fact that in the temple of this goddess would meet the 19 or May 29, Arval Brothers (Arvales) to carry out important liturgies in favor of the Lares (Arvalia). Arval's dressed in white (the color that expresses sovereignty magic) through the ceremonies to the goddess Dia, the Lares and Mars (father and fertilization), affirming the bond of men in their land.
On this day, which marks the beginning of the Arval, then we remember our ancestors and descendants Lares or future: we are living the ring and then "present" in a long chain suspended between past and future.
The Lar Familiaris is "the soul of the family" whose symbol is the domestic fire, as in the case of Vesta (Vesta Mater).
home ceremony must take place after the sunset turned to the two images of the household Lares (represented the two polarities universal: male and female).
The greeting ceremony is as follows: PERPETUAL PRIVATE SACRED
MANENTI
Then you recite the ancient prayer (Semones) of the Arval Brothers: E
Nos Lases Ivvate (three times)
Snow Lve Marmar Rve Sins Incvurrere in Pleores (three times)
Satvr Fv Fere Mars Limen Sali Is Berber (three times)
Semvnis Alternei Advocapit Conctos (three times) and NOS
Ivvato Marmar (three times)
Trivmpe (five times)
Then you can enjoy a light meal-based di una minestra di farro, fave e lenticchie accompagnata da semplici focacce e vino.
Evitare tassativamente la carne.
