- Saturnalia over:
- Then 25 December, Dies Natalis Dei Solis Invicti over (birthday of Sol, the Roman Sun God).
- For all those who celebrate it, then: Happy Roman New Year!
For me though (for Hindus in TN), today is tiruvadirai, aarudra darshanam. It's when Shiva got rid off andakaasuran. Woohoo.
Quote:The very important 7 day Roman festival of Saturnalia, held from the 17th to 24th December, was in honour of Saturn, their vegetation God.
