Antinous the Gay God

🪷 #Solstice #Brumalia #Saturnalia: December 24th is the end of the four-week Ancient Roman #Brumalia winter solstice festival honouring #Saturn/#Cronus and #Ceres/#Demeter. The Brumalia festival included night-time feasting and merriment. During this time, oracles were taken. Brumalia festivities ended on 24 Dec, ushering in the Saturnalia and the "Waxing of the Light". (Our photo shows a festively decorated Antinous bust by #SandraGore which she calls the "Ghost of Christmas Present.") 🪷

Erotic Mythology 🌹

It's the #DayOfHelios / Sol's Day / #Sunday! ☀️

Last night was the longest night of the year in Greece, so #Helios had his shortest work day.

"At the winter solstice, the sun would seem to be a little child like that which the Egyptians bring forth from a shrine on the appointed day, since the day is then at its shortest and the god is accordingly shown as a tiny infant."
Macrobius, #Saturnalia

Solstice came early ~ Happy reason for the season - welcome, Winter! We respect you & have prepared for you with appropriate celebration & feasts (Saturnalia). Let us survive these shortest days of the year, and count the weeks 'til Spring.

A picture of a fire escape and “backyard” view of the rear of buildings facing the next block, a couple of snowy trees, and New York City high rises in the background. The fire escape is covered in snow, but through the railings, the rest of the scene is visible.
