Valentines Day Quotes - Quote 3 - In All The World
- 2 years ago
Members of the Luperci, a Roman priestly order, would congregate in a holy cave where the children Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were said to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa, to begin the festival.
A goat would be sacrificed for fertility, and a dog would be sacrificed for cleansing.
They would then peel the goat's skin into strips, immerse them in the sacrificial blood, then slap both women and crop fields with the goat hide.
Rather of being afraid of the contact of the skins, Roman women welcomed it since it was thought to make them more pregnant in the next year.
Legend has it that later in the day, all of the city's young ladies would sign their names in a large urn.
Each of the city's bachelors would pick a name and be partnered with his preferred wife for the year.
These encounters frequently resulted in marriage.
