Today's Festival
Today we celebrated the Kheimonia at HTAZP, a modern festival that combines many festivals that were traditionally held at this time of year. We honored Helios and Selene on the shortest day of the year as the nights begin to grow shorter and the days longer. We honored Zeus for the Pompaia, Pan for the Dendraia, Demeter for the Haloa, Dionysos for the Rural Dionysia, and Poseidon for the Poseidea.
The Dion Kodion was processed through the temple space and each of the Gods honored in turn. Feast offerings included heart warmer sandwiches (chicken, bacon, and cheese baked into marble rye) and berry pie, with libations of sparkling blueberry-grape juice and root beer.
Due to scheduling issues, the Haloa/Rural Dionysia portion of the festival will be continued next week.
