Anna Perenna & Purim

Saturday 15th March in Roman tradition was the celebration of Anna Perenna. Offerings were made to the Spirit of the Year, so that the circle could be completed. 15th March is also the Ides of March in Roman tradition and a Festival to Jupiter. Shakespeare had a soothsayer warn Julius Caesar 'Beware the Ides of March' and indeed he was reputedly assassinated on 15th March 44 BC.

Saturday 15th March (sunset) until Sunday 16th March (sunset) is also the Jewish Ceremony of Purim. This is the Spring Carnival celebrating the averting of a Persian Massacre. It is traditional to have a feast and dress up in costumes and masks.

Muktad

Tuesday 11th March is Fasli Zoroastrian Muktad, which in Sanskrit, means liberated soul. This Festival takes place in the final 10 days of the Zoroastrian Year. During these 10 days, the spirit of departed souls come down on earth and ceremonies are performed with offerings of beautiful flowers and fruit for deceased family members & friends, prayers are recited. The last five days are known as the Gathas, which are the holiest times of the year.

International Women's Day

Saturday 8th March is International Women’s Day. This is a designated day to celebrate the empowerment of women worldwide- see this informational website.

Ploiaphesia

Wednesday 5th March is Ploiaphesia Egyptian Festival of Navigation. This was when one of the most important festivals of the Egyptian Goddess Isis was celebrated, the Ploiaphesiaor Navigium Isidis (Ship of Isis). The festival marked the opening of the safe sailing season after the stormy weather of winter had passed. A statue of Isis was carried in procession from her temple down to the harbour, where a specially-built ship was moored. The ship would then be loaded with offerings and dedicated to the Goddess, before being launched and carried out to sea by the wind. The festival is described by Apuleius in his Metamorphoses (also known as the Golden Ass). To participate you can enjoy the energy of water and celebrate with processions, lights, mirrors, music and flowers.

Ash Wednesday

Wednesday 5th March is Ash Wednesday. Although Ash Wednesday is generally said to have been named after the tradition of burning away old issues in preparation for Lent, there was apparently another tradition of placing a stick of Ash down one's sock for good luck!
