Happy Lupercalia!

May you have all the fertility / whips for kicks you wish for! 🩸

A very ancient religious festival in ancient Rome. This is the entry in William Smith's <I>Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities</I>.

Lupercalia was once a Roman custom from February 13-15 to promote fertility. Animal sacrifices were made and women would place their names in an urn while men would draw a name and pair off with their match. The tradition soon became out of practice once Christianity grew stronger in Rome.
