FESTIVALS OF THE
ANCIENT GREEK RELIGION
HellenicGods.org
"And the Gods, pitying the toils which our race is born to undergo, have appointed holy festivals, wherein men alternate rest with labour; and have given them the Muses and Apollo, the leader of the Muses, and Dionysus, to be companions in their revels, that they may improve their education by taking part in the festivals of the Gods, and with their help." ( Νόμοι Πλάτωνος Book II 653 c-d, trans. Benjamin Jowett, 1892.)
The word festival in ancient Greek is æortí (eortê, ἑορτή ; plural is ἑορταί ). The word is inclusive of any kind of festivity, but we are using it in its religious sense. There is another word which also means festival, which is iæreia (iereia, ἱερεία ), which can also mean an animal sacrifice , as was performed in antiquity, but is inappropriate in modern times. In Ællinismόs (Hellenismos, Ἑλληνισμός ), the ancient Greek religion, the æortí is a special kind of holiday in which we celebrate something connected with a deity, such as their birthday. Sometimes the festivals celebrate a special time in the year, such as the solstices and equinoxes. The festivals always incorporate ritual, but they also involve a joyous celebration which may include a great meal and, hopefully, the participation of friends who love the Gods. There are numerous festivals throughout the year, such that in ancient times, it is believed that in Athens, as one example, most people only worked two-thirds of the year, the other third dedicated to the worship of the Gods.
The Hellenic religious day begins at sun-down. Therefore, it is appropriate to celebrate a holiday any time after sundown, the night before the date of the festival, until dusk the following day.
Adóhnia - Celebrated in spring, around the time of the Christian holiday of Easter (which actually "conceals" the ancient festival) is the Adóhnia (Adonia, Ἀδώνια ), a festival of Ádohnis (Adonis, Ἄδωνις ), Aphrodíti (Aphrodite, Ἀφροδίτη ), and Pærsæphóni (Persephone, Περσεφόνη ).
Ælaphivólia - a festival of Ártæmis (Artemis, Ἄρτεμις ).
Æpivatírion of Ártæmis – This is the birthday of Ártæmis (Artemis, Ἄρτεμις ) and it is celebrated on May 20, the day before Tharyília.
Amphidrómia - ( Ἀμφιδρόμια . Etym. ἀμφί "both sides" + δρόμος "walkway. Also called Δρομιάφιον .) The Amphidrómia is the naming festival when a child is first presented to friends and family. It can also be performed when an adult is given a Hellenic name in Ællinismόs (Hellenismos, Ἑλληνισμός ) and accepted into the religion and the community.
Anthæstíria is a sacred three-day festival of Diόnysos (Dionysus, Διόνυσος ) held, roughly, mid-February.
Arotreia – See Iærǽs Ároti .
Dikhominía - On the Dikhominía (Dichomenia, Διχομηνία ), the Full Moon, the Gates of Divinity are open, which means that the divine realm is particularly accessible on these days and in itself is reason enough for ritual. In addition, if a festival occurs near the Dikhominía, it is appropriate to move the ritual to this day.
Elaphebolia - See Ælaphivólia .
Iærǽs Ároti - (The Sacred Ploughings or Hieres Arotoi, Ἱερές Ἄροτοι ) The Sacred Ploughings are three mystic festivals of Athiná (Athêna, Ἀθηνᾶ ) celebrated in autumn, spring, and summer concerning both literal tillage but more significantly the cultivation of the soul.
Iliostasía - (Heliostasio, Ἡλιοστασία ) Solstice . The two solstices, December 21 and June 21, are sacred days. On these days the Gates of Divinity are open, meaning that the divine realm is more accessible on such days.
Iliouyænna - (Heliogenna, Ηλιούγεννα ) At the commencement of the month of Capricorn, just after December 21, we celebrate the birth of the Sun and the dawn of the solar year. In the Southern Hemisphere, this holiday is celebrated just after June 21.
Isimæría (Isêmeria, Ἰσημερία , singular) the Equinox . Ismæríai ( Ἰσημερίαι ) is plural: the Equinoxes . The Equinox of September 21 and the Equinox of March 21 are sacred days. On these days the Gates of Divinity are open, meaning that the divine realm is more accessible on such days. See New Year, Religious .
Kárneia - (Carneia, Κάρνεια ) a great festival of Apóllohn (Apollo, Ἀπόλλων ). This holiday is often associated with ancient Sparta and her colonies:
Khalkeia - This is the Hellenic Labor Day and a great festival of Íphaistos (Hephaestus, Ἥφαιστος ) and Athiná (Athêna, Ἀθηνᾶ ).
Krónia - (Cronia, Κρόνια ) The Krónia is a festival in honor of Krónos (Cronus, Κρόνος ) and Rǽa (Rhea, Ῥέα ) held, roughly, mid-July. Traditionally, offerings are made to Krónos, as the father or Zefs ( Ζεύς ), offerings of cookies in the shape of oxen, made of wheat flour and milk, symbolizing Earth and Water. The cookies are glazed with honey, and libations are made of honey, representing the Aithír (Ether or Aether, Αἰθήρ ) of immortality.

New Year, Religious – The Equinox on September 21 (regardless of which hemisphere you are in) marks the beginning of the Orphic year and the beginning of the month of Zygós (Libra, Ζυγός ) ruled by the Goddess Æstía (Hestia, Ἑστία ).
Nouminía - (Noumenia, Νουμηνία ) The Nouminía is the New Moon festival, celebrated on the day of the initial appearance of the Minískos (Mêniscus, Μηνίσκος ), the lunar crescent. It is the first day of the lunar month and, according to Ploutarkhos (Plutarch, Πλούταρχος ), the holiest ( Ἠθικά Πλουτάρχο υ 828a). In an interesting story told by Porphýrios (Porphyry, Πορφύριος ), the philosopher describes the practice of a certain Klǽarkhos, (Cléärchus, Κλέαρχος ), a most pious man who celebrated Nouminía in the following manner:
". he diligently sacrificed to them (ed. the Gods) at the proper times in every month at the new moon, crowning and adorning the statues of Hermes and Hecate, and the other sacred images which were left to us by our ancestors and that he also honoured the Gods with frankincense, and sacred wafers and cakes." ( On Abstinence From Animal Food Πορφυρίου , Book 2.16, trans.Thomas Taylor, 1823.)
If possible, we do ritual on the Nouminía, and in the body of the ritual we recite the ninth Orphic hymn, To Sælíni (Selene, Σελήνη ), the Moon. And we honor her with offerings of cakes and aromatic incense. It is also appropriate to honor Næomínios (Neomênius or Noumênius, Νεομήνιος ) Apóllohn and all the Thæí (the Gods, Θεοί ) and Íroæs (Heroes, Ἥρωες ) with like gifts and frankincense.
