On March the 1st the Sacred Year begins
During this day, the Sacred Fire of Vesta, which has continuously burnt in the last year, was put out and a new sacred fire was lighted for the next year.
This rite celebrated the Re-lighting of the Energy of Life. Symbolically we do the same today: we put out a fire to be re-lighted to synbolize the beginning of the new year with a new revitalizing force.
In this day also the Matronalia begins. This festivity is dedicated to Iuno and to solidity and prosperity of the Family. In particular this festivity is dedicated to Iuno Lucina (She Gives Birth) or Iuno protecting birth (delivery)
In this day it is better not to have knots because considered "impediments" to our regeneration.
