December

December derives its name from the fact to be the 10th month of the king Numa's ancient calendar which begins on March. December represents the "depth", the origins and the beginning of Time. This is a very particular month focused essentially on the festivities and rites of Saturnalia and Divalia (dec. 21st). If Janus represents the beginning, Saturnus (to which December is dedicated) represents the "end".

Main festivities are:

1 december - Bona Dea
5 december - Faunalia
10 december - Janus' Agonalia
15 december- Consualia
17 december- Opalia
18 - 22 december- Saturnalia
21 december- Divalia
25 december- Sol Invictus
