Saturnalia was a Roman holiday. It’s celebration brought a halt to all business and instead the populace turned to feasting and merrymaking for up to a whole week.pic.twitter.com/34D4ijWrZh
One of the more interesting aspects is that the slaves of Rome were treated as equals during Saturnalia, temporarily “free” to do as they wish.
saturnalia et sigillaricia were the original “Christmas presents” small gifts exchanged at parties or after saturnalia rituals.

Saturn, aka Kronos was an agricultural Roman god, a primordial deity who ruled the world before the ‘modern’ pantheon. His reign was in the golden age and Saturnalia hearkens back to this with its celebrations.pic.twitter.com/UkG5r6TAXZ
Bumping this because @WesternIdentity just published his article on Saturn
