Lenaia of Dionysus:
Leneia of Dionysus: Greek holy day. The Lenaia of Dionysus honored Dionysus Lenaius, God of fertility and wine. The name Lenaia comes from the Greek word lenai, which was a name for the female worshipers of Dionysus (more commonly called the Maenads). This was one of the lesser festivals in Athens and Ionia held in the month of Gamelion (approximately January). The festival particularly honored the youthful aspect of Dionysus following his rebirth after having been murdered by the Cyclopes (a possible source for the Jesus myth).
In Athens the festival was held in the Lenaion, a theatre possibly located in the Agora. By the 5th century B.C.E., plays were performed as a competition. In 440 B.C.E., comidy contests were added, typically five comedies (during the Peloponnesian War only three comedies were performed). Many of Aristophanes’ famous plays were first performed as part of this competition. The Lenaia was abandoned sometime after the 2nd century B.C.E.
In addition to the dramatic competition, there was a procession (pompe) and some kind of animal sacrifice led by religious officials, including the archon basilieus and the epimeletai. There may have been some connection to the Eleusian Mysteries.

Birch Moon
Day 11
The Celtic calendar started out as a moon calendar, but was aligned with the solar year during antiquity. Robert Graves proposed the Celtic tree calendar described here. While widely used by Neo-Pagans, many critics dispute the authenticity. The Beth-Luis-Nion calendar (the one used here) starts with New Year on the Winter Solstice. The Beth-Luis-Faern calendar starts with New Year on Samhain.
Each Celtic tree month (or moon) is named for a Celtic Ogham letter (first line above) and a tree (second line above). All of the Celtic months also had additional folk names (folk names for this month listed below).

Roman information
a.d. III Non. Ian.
3 days before the Nones of January
Month: Ianvarivs or Ianuarius or Januarius or Janus
The a.d. III Non. designation means ante diem or three “days before” the Nones (First Quarter Moon) of the month. When counting days, the Romans included both the start and end day (in modern Western culture, we skip the start day). When the Romans switched to a solar calendar, they continued to use the lunar day names.
The Roman month of January is named for Janus (Ianvs). January was sacred to Janus, the Roman God of gates, doors, and entrances. Janus was an early Italic sky god that long predated Rome. Ovid claimed that Janus said “The ancient called me chaos, for a being from of old am I.” Ovid also claimed that after the world’s creation, Janus said, “It was then that I, till that time a mere ball, a shapeless lump, assumed the face and members of a god.” Joannes of Lydia said, “Our own Philadelphia still preserves a trace of the ancient belief. On the first day of the month there goes in procession no less a personage than Janus himself, dressed up in a two-faced mask, and people call him Saturnus, identifying him with Kronos.” The beginning of each day, month, and year were sacred to Janus. The Romans believed that Janus opened the gates of heaven each day at dawn , letting out the monring, and closed the gates of heaven each day at dusk.
The earliest Roman months were lunar. According to Roman mythology, the ten month solar calendar aligned to the vernal equinox was introduced by Romulus, the founder of Rome, around 753 BCE. In Romulus’ calendar, January did not exist. Numa Pompilius, the second of the seven traditional kings of Rome, added two more months, for a 12 month year. In Numa’s calendar, January was added to the beginning of the year (following February) and had 29 days. Gaius Julius Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus (supreme bridge-builder, a religious title), reorganized the calendar on the first day of 45 BCE. In Caesar’s calendar (the Julian Calendar), January had 31 days and February was moved to after January. Caesar’s calendar was calculated by Sosigenes, an Egyptian astrologer/astronomer. In 8 BCE, Augustus Caesar fixed errors by pontiffs after Julius’ death and made other minor modifications, resulting in the modern Western calendar. The modern Gregorian Calendar, named for Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the Thirteenth, was a realignment in 1582. The Romans avoided giving January 30 days (skipping from 29 to 31) because of a superstitious dread of even numbers.
