January 30th
I have been very sick the past few days with a nasty cold. I came home from work early on Monday, stayed home Tuesday, and I’m only just starting to feel better these last few hours since I got home from work today. I am still very tired though. So, there won’t be much of a post today aside from the holy days. Imbolc begins tomorrow though, so there will be a much larger post then, when I will hopefully be much better.
January 30th
The Altar of Peace, Ara Pacis, is a monument dedicated on January 9, 30 BCE by the Senate. This event is commemorated with the Festival of Peace, held in honor of the Roman goddess Pax. Pax and Irene, both meaning “Peace,” became common names in the Roman world, and Pax was imprinted on coins.
Livia was born on the 30th of January 58 BCE. In 39 B.C.E., she married Octavian Augustus and was deified in the reign of Claudius, Julia Augusta.
In 1948, Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in New Delhi.
