Wordless Wednesday and About.com's Wordless Wednesday

In ancient history this was the Dies sanguinis 'day of blood', possibly a precursor of Good Friday. A 9-day fast preceded the Dies sanguinis. On the 22 of March, a procession of palms or a pine tree was brought to the shrine of Cybele so that the pine could be worshiped as a god. Two days later, at the Day of the Blood, the priests of Cybele slashed themselves and spun around to sprinkle her statue with blood. Afterwards, the priests washed the statue in the Almo River, a Tiber tributary.
