Paganalia

In Italy, a movable festival of the old village communities (see Pagus), celebrated after the winter-sowing in January, on two days separated by an interval of a week. On this occasion a pregnant sow was sacrificed to Tellus or to Ceres, who, at a later period, was worshipped together with Tellus.
