Definitely one of the stranger celebration days but so much fun never the less!  Lupercalia is an ancient fesival of the Romans celebrated around 400 AD in which the priest of two colleges of “Luperci” could gather at the “Lupercal.”  This cave was the one where the Goatherder Faustulus found Romulus and Remus being suckled by a she-wolf.  At the celebration, two youths from noble families would be brought forward and smeared with the blood of sacrificed young goats before being washed clean with wool soaked in goats’ milk before attending a large feast.

This type of celebration would be frowned upon in our current day and age, but we can still have the fun of the celebration with some amazing works featuring the famed goat from the talented hands of handmade artists!
