The mid-August holiday is an ancient feast, that already existed in Octavian Augustus' times; later, it coincided with the Christian celebration of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.In 18 B.C. the emperor Octavian Augustus instituted the mid-August feast to connect the celebrations of the month, thus creating a necessary and deserved period of rest after the fatiguing period of the harvest - other than for a kind of political self-promotion. During the "feriae Augusti" the draught animals were exempted from their work and dressed up with flowers decorations, while the workers brought their wishes to their chiefs, from whom they received extra tips. It's easy to imagine how these days were longed for in the whole empire: nowadays, anyway, the mid-August feast is a typically Italian celebration, to which the population of the boot is very attached, differently from the other nations.With the arrival of the Christianity, then, the 15th August took on a new significance: in that date, in fact, the Christian religion celebrates the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in the skies that, according to the Catholic dogma defined by Pope Pius XII on the 1st November 1950, would have ascended in...more
