liberalia
A Roman festival of freedom in honor of Dionysus. Ancient Roman teenagers used to offer the stubble of their first shave on this date, and older women lead phallic processions through the city.
In modern times, those who grow their hair long for Dionysus see this as the time to get a trim. Some people make phallic cakes, and others thank Dionysus, in his role as ‘Liber Pater’ (Father Freedom) for political, personal, and spiritual freedoms.
