The Paganalia is a movable feast honoring Tellus and Ceres that is held in January when the rural community has finished sowing seeds for the winter crop. (It may be the same festival as the Sementivae.) It was held on two days in January a week apart. On the first day, a pregnant sow was sacrificed to Tellus, the mother earth. On the second day, spelt cakes were offered to Ceres, the goddess of agriculture. In addition, little swinging figures or masks representing the faces of Liber, Bacchus, or other deities connected with the cultivation of the soil were hung from the trees and vines. These oscilla were likely linked to lustration by the purifying with air. Then the plow was put away until spring, and the cattle rested in their stalls.
