4.03 Roman Holidays

The term "holidays or “holy days” essentially means "hell" days or “heel” days, for they mark the time that the underworld (hell), experiences the wrath of the Roman Empire’s heel or boot. During Roman times, holy days were referred to as "Feriae" (F+R), meaning “Four” days or “Fear” days (i.e., the number 4 is a sacred Roman number and is most often depicted as a cross), as both animal and human alike were routinely slaughtered for sport and sacrafice. Roman holy days were defined by the Roman scholar and writer Marcus Terentius Varro as "days instituted for the sake of the gods”. Roman religious rites were performed on the “feriae”, public business was suspended, and slaves were to be given some form of rest.

Roman Calendar

According to modern historical sources, festivals in ancient Rome were an important part of Roman religious life and one of the primary features of the Roman calendar. The first days of each Roman month were allegedly entitled Kalends or Kalendae which is where the English word "calendar" was untimely derived from. The term Kalendae (K+L+N+D) meaning “Killing Day”, essentially morphed into the word “calendar” which can be translated literally to “Killing Day of Rome” as the letter “R” always equates to Rome. In other words, the Roman calendar was the schedule of killings which was celebrated with lavish feasts, ceremonies and public spectacles.

Roman Religion = Jewish Religion

Aside from the Hollywood films and television shows entitled “Roman Holiday” (1953) and “The Roman Holidays” (1972), Roman holy days are celebrated in the underworld in modern times by the Jewish people through their counterfeit religion of Judaism whose holy days reflects almost exactly, the dates, festivals, sacrifices and rituals of the Roman Empire. Although the names have been altered, the dates and meaning behind the two religions is the same and therefore the Jewish people unwittingly execute the Roman's dirty work in the underworld. Of the 12 major Jewish holidays (see list below), each one coincides in some way with a Roman holiday, regardless of the fact that the dates change from year to year. So unless the Jews are Romans, which they obviously are not, there is no explicable reason why over 90% of all Jewish holidays fall on Roman holidays and vice versa. In other words, unless the Romans designed the Jewish religion to mirror their own religion, down to every single date and detail, there is no logical explanation for this phenomenon. Therefore, in order to guarantee that Roman holy days are continually celebrated with human sacrifices (i.e., assassinations, terror attacks and war) in the underworld, the dates and meanings of the Jewish holy days must be exactly the same as the Romans, which they are. As the Bible verse Matthew 6:10 explains, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Greenland)". Star of David The Star of David, known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David, is widely recognized as the symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. It is shaped in the form of a hexagon, a 6-pointed star that is formed by the compound of two equilateral triangles. The number 6 is a favorite esoteric number of Rome which is most commonly associated with death and destruction. The name “David” (D+V+D) means "Divide" and the therefore the "Star of David" means the "Star of Steer of the Divide". In other words, the Jewish people are steered by Rome to keep the people divided amongst themselves, but more importantly, to keep the divide between upper Earth (Greenland) and the underworld (hell). The hexagon is significant because through the use and abuse of the Jewish people, Rome has effectively put a hex (curse) or a hoax on all of mankind. The two opposing triangles depicted in the Star of David (see below) can be taken quite literally as what is ordered by Rome in Greenland is reflected and executed in the underworld by the Jewish people through the main Roman proxy state of Switzerland.

Hanukkah

Hanukkah, widely known as the Feast of Dedication, is an 8-day Jewish holiday allegedly commemorating the rededication of the Holy Temple (e.g., the Second Temple) in Jerusalem, regardless of the fact that all aspects which pertain to temples and temple building (e.g., arches, columns, domes, etc.,) are Greco-Roman in nature. In reality, Hanukkah is likely a counterfeit Roman holyday created to commemorate the ceremonies, rituals and human sacrifices associated with Rome’s new temple in either Sicily (i.e., the Second Temple; the First Temple being built in either Crete or Athens, Greece) or the third and final temple which was built in Greenland (most likely Thule) just prior to the alleged fall of the Roman Empire. In 2013, the Jewish holy days of Hanukkah are celebrated on November 27-December 5. Coincidentally, the Roman temple ceremonies of Neptune and Pietas are held on December 1; the celebration of the Roman goddess Bona Dea are held on December 3; and the Roman country festival for Faunus held by the pagi is celebrated on December 5. In 2013, Hanukkah is celebrated on December 16-24. Coincidentally, Saturnalia, which is held in honor of Saturn with the public ritual on December 17 is celebrated by the Romans from December 17-23; the holy day of Opalia is celebrated in honor of the Roman god Ops on December 19; the Romans celebrate Divalia in honor of Angerona on December 21; the Roman sacrifice to Hercules and Ceres is also given on the December 21 which also coincides with the Winter Solstice (e.g., years 2013, 2014, 2016); the Roman anniversary of the Temple of the Lares Permarini in the Porticus Minucia is celebrated December 22, which also coincides with the Winter Solstice in 2015; the Roman holy day of Sigillaria, the last day of the Saturnalia which is devoted to gift (poison) giving, is celebrated a day later on December 23; Larentalia, which commemorates the Roman temples of Diana and Juno Regina in the Circus Flaminius is also celebrated on December 23; and finally, Tempestates, the Roman god of weather is also celebrated on December 23.

Hoshanah Rabbah

Hoshanah Rabbah is a Jewish holy day which is known as the “Last of the Days of Judgment”. In reality Hoshanah Rabbah is likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to mark the end of the so-called “Judgment” of Rome in the underworld. In order to successfully pull off the hoax of moving to Greenland unabated and unnoticed, a series of man-made wars, earthquakes, tsunamis and pandemics were executed by the Roman military against both Rome and her known enemies of the day. In 2013, Hoshanah Rabbah more or less coincides with the Southward Equinox (September 22-24) when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward. In 2014, Hoshanah Rabbah falls on October 14 which coincidentally marks the restoration of the Roman Temple of the Penates Dei on the Velian Hill.

Passover

The Passover is a 7-day Jewish festival held to commemorate the Jewish people’s alleged liberation over 3,300 years ago by God from slavery in ancient Egypt, as well as the birth of their nation under the leadership of Moses. In reality, the Passover is likely a counterfeit Roman holiday created to commemorate Rome’s liberation from the underworld by G.O.D. (Greenland of Denmark) as they “passed over” from the bottom side (the dark side) of the Earth to the top side (the sunny side). In 2013, the Jewish Passover is held from April 3-11 which coincidentally bookends the Roman games of Ludi Megalenses or Megalesia, which occurs on April 4-10 in honor of the Magna Mater or Cybele, a Greco-Roman goddess. In 2014, the Jewish Passover is held from April 14-22. Coincidentally, the Roman holy day of Fordicidia is celebrated with offering of a pregnant cow is sacrificed to Tellus ("Earth") on April 15, also known as “Tax Day” in America. Coincidentally, the modern holiday known as Earth Day is celebrated annually a week later on April 22. The Roman festival Parilia in honor of Pales and the dies natalis of Rome also falls within the 2014 Jewish Passover on April 21.

Purim

Purim is a holy day which celebrates the Jewish people's alleged victory over their enemies and commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people from a plot by the Persian Empire to destroy them. In reality, Purim is likely a counterfeit Roman holiday considering that the Jews were never at war with Persia, the Roman Empire was. The term Purim (P+R+M), which essentially means “Pure Rome”, is a Roman holy day dedicated to their final victory over the Persian Empire with whom they had been at fighting against for years during the Roman-Persian Wars. In 2013, Purim is held on February 23-24. Coincidentally, February 23 marks the Roman holy day of Terminalia which is held in honor of Terminus, as well as the Roman observance of Regifugium and the rituals of rex sacrorum which involves boots (shape of Italy) and an axe (fasces), two objects affiliated with Roman lore. In 2014, Purim is celebrated on March 15-16. Coincidentally, the Roman procession of the Argei is held annually from March 16–17. The Roman holy day of Feriae Iovi, sacred to the god of Jove or Jupiter, as well as the feast of the year to the goddess Anna Perenna are also celebrated on March 15.

Rosh Hashanah

Rosh Hashanah is a 2-day Jewish celebration known as the “Feast of Trumpets” and is the first of the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe") and is believed to be the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. Rosh Hashanah customs include sounding the shofar (a hollowed-out ram's horn) and eating symbolic foods such as apples dipped in honey to evoke a "sweet new year". In reality, Rosh Hashanah is likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to celebrate the “Feast of the Triumphants” and the creation of a “dam” to block the “eve” or night of the underworld. The blowing of the ram’s horn, or Rome’s horn (the symbol of Rome is a Ram), and the eating of sweets signifies Rome’s triumphant victory over mankind while they enjoy the fruits and comforts in the “high holy land” of Greenland. In 2013, the Jewish holy day of Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on September 4-6. Coincidentally, the Ludi Romani or Ludi Magni, "the oldest and most famous" of the Roman games, were held annually on September 5-19. In 2014, Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on September 24-26. The anniversary of the Temple of Venus Genetrix vowed by Julius Caesar is celebrated on September 26, which generally coincides with the the Southward Equinox (September 22-24). In 2015, Rosh Hashanah is celebrated on September 13-15. Coincidentally, the anniversary of the Temple to Jupiter Optimus Maximus as well as the Epulum Iovis, a sumptuous ritual feast offered to Jove, was celebrated by Rome on September 13.

Shavuot

Shavuot is a 2-day Jewish holy day celebration which allegedly commemorates the anniversary of the day that God gave the Torah to the entire nation of Israel while assembled atop Mount Sinai. In reality, Shavuot is a likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to mark the anniversary of the first year that the entire nation of the Romans Empire was present atop Mt. Zion/Mt. Olympus in Greenland. Torah (T+R+H) meaning “To Rome Forever”, was likely the exact words toasted in celebration of Rome’s final victory over mankind. In 2013, the Jewish holy day of Shavuot is celebrated on May 14-16. Coincidentally, the anniversary of the Temple of Mars Invictus as well as the second procession of the Argei are celerated by Rome on May 14. The Roman holy day of Mercuralia, which is celebrated in in honor of Mercury, Feriae of Jove, is celebrated by Rome on May 15. In 2014, Shavuot is celebrated on June 3-5. Coincidentally, the anniversary of the Temple of Bellona is celebrated by Rome on June 3; the Roman anniversary of the restoration of the Temple of Hercules Custos is celebrated by Rome on June 4; and the Roman anniversary of the Temple of Dius Fidius is celebrated by Rome on June 5. In 2015, Shavuot is celebrated on May 23-25. Coincidentally, holy day of the second Tubilustrium; Feriae for Volcanus (Vulcan), is celebrated by Rome on May 23; the holy day of QRCF, which follows Tubilustrium, is celebrated by Rome on May 24; and the anniversary of the Temple of Fortuna Primigenia is celebrated by Rome on May 25.

Shemini Atzeret

Shemini Atzeret is a Jewish holy day rooted in “duality” which features a “prayer for rain (reign)” or Geshem. The term Geshem (G+S+H+M) means “Greenland System Forever M”, the letter M of which equates to “Empire” and the number 13 which is indicative of the 13 bloodlines of Rome. Therefore, in reality, Shemini Atzeret is likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to celebrate the duality of Greenland over the underworld and the they pray for a continued reign of terror over mankind. In 2012, Shemini Atzeret, is celebrated on October 7 which is coincidentally the same date that Rome celebrates the day of rites for Jupiter Fulgur and Juno Curitis. In 2014, Shemini Atzeret is celebrated on October 15 which is coincidentally the same date that Rome celebrates October Horse in which a blood sacrifice is given to Mars in the Campus Martius and the Feriae of Jupiter. In 2015, Shemini Atzeret is celebrated on October 4 which is coincidentally the same date of Ieiunium Cereris, a Roman day of fasting in honor of Ceres which was instituted in 191 B.C. as a quinquennial observance.

Simchat Torah

Simchat Torah is a Jewish holiday which celebrates and marks the conclusion of the annual cycle as well as the beginning of a new cycle. In reality Simchat Torah is likely a counterfeit Roman holiday created to celebrate the end of the Roman “kill” or “cull” cycle. The term “cycle” (C/K+C/K+L) means “Kill Kill Line” or “Line of 33”, which originated on the Island of Crete, as did most other things Roman. In 2012, Simchat Torah is celebrated on October 7 which is coincidentally the same date that Rome celebrates the rites for the god of Jupiter which is represented by a lightning bolt and an eagle, the most common symbols of the Roman army. October 7 is also the same date that Rome celebrates the goddess of Juno which represents the fullness of vital force. In essence, Simchat Torah is a day which celebrates the endless cycle of war.

Sukkot

Sukkot, known as the “Feast of Tabernacles”, is a mandated Jewish festival which allegedly commemorates when the Hebrews were commanded to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem. In reality, Sukkot is likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to celebrate the mandate by Rome to all of its chosen people to make the pilgrimage from the underworld to Greenland in order to escape the aforementioned Days of Judgment which were slated to befall the underworld. The term “Sukkot” (S+K+T) likely means “System Military Base”, as KT is the name of a Roman military base. In all likelihood, Sukkot was a mandate by Rome to all of its top military personal located around the world to instantly retreat back to Rome. Once there, they made the voyage to Greenland where they have waged war on humanity ever since. In 2012, Sukkot was celebrated by the Jews on September 30-October 8. Coincidentally, the Roman ceremonies for Fides and the Tigillum Sororium are celebrated on October 1 while the Roman Ludi Augustales, which was established 14 AD after the death of Augustus and based on the Augustalia, is celebrated on October 3-12. The Leiunium Cereris, a day of Roman fasting in honor of Ceres is celebrated on October 4; the Roman mundus (tomb) was opened on October 5; and the Roman holy day entitled dies ater ("black day") to mark the anniversary of the battle of Arausio (105 BC) is celebrated on October 6; In 2012, Sukko also celebrated on October 7 which is coincidentally the same date that Rome celebrates the rites for the god of Jupiter which is represented by a lightning bolt and an eagle, the most common symbols of the Roman army. October 7 is also the same date that Rome celebrates the goddess of Juno which represents the fullness of vital force. In essence, Simchat Torah is a day which celebrates the endless cycle of war. In 2013, Sukkot is celebrated on September 18-28. Coincidentally, the Ludi Romani or Ludi Magni, "the oldest and most famous" of the Roman games, were held annually on September 5-19, while the “mercatus" and “Latona” set aside for markets and fairs commenced immediately following the Ludi Romani is celebrated on September 20–23.

Tisha B'Av

Tisha B'Av is a Jewish holy day which allegedly commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Jewish people from the Land of Israel. In reality, Tisha B'Av is likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to celebrate the destruction of the Rome’s temples in Greece and Sicily which were destroyed in order to sell the hoax to the world that the Roman Empire had been militarily defeated while they secretly escaped to Greenland. The exile of the Jews is also direct reference to exile of the Romans from Rome, home to the gods of Isis, Ra and El, otherwise known as “Israel”. Once in Greenland, the aforementioned Greco-Roman gods were exiled to the underworld along with Greece and Rome as the Romans adopted new gods representative of Greenland as depicted in Norse and Viking mythology. In 2012, the Jews celebrate Tisha B'Av on July 28. Coincidentally, the Roman Ludi, Victoriae Caesaris "Games of the Victorious Caesar", are held annually on July 20-30. In 2013, the Jews celebrate Tisha B'Av on July 15-16. Coincidentally, the Roman holy day entitled Transvectio equitum, which features a procession of cavalry as a display of military force, is held on July 15. In 2014, Tisha B'Av is celebrated on August 4-5. Coincidentally, a Roman public sacrifice (sacrificium publicum) was held at the Temple of Salus on the Quirinal on August 5.

Tu Bishvat

Tu Bishvat, a Jewish holy day meaning “New Year of the Trees”, appears to be another counterfeit Roman holy day masked for Jewish consumption. The term “trees” is indicative of “tri” or “three”, for Greenland marks the third and final home of Rome (i.e., the first being the Island of Crete and the second being the Island of Sicily). "Tu" stands for the Hebrew letters Tet and Vav, which together have the numerical value of 9 and 6. As documented, the numnbers 6 and 9 are favorite esoteric numbers of the Romans and where the chosen dates for the twin nuclear attack on Japan in World War II. (i.e., August 6 and 9, 1945). In 2013, Tu Bishvat falls on January 26. Coincidentally, the Sementivae, a Roman feriae conceptivae of sowing (sowing seeds), also known as the Paganalia, is celebrated on January 24-26. Once again, Roman and Jewish holidays are identical in subject matter and even fall on the same dates.

Yom Kippur

Yom Kippur is a Jewish holiday celebrated on "the tenth day of [the] seventh month" (Tishrei) and is regarded as the "Sabbath of Sabbaths". Yom Kippur completes the annual period known in Judaism as the High Holy Days or Yamim Nora'im ("Days of Awe") that commences with Rosh Hashanah. The seventh month in the Roman calendar is known as Libra, and therefore the tenth day of Libra equates to September 25 which happened to mark the first day of Yom Kippur in 2012. Interestingly, the Jewish holy days known as Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret also fell on September 25 in 2013. In reality, Yom Kippur is likely a counterfeit Roman holy day created to celebrate Rome’s “Shock and Awe” military tactics as witnessed ancient as well as modern pandemics, terror attacks, wars and so called “accidents” such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. In 2013, Yom Kippur was celebrated by the Jews on September 13-17. Coincidentally, the Roman cavalry parade known as “Equorum probation”, meaning "Approval of the Horses", is held on September 14. In 2014, Yom Kippur is celebrated on October 3-4. Coincidentally, the Roman Ludi Augustales, which was established in 14 A.D. after the death of Augustus and based on Augustalia, is celebrated on October 3-12, while Ieiunium Cereris, a Roman day of fasting in honor of Ceres is celebrated on October 4. In 2015, Yom Kippur is celebrated on September 22-23. Coincidentally, the Roman anniversary of the rededication of the Temple of Apollo in the Campus Martius is celebrated on September 23, which appears to have been created to coincide with the Southward Equinox (September 22-24).

Roman-Jewish Holy Days

Although the Jews use the Hebrew calendar and the Romans use a 13-month lunar calender, over 90% of their respective holy days occur on the date in the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, it can only be concluded that Roman holy days are in fact Jewish holy days and vice versa.
