CHARISTIA, or DIES CHARAE COGNATIONIS,

The Kinsmens Feast. This Feast was to be kept in the Month of Fe∣bruary in the Rustick Calendar, which still re∣mains at Rome upon an ancient Marble, but in Constantine's Time this Feast was called Charistia, which signifies the same thing. Valerius Maximus, L. 2. C. 1. N. 8. teaches us what it was:

Our Ancestors, says he, appointed a solemn Feast, which they called Charistia, in which none met but Kinsmen and near Relations, that if there were any Difference among them it might be ended most easily in the Mirth of a Feast,

Convivium etiam solemne majores instituerunt, id∣que Charistia apellaverunt, eui praeter cognatos & assines nemo interponebatur; ut si qua inter neces∣sarios querela esset orta, inter sacra mensae & inter hilaritatem animorum fautoribus concordiae adhibi∣tis tolleretur.

Ovid also may be consulted about this Day.
