Description
"Rusalii" - "Rosalia, the festival of roses" - the pagan Slavic festival from the ancient Romans, dedicated to the rite of remembrance of the ancestors, which later became a Christian holiday.In the ancient and old times Rusalii's dancesΒ were performed by young men dressed in white feminine clothes, with flower wreaths, decorated with colored ribbons. It was believed that their dancing relieve people from misfortune and disease.
I think it was an echo of pagan times, when ritual dances were performed by eunuchs or men dressed in women's clothes, since it was believed that to communicate with spirits and deities one should rise above the conditioned world, reincarnating into androgynous being. Neither a man nor a woman, being between two sexes and between the two worlds, earthly and heavenly, such a person had to adhere to physical and spiritual purity.
Remember the exact same angels who have no physical sex, beautiful and pure spirits of heaven, which the eunuchs of Byzantium, and later, eunuchs in Russia, tried to be like.
Close up.
P. S. He is a man! ^^

Beautiful and art and very interesting ritual. Here in Palermo, the sicilian city where I live, we have Saint Rosalia, our patreon saint. She is rapresented as a young girl with long hair and a crown of roses on her head, and we celebrate her festival on July with one of the most famous firework festival in Europe. The fireworks represent the blooming flowers, and pepole eat and dance all night. It is fascinatin how old traditions evolve during the centuries, from one religion to another and from one Country to another

Ai gresit in descriere, rusaliile sunt iele, nu au treaba cu trandafirii.
