CARISTIA

CARIS´TIAor CHARISTIAa Roman domestic feast, celebrated on viii. Kal. Mart. (Feb. 22). Following the DIES PARENTALES (Feb. 13-21) and FERALIA(Feb. 21), days sacred to the dead (Ov. Fast. 2.533 ff.; Mommsen-Marquardt, vi. (iii.), 283 note 6, 298), this festival was a day of rejoicing and thanksgiving for the survivors. None but relations and members of the same family were invited, and the opportunity was taken to reconcile any quarrel or disagreement that might have arisen among them (Val Max. 2.1.8). The derivation is from χαρίζομαι, to grant a favour or pardon; but caristia is the approved spelling, and Ovid seems to have connected the word with carus. (Ov. Fast. ii 617 ff.; Mart. 9.54, 55; Tertull. de Idolol. 10 Orell. Inscr. 2417; Kalend. Rust.; Mommsen-Marquardt, vi. (iii.) 125; Paley on Ov. and Mart. ll. cc.)

Caristia

or Charistia. A Roman family celebration held on February 22 (viii. Kal. Mart. ) following the Dies Parentales (February 13-21) and the Feralia (February 21), which days were sacred to the dead. The feast was a thanksgiving for the survivors. None but relatives were invited, and on this occasion quarrels and misunderstandings were ended; whence some derive the word Caristia from χαρίζομαι, but the better-approved spelling is against this view, and Ovid regards the word as connected with carus (Ovid, Fast. ii. 617).
