In ancient Roman religion, the Furrinalia (or Furinalia) was an annual festival held on 25 July to celebrate the rites (sacra) of the goddess Furrina. Varro notes that the festival was a public holiday (feriae publicae dies). Both the festival and the goddess had become obscure even to the Romans of the Late Republic; Varro (mid-1st century BC) notes that few people in his day even know her name. One of the fifteen flamines (high priests of official cult) was assigned to her, indicating her archaic stature, and she had a sacred grove (lucus) on the Janiculum, which may have been the location of the festival. Furrina was associated with water, and the Furrinalia follows the Lucaria (Festival of the Grove) on 19 and 21 July and the Neptunalia on 23 July, a grouping that may reflect a concern

  • I Furrinalia (o Furinalia) erano un'antica festività romana che si teneva il 25 luglio per celebrare i culti (sacra) della dea Furrina. Era una festa pubblica, ma sia la celebrazione che la dea avevano dei punti oscuri anche ai Romani dell'epoca; Varrone, che visse nella prima metà del I secolo a.C., riferisce che al suo tempo pochi ne conoscessero anche solo il nome. Uno dei quindici flamini di Roma (sommi sacerdoti del culto ufficiale), il flamine furrinale, le era preposto, indicando la sua importanza in epoca arcaica, ed un boschetto sacro, il Lucus Furrinae, le era dedicato ai piedi del Gianicolo, dove si dovevano tenere i culti. Dal momento che Furrina era associata con l'acqua e che i Furrinalia seguivano i Lucaria (festa dei boschi), tenuti dal 19 al 21 luglio ed i Neptunalia del 23 luglio, si può ipotizzare che le festività servissero a scongiurare la siccità.

  • De Furinalia waren Romeinse festivals ingesteld ter ere van Furina, de godin van de rovers onder de Romeinen. Ze vonden plaats op 25 juli. Deze godheid had een tempel te Rome en haar eredienst werd verzorgd door een bijzondere priester, die een van de vijftien Flamens was. Nabij de tempel was er een heilig woud, in welk Gaius Sempronius Gracchus zijn einde vond. Marcus Tullius Cicero vereenzelvigt haar met de Furiën. (nl)
  • Фуріналії (лат. Furrinalia або лат. Furinalia) — свято у Стародавньому Римі, що відзначалося 25 липня на честь Фурріни (Furrina) — богині грабіжників у римлян. Ця богиня мала також храм у Римі на південно-західних схилах Янікула, де служив окремий жрець і який був одним з п'ятнадцяти Фламінів. Поруч з храмом було священне дерево, біля якого був убитий Гай Гракх. Цицерон вважав її одною з фурій . (uk)
