	[No title]
		In Rome the Arval brothers, an ancient priestly college, danced the tripodatio, a solemn stamping of the earth to ensure the fertility of the fields, arva.

	Iceland - LoveToKnow 1911
		The year was broken by the spring feasts and moots, the great Althing meeting at midsummer, the marriage and arval gatherings after the summer, and the long yule feasts at midwinter.
		There were but two degrees of men, free and unfree, though only the franklins had any political power; and, from the nature of the life, social intercourse was unrestrained and unfettered; gon and thrall lived the same lives, ate the same food, spoke the same tongue, and differed little in clothing or habits.
		The latter, Laurentius Saga Biskups, by his disciple, priest Einar Haflidason, is a charming biography of a good and pious man, whose chequered career in Norway and Iceland is picturesquely told (1324-1331).

	BookRags: Arval Brothers Summary
		The first day was celebrated in Rome, in the house of the president of the brotherhood, and consisted of a banquet eaten in the presence of the goddess during which the priests passed from hand to hand dried and green ears of grain as well as loaves of bread crowned with laurel.
		The rites of the festival were addressed to Dia, goddess of "the sunlit sky"; she was asked to favor the proper ripening of the grain, symbolized in the rite by the continuity between green grain and grain that had become fully ripe.
		A possibly late interpretation connects the Arval Brothers with Acca Larentia, the supposed nurse of Romulus and Remus, and thus associates them with the story of Romulus; this is consistent with the hypothesis that the Arval rites go back to the end of the period of the kings (sixth century BCE).

	Chapter 5, The Origins of Christianity by Professor Revilo P. Oliver
		If a priest is just a man who performs a religious rite, then, in such a religion, any person, not an infant or of the wrong sex, may be a priest whenever occasion demands it.
		The head of every household was its priest, who himself performed for his household such rites as the family tradition prescribed, usually or always including some sacra peculiar to the family line, and such other ceremonies as seemed appropriate to him.
		An alien caste of priests would naturally have enlisted members of the dominant race as accomplices in one way or another, and the latter could have carried on, perhaps with gratification, after their principals or superiors had been massacred.

		Under the direction of the priests there would be re-created the story of the creation of the world, at the end of which the king was supposed to die so as to accompany Marduk into the underworld and battle at his side.
		Among kings, unsurprisingly this was an unpopular ritual and the eventual inspiration for the idea of dressing a criminal as a "mock king" for a short time before killing him in the real king's place.
		As played out in ancient Babylon, in proper season the king would repair to the temple dedicated to Marduk, be stripped of his insignia by the chief priest and swear that in the past year he had done nothing wrong.

		The celibacy of the priest is claimed as the very acme of morality--but this conception creates a twofold ethical standard, an aristocratic or sacredotal morality and a plebeian one.
		They are a part of the common heritage of the human race and are therefore of no practical value in the study of one particular cult.

		There is consequently no reason why the bells upon the high priest's ephod (Exodus 33:33) should not have been tiny bells of normal shape.
		The solemn ceremony of benediction provided in the Pontifical can only be carried out by a bishop or by a priest specially empowered, and it is only to be employed in the case of bells intended for church use.
