		The Feralia were apparently closely linked to a couple of other festivals, namely the Parentalia and the Caristia, the former starting on February 13 and lasting until the 21st.
		During the period of the Parentalia, to use Scullard's words "all temples were close, no fires burned on the altars, marriages were forbidden, and the magistrates laid aside their insignia." (Festivals and Ceremonies of the Roman Republic, 75).
		In other words, Feralia was probably a day when it was favourable to perform such rituals rather than having this specific ritual specifically associated with it.

		The February 21 Feralia observance, the annual culmination of Parentalia death rituals, came at the end of the Roman year, starting the last week of the year's least auspicious month, Februa mensi, the month of expiation and purification before the start of the new year.
		The Feralia festa had two purposes: to make the afterlife more comfortable for the spirits of your own good ancestors, and to prevent any bad ones of yours or anybody else's bad ancestors, from harming you or your family.
		And they were especially dreaded during those dark year-end days around the Feralia when portals could open between the lands of the dead and of the living.
