\"\"A report on the European Congress of Ethnic Religions, which recently met in Rome.<\/a><\/p>\n

A great four-day event, with the participation of delegations from fifteen European countries and a representation from the US, culminated in an intense and luminous common ritual on the sacred hill of the Palatine on the 2771st anniversary of Rome foundation, the \u201cDies Natali\u201d. So it was the sixteenth Congress of the ECER \u2013 European Congress of Ethnic Religions, organized by the Movimento Tradizionale Romano on the theme \u201cThe pagan rituals and their sources\u201d (19 \u2013 22 April 2018), concluded in Rome with great success, thanks to the synergy of prestigious doctrinal and scientific contributions and an impeccable organization.<\/p>\n

In fact, the ECER, that brings together the main representative associations of European ethnic religions, had asked MTR to hold the prestigious event in the Italian capital: the MTR accepted and decided to celebrate the Congress on the occasion of the Natal [Birthday] of Rome.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Pagan-focused archeological tours sound fascinating too.<\/p>\n

In the early morning, in fact, most of the participants met in Via di S. Gregorio for a visit to the Palatine Hill and the Imperial Forums. It was not, however, a mere archaeological walk, but a true spiritual itinerary on the Sacred Hill of our Tradition. . . .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Accompanied by the archaeologists Marina Simeone<\/strong> and Sandra Mazza, the participants were able to immerse themselves completely in the environment and at the same time feed themselves from the most sacred sources of our Roman Tradition. The in-depth illustrations and the direct vision of the still impressive architectural evidences, such as the huts of Romulus, the temple of Apollo, the house of Augustus, the palaces of Domitian, were the setting for the presentation. In particular, the amazement has caught everyone in learning that the Christian birth was born under their feet, in the fourth century, in the church of St. Anastasia, on the expropriated trunk of the feast of the Invincible Sun (Sol Invictus) and on the forgotten roots of the Lupercal<\/a> \u2013 our only , true, Cave of the Nativity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
