Dikhomenia Full Moon

Dikhomenia or New Moon

 

Dikhomenia is the ancient Hellenic celebration of the full moon, marking the last day of the lunar month.

 

Dikhomenia (15th Every lunar month) From the ancestor of the modern word dikhiazo “I bisect, I divide”, which occurs on or very close to the full moon.

SELE′NE (Selênê), also called Mene, or Latin Luna, was the goddess of the moon, or the moon personified into a divine being. 

 

Dikhomenia was a festival in ancient Greek religion that celebrated the moon goddess, Selene. Celebrated on or around the full moon, it marked the "middle" of the lunar month, while Noumenia honored the new moon. This festival was a time of worship for Selene and was sometimes associated with the god Apollo as well, notes Neokoroi. 

Dikhomenia: A festival held around the full moon, which translates to "I bisect, I divide," marking the middle of the lunar cycle.

Noumenia: A festival for the new moon, which was a celebration for all gods and specifically for Selene, Apollon Noumenios, the ancestors, and the Agathos Daimon, says Neokoroi.

Goddess Selene: The goddess of the moon, known for her beauty and romance. She is often depicted with a crescent moon on her head, driving a chariot across the sky.
