Epeteios Naou - The 1st Anniversary of the Temple's Founding

Epeteios Naou or alternatively, Epéteios Tou Naoú, is the anniversary of The Temple of Hyacinthus' founding and is celebrated annually on Amalios 20. ​Joyous rituals of celebration and thankfulness are observed on this day. A day of thankfulness for The Theoi, thankfulness for community, and thankfulness to our Temple's Patron and our Temple's Namesake; Lord Apollo and Prince Hyacinthus, respectively. - Source

Khaire one and all! Let the blessings and graces of The Theoi be present for all our Temple's patrons and visitors, and let us honor them as we celebrate the first Solar Festival of the 2025 year.

One year ago today, I created The Temple of Hyacinthus, and the past 365 days have been such an amazing journey. What began as a small blog with a handful of followers has ballooned into an amazing community that I couldn't be more grateful for.

There are so many amazing and wonderful individuals who follow and keep up with our humble online temple. From fellow Hellenic Polytheists, those with practices of mixed tradition, and even those outside of the HelPol community entirely! I am honored that so many people find value in the work we do here, and cannot thank you all enough for the trust you have placed in me.

For those who don't know - I'm a 26 year old Hellenic Pagan who runs this temple as a religious side project while also trying to maintain a very busy life outside of my religious practice. It takes a lot, and I must apologize for the sometimes inconsistent posts and interactions, but I am hoping to expand our Temple's presence and services throughout 2025.

If you've read this far, thank you! The Temple would love to do an AMA (as me anything) today for anyone who has questions about Hellenic Polytheism, our Temple, or our Temple's steward Aön. Anon asks welcome!

Eirene - peace and farewell,

Aön & The Temple of Hyacinthus

Happy Epeteious Naou !

And congratulations on a whole year of the temple running, that’s truly amazing!

Whilst it’s not my best work and quite rushed, I wanted to give a little “happy birthday” gift to the temple:

A little re-rendition of Nicolas-René Jollian’s ‘Hyacinthe changé en fleur’ - 1769.

I think ‘Morning to the mourning’ sounds nice for it.

Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day, and may the gods bless you and the temple, khaire 🫶
