Lupercalia was an ancient pagan festival held each year in Rome on February 15. Although Valentine’s Day shares its name with a martyred Christian saint, some historians believe the holiday is actually an offshoot of Lupercalia. Unlike Valentine’s Day, however, Lupercalia was a bloody, violent and sexually-charged celebration awash with animal sacrifice, random matchmaking and coupling in the hopes of warding off evil spirits and infertility.

After the speed dating we’re having a little more fun as participants gather round for a game of Seven Minutes in a Coffin.
As Aunt Z says “Lupercalia is a symphony of sensuality and pleasure.”
