-Gentiles enim Februarium men- fern inferis dedicaverunt, eo quod, ficut putabant, fed errabant, in principio ejus menfis Proferpina rapta fuerat a PI u tone : quam quia mater ejus Ceres faci- bus acceniis in iEthna tota nocte per Siciliam quae- fiffe credebatur, et ipfi ad commemorationem ipfius facibus acceniis in principio menfis urbem de nocfe luftrabant. Unde feftum iftud appellabatur Ambur- bale. Cum autem fancfi patres confuetudinem iftam non pofTent penitus extirpare, conftituerunt, ut ...in honore beatae Virginis Mariae caereos portarent accen- fos. Et lie quod prius fiebat ad honorem Cereris, modo fit ad honorem virginis. Et quod prius fiebat ad honorem Proferpina?, modo fit ad laudem Ma- riae. " D. Innocentii III. Papae in fefto Purif. Ma- riae, Sermo I. P. 109. Opp. Coloniae, 1575. " Romani olim in hoc menfe tria fefta luminaria celebrabant. Primum in honorem Proferpinae. Se- cundum in honorem Februoe. Tertium in hono- rem totius curiae infernalis. Siquidem fecundum eo- rum fabulas Proferpinam fpeciofam puellam flores colligentem Pluto Deus infernalis concupifcens ra- puit, et accipiens in fponfam, Deam fecit.
