SUMMARY:“When Gods and Goddesses Eat: The Daily Ritual of Feeding the Gods in A
ncient Mesopotamia” by Nicole Brisch
DESCRIPTION:\nGods and goddesses in ancient Mesopotamia were embodied in
statues that were brought to &lrm\;live through mouth-opening and mouth
-washing rituals. Subsequently\, the deities required &lrm\;daily nouris
hment\, and it was the temple&rsquo\;s obligation to provide this care.
The ritual &lrm\;presentation of foods could only be performed by a sele
ct group of ritually pure temple &lrm\;officials\, which\, in early Meso
potamia\, also included women. A closer look at this daily ritual &lrm\;
thus offers fascinating perspectives on Mesopotamian religious beliefs a
nd practices.&lrm\;\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu/event
