The Sacred Marriage Day of Zeus & Hera Today is the sacred marriage day of the Greek God Zeus to the Goddess Hera. Their anniversary was celebrated by ancient Athenians on the 26th day of Gamelion. Gamelion is the seventh month in the Attic Calendar and the month of marriage. If you’re interested in reading more about pagan holidays, I highly recommend Festivals of the Athenians by H.W. Parke. This year, the 26th of Gamelion is today, the 18th of January!
