Worshipers of the Templo de #Antinoo in Mexico City honor Mexico's first homophobia martyr saint of #Antinous, #JorgeFernandezMartínez, murdered 3 March 2016 in #Tutlitlán. His funeral, in the name of Antinous, was at the #SantaMuerte shrine there: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2025/03/mexicos-first-saint-of-antinous-is.html
#Antinous would be forgotten save for this man: #AntoninusPius, adopted as #Hadrian's heir on 25 February 138 AD, died 7 March 161. He lavished vast sums on #Antinoos art and temples as emperor, honoring Hadrian's wish to spread the religion of #Antinoo: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2025/02/antoninus-pius-roman-emperor-who.html
Tonight's #Aquarius #NewMoon is the "Obelisk Moon" of #Antinous. Priest #AntoniusSubia visits the Obelisk of #Antinoos atop the Pincio Hill. Its hieroglyphs say #Antinoo "lies here," a tantalizing clue to the location of the Lost Tomb of Antinous: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2025/01/the-aquarius-new-moon-obelisk-moon-of.html
Died 11 Dec 1779: Cardinal Alessandro #Albani, whose villa was filled with #Antinous art found by friend #Winckelmann like this basrelief of #Antinoos as #Vertumnus. They spawned the #Antinomania fad when all aristocrats craved #Antinoo sculptures: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2024/12/cardinal-alessandro-albani-saint-of.html
#NovemberCountdown to Antinous' Birthday on November 27th: #Antinous as #Osiris at #vaticanmuseums. Like Osiris, #Antinoos died tragically in the Nile. Like Osiris, #Antinoo triumphed over death as a deity. Antinous is within us ALL! The Blessing of Antinous is with us all!

On 21 Aug with the sun poised to leave Leo, devotees of #Antinous commemorate the #LionHunt of #Hadrian/#Antinoos in Egypt in 130 AD when they slew a man-eating lion. #Antinoo impetuously charged the beast and Hadrian interceded to save him.

On 21 Aug we commemorate the rosy Lotus of Antinous. Pink lotus waterlilies have always adorned his altars and statues. It is said that, as #Antinous and #Hadrian slew a lion in Egypt in 130 AD, blood was shed on waterlilies, making them red.

13 Aug is the Roman feast of #Pomona and #Vertumnus, shape-shifting god-of-plenty and luck. #Antinous as Vertumnus can take "any form his heart desires" as the Obelisk of #Antinoo says. He can be anyone you meet, or you yourself. Reach out ... take his hand. #MuseiVaticani.
23 July is the Roman #Neptunalia feast of #Neptune/#Poseidon. #Antinous is linked to the god, who mated with male sea god #Nerites. Their son: #Anteros.

On 1 July 1894 the #Delphi #Antinous statue was found. #Antinoos is in focus. The mortal men are blurred like flames of votive candles which flicker briefly and go out. Yet one #Antinoo-looking youth looks at us, his face in focus: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-day-one-of-most-beautiful-statues.html

#LudwigII of Bavaria loved art, not war. For that he was called "mad". He died 13 June 1886. Drowned mysteriously like #Antinous. Munich is home to major #Antinoo art like this bust with Aion/Uranus mosaic. Ludwig is a saint of #Antinoos: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2024/06/king-ludwig-ii-of-bavaria-saint-of.html
