🪷 This video by Priest #JulienQuinn shows how the #RosyLotus became associated with #Antinous. Click here: http://youtu.be/46CPNDF-sDg Pink lotus waterlilies have always adorned his altars and statues. It is said blossoms sprouted in the Nile from blood of a lion slain by #Antinoos #Hadrian in 130 AD. 🪷

🪷❤️ #ValentinesDay may be over. But the work of Amor - Eros and his brothers, the #Erotes (sons of Venus), is far from over at the Hollywood Temple of #Antinous, as Priest #AntoniusSubia can verify. The Erotes, also known as #Cupids, work tirelessly cleaning up, drinking all leftover sacrificial wine and eating all leftover chocolate candy. It's a thankless task. But somebody has to do it. Cartoon art by Priest #JulienQuinn. ❤️🪷

🪷 ❤️ Amor (Cupid) blows kisses at sleepy-head #Antinous to remind him that Valentine's Day is coming ... in this 2013 cartoon by Priest #JulienQuinn. ❤️ 🪷

🪷 #GroundhogDay ... Ten years ago, on 2 Feb 2013, modern-day Priest of #Antinous #JulienQuinn created this cartoon showing the #groundhog as a follower of Antinous the Gay God waving the rainbow flag as #AntoniusSubia officiates, to the amazement of Punxsutawney dignitaries. 🪷
