HEXMAS is a Salem Art Gallery Exhibition that explores the lore of the Winter Holidays and their vast range of interpretations, including the Satanic Holiday, Sol Invictus, and many other winter myths and legends across the regions and throughout history. The Satanic Temple observes December 25th as Sol Invictus, a celebration of being unconquered by superstition and consistent in pursuing and sharing knowledge. The cult of Sol existed within Rome since its early days as a republic, and Invictus was an epithet used for Jupiter, Mars, and Apollo (among others). The festival celebrated these gods and may have also been used to celebrate the winter solstice.
