Revision as of 15:34, 14 June 2009

Xenia (Greek: ξενία, xenía) is the Greek concept of hospitality, or generosity and courtesy shown to those who are far from home. It is often translated as "guest-friendship" (or "ritualized friendship") because the rituals of hospitality created and expressed a reciprocal relationship between guest and host.

The Greek god Zeus was sometimes referred to as Zeus Xenios, meaning he was god of, among other things, travelers. This created a particular religious obligation to be hospitable to travelers, but guests also had responsibilities, beyond reciprocating hospitality.

The "Nova Roman Xenia Project", or whatever name we will give to this later, is a possible undertaking that was born from the experience of many Nova Romans all over the world who made each other feel welcome as guests in their homes, facilitating traveling and gathering together, the real life relationships between Nova Romans, knowing the foreign cultures better in which our fellow Nova Romans live, and building our own New Roman culture.

Our citizens who are willing to receive their fellow citizens as guests in their home provide them with the greatest possibility ever for fellow modern Romans to know each other in real life, to make easier traveling, gathering together, knowing other cultures where our fellow Nova Romans live, visiting other countries where Romans lived, or where Romans never lived, but their legacy is part of the traditions of the country, as almost everywhere in the world Romans had something that is now part of other cultural traditions.

The project is now in its first phase, there is much to discuss.

We ask only one thing from you:

Please share your ideas HERE in this NR WIKI page, and if you feel that you are ready to receive your fellow Nova Romans into your house as guests during their time when they are traveled to your city, add your name to this table:
