Cecha

By Crusader1307

In Ancient Etruscan Religious and Cultural Belief, ''Cecha'' was a legal concept. Bestowed upon any Etruscan Male (or Head of Family), ''Cecha'' was defined as ''Any Religious Ritual or Sacred Article'' used to initiate One's ''Patron God'' (or used during National Worship Festivals). ALL Males had to (by Law) maintain Cecha, with severe punishments rendered to those who did not. If no ''close'' Male was available, a Family had to designate a Male Relative (Cousin, Nephew, etc). The Concept was first mentioned in 900 BC.
