Zag-Muk

Lux Ferre May 1, 2019

Zag-Muk (Zagmuku) Babylonian New Year festival held in spring in honor of the great
hero god Marduk, who on that day decided the fate of men for the coming year. One of the rites associated with the festival was the “visit” paid by the god Nabu, a son of Marduk, to his father. An image of Nabu was carried in a ship to the temple of Marduk and then returned to its own shrine.
