Vestalia
Vestalia was an ancient Roman festival dedicated to the goddess Vesta, who was the protector of the hearth and home. Celebrated from June 7 to June 15, it involved rituals to ensure the safety and prosperity of households. The festival was particularly important for women, as they played a central role in the worship of Vesta.
During Vestalia, the sacred flame in the Temple of Vesta was tended to, and offerings were made to the goddess. The festival also included a procession where women would walk barefoot to the temple, symbolizing purity and devotion. This celebration highlighted the significance of family and domestic life in Roman culture.
