All Hail Vesta!

Vesta was one of the great Roman divinities, identical to the Greek Hestia. She was the goddess of the hearth, and she was represented in her temple by the eternal fire burning on her altar. Aeneas was believed to have brought the eternal fire of Vesta from Troy, which was kept up and attended to by the Vestals, her virgin priestesses. On the 9th of June, she was honored by the Vestalia, on which occasion only women went to the temple, and they walked there with bare feet.

If you have any questions about this group, please ask the Virgo Vestalis Maxima or the High Priestesses for information!
