Bona Dea
On this day in Ancient Rome, the fertility Goddess, Bona Dea, was once again honored (see 3 and 4 May). In myth, Bona Dea was the wife of Faunus and excelled in the domestic arts. Her temple was on the Aventine Hill, but her rites were conducted by the Vestal Virgins in the home of the leading magistrate, under the supervision of his wife. Men were strictly forbidden bidden from attending or witnessing these rituals. als. Little is known of exactly what took place, but wine (called milk) and honey were blessed, possibly to be used later in fertility rites.
