Interesting Notes: In ancient Rome on this day girls took barley-cakes as offerings to the sacred snake in Juno Sospita's grove. If they were accepted, their virginity was confirmed and the year's fertility assured. In the late Republic temples were built to her at Rome, but by Ovid's day they were in ruins. (Blackburn) |
