It's Saturnalia, the celebration of Saturn! Apart from Vestalia, this is my second favorite holiday. Our slaves really enjoy it as well. I have spent the past couple of days getting ready for this festival by making salt cakes. This entire place just reeks of salt!

Going to the Coliseum later today, The five other Vesta's and I really enjoy going to the Gladiator fights. We really get into them. We also get the luxury of sitting of sitting right across from Caesar himself- what an honor!

Tomorrow, June 7th, is the beginning of Vestalia, the holiday celebrating Vesta, Goddess of the Hearth! We will be celebrating it for the next eight days. Everyone be sure to come to the temple, it's one of the only times which you can visit it! We will have salt cakes for you, and be sure to bring your own food offerings to this wonderful goddess!

Today, we accidently let the fire of Vesta go out....the youngest, Geta, poured too much holy water on it. It was all our faults really,we should of told her how much water to use. Because we did this, we got a stern yelling from our ten elders, and get whipped from the Pontifex Maximus. Not a fun day. :(

We just got a new Vestal named Clarita today! I always enjoy seeing new Vestals. She must not be above age seven! Clarita will now spend the next ten years being taught by the elders the way we do praise Vesta. She just replaced Sera, her thirty years were up. It is certainly refreshing to see a new face in this temple. Being with the same girls day after day can get a little bit boring!
