Sacred time
- Each god had a special festival day, which usually took place on a public holiday.
- On this particular day, people would visit the temple for whichever god's festival day it was.
- At the temple, the priest leading would sacrifice animals and offer them to the god.
- Festivals in Ancient Rome divide themselves into three groups:
- Festivals of Spring consisted of Festivals in March, April and May. Spring Festivals expressed of the hopes and fears for the growing crops and herds and the worship of Mars, God of War.
- Summer: the festivals of fulfilment, including the celebration of harvest.
- Winter: the festivals of sowing, of social rejoicing and in the later months anticipation of the coming year.
