Festival of Cerealia: Roman holy day. The Festival of Cerealia was a seven day festival in honor of
the Goddess Ceres. The exact date of the festival is uncertain, but most likely occurred from April 12 to
April 19. Other possible start dates include the Ides of April (April 13) and April 7. Note that the Romans
used a lunar calendar. This date is a generalized date for the modern calendar. This Roman holy day may be on a different
day if calculated using the ancient Roman lunar calendar.
In the city of Rome, Cerealia was the primary festival for Ceres. In Rome the festival was
accompanied by the Ludi Ceriales, or the “Games of Cere”, which were held int he Circus Maximus.
Ovid wrote in Fasti iv. 494 that Roman women clothed in white ran about the city with lighted
torches to represent Ceres’ (Demeter’s) search for her daughter Proserpina (Persephone).
The modern English word “cereal” comes from the name of the Roman Goddess Ceres.
