Last Day of the Festival of Cerealia: Roman holy day. The Festival of Cerealia was a seven day<br />

festival in honor of the Goddess Ceres. The exact date of the festival is uncertain, but most likely<br />

occurred from April 12 to April 19. Other possible start dates include the Ides of April (April 13) and<br />

April 7. Note that the Romans used a lunar calendar. This date is a generalized date for the modern calendar. This Roman<br />

holy day may be on a different day if calculated using the ancient Roman lunar calendar.<br />

In the city of Rome, Cerealia was the primary festival for Ceres. In Rome the festival was<br />

accompanied by the Ludi Ceriales, or the “Games of Cere”, which were held int he Circus Maximus.<br />

Ovid wrote in Fasti iv. 494 that Roman women clothed in white ran about the city with lighted<br />
