CalendarQuinquatrus Minusculae (00:00 - June 13th, 2011)
This festival was sacred to Minerva, the Roman goddess of warriors, wisdom and weaving and was chaste - her Ancient Greek equivalent is Athena. There is some dispute as to whether this festival was held for five days or just one - it may have been that it started off as just one and then developed into a longer celebration.
This day was a popular day for women to consult Oracles and Seers.
