March 1st



The month of March celebrates WOMAN. March 1st was the Matronalia Feriae Festival of ancient Rome which honored all women. From the female slaves who were given the day off to the lady of the house receiving gifts from her husband and children. This day also celebrated the goddess Juno Lucine of childbirth" Juno who brings children into the Light." Women visited Juno's temple to perform rituals which have been lost to time. But, women wore their hair down and loose and there could be no knots or twists in their clothing or wear belts?
March 8th is International Woman's Day.(see March 8th)
