Temple of Vesta

public - created 09/17/04
Organization of the Tournament of Virgins Art Parade at Burning Man. Our mission is to provide a venue for interactive fun between Virgin burners and the community. Why the name? The Vestal Virgins were an important part of Roman religion and considered lucky. Should one who is condemned meet a Vestal Virgin, they were pardoned. Named for the goddess Vesta:

In her temple on the Palatine Hill, the sacred fire of the Roman state burned, which was maintained by the Vestal Virgins. At the start of the new Roman year, March 1, the fire was renewed.

As our fire is renewed each year at Black Rock City. I just thought it kinda fit.
