CO OZNACZA SŁOWO VESTAL VIRGIN
Vestal Virgin
W starożytnej religii rzymskiej, Vestals lub Vestal Virgins, były kapłanki Vesta, bogini paleniska. Kolegium Wacława i jego dobrobytu uznano za fundamentalne dla kontynuacji i bezpieczeństwa Rzymu. Uprawiali święty ogień, który nie mógł wychodzić. Vestals zostali uwolnieni od zwykłych obowiązków społecznych związanych z małżeństwem i wychowaniem dzieci, a także ślubowali czystość, aby poświęcić się badaniu i poprawić przestrzeganie państwowych rytuałów, które były poza granicami męskich kolegiów kapłanów.
