Ceres the Greek Goddess of growing plants/grains and of Motherly nurturing relationships in Greek Mythology was worshiped during the ancient Roman times. Her name is derived from the root (ker) which means to grow. Other words associated with this root word (ker) are cereal, create and increase. The legend is told that during a great famine Ceres was part of a group of other women who harvested mass crops of grain. Also, the dwarf planet adopted in 1801- Ceres and the chemical element cerium found on Ceres are both named after Ceres the Greek Goddess. Cerealia Day is a Roman festival held from April 12-19, Celebrating the abundance of Grain and the end of the Great Famine.
To Celebrate this today myself and three friends enjoyed a huge bowl of granola with bananas. So fun to eat out of one bowl with pals of like hearts. Finding Peace in a Grain of Love.
