The Sacred Fire of Vesta

By Linda aka Freyja on January 01, 2026

On the first day of the new year, the sacred fire still burns in the temple of Vesta before a statue of the goddess herself, the smoke rising up through the central roof opening.

This beautiful recreation by Del-ka Aedilis looks stunning in the winter landscape, its white marble as pale as the snow. The elegant Corinthian columns circle the building and the ornate front portal in bronze shows various scenes with Vestal motifs.
