My fellow classmate is a local semi-finalist in canon's project imagination, a photo contest with Ron Howard, Eva Longoria, Jamie Foxx and other celebrity directors. I was hoping you guys could vote/ share this link so It can get promoted. This contest runs from today until sept 24. There are 10 themes in the contest and she is in the charater theme. They picked out the best 30 photos and there will be 7 finalist at the end of the voting. Each of the 7 winners in each catagory will receive 2 tickets to go to New York because the directors of the contest will be making a hollywood film inspired by each winners photo. It would also help if you guys shared this on other site such as twitter tumblr and instagram! PLEASE HELP HER OUT!!!! SHE'S AMAZING.

Origins and Vesta and Vestal Virgins.
The Roman goddess of the hearth and the hearth fire. Vesta had been identified with Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth.
Vesta had public and private functions. In the private household, she was worshipped along with the Penates and a Lar.
In public, her temple on the Palatine, in Rome, where they kept the perpetual fire burning throughout the year. The Vestal Virgins were guardians of the hearth and duties were to maintain the sacred fire. The fire was annually extinguished and renewed on March 1.
Only girls from prominent families could enter the services. The requirements were that the girls were virgins, beginning at the age of 6 and 10, and to serve for at least 30 years. Any Vestal Virgin, who breaks their chastity during that time, would face death sentence. They normally buried the Virgin alive for violation of their oath of chastity.
Vesta was seen carrying a lighted torch and a votive bowel. Her festival, the Vestalia, was celebrated was held between June 7 and 15.
