Fors Fortuna was a special celebration in ancient Rome that happened every year on June 24th. It was like a big party to honor the goddess Fortuna, who people believed brought them luck and good fortune. On this day, people would gather, often near the Tiber River, and have fun while saying prayers or offering gifts to Fortuna, hoping she would grant them good luck. It's a bit like how people might make wishes or hope for good things to happen on their birthdays, but this was a whole day for everyone to do it together.
How to celebrate Fors Fortuna?
Gather your family and friends for a picnic near a river or stream, bringing along your favorite snacks and drinks. Wear bright and cheerful clothes to represent good luck. Spend time playing games, singing songs, and sharing stories. Make little paper boats or small baskets, then place flowers and small coins inside them as offerings for Fortuna. Gently set them afloat on the water, watching as they drift away, carrying your wishes for good luck. As the sun sets, sit together and share what you're grateful for, cherishing each other's company and the hope for luck in the coming days.
