Ceres, the goddess of grains, harvest, and maternity, is in charge of rich soil and the earth's nourishment.
She taught mankind how to cultivate the land, as well as how to produce, preserve, and cook food.
Ceres is a sympathetic and benevolent goddess who becomes involved in the daily lives of her devotees.
Ceres is the embodiment of a mother's devotion and commitment to her offspring, perhaps most remembered for her persistent pursuit of her abducted daughter Prosperpina.
She is seen with a scepter and a basket of fruits and flowers in her hand.
