This is not surprising, being that she was the first actor cast in Pitch Perfect and honed those improv skills during Bridesmaids. Whatâs more wonderful is that she now lives with her Bridesmaids co-star, Matt Lucas (of Little Britain), who played her brother in Bridesmaids.
In ancient Roman religion, Tellus or Terra Mater (Mother Earth) was a goddess of the earth and agriculture. Her festivals and rituals often connected her to Ceres, goddess of grain, agriculture, fertility, and mothering.
Mothers are goddesses. Itâs common knowledge. The nurturers. The givers of life. To be celebrated and honored. To the ancient ones, there was just something about spring and mothers that equaled FESTIVAL! Dancers, musicians, singers, food, costumes. Maybe a sacrificial slaughter in honor of a mythical goddess like Egyptâs Isis or the Greco-Roman deity, Cybele, the great mother of all. These maternal goddesses were not just nurturers and the givers of life, they were symbols of powerful female forces in the universe. Even the early Christians honored the Virgin Mary with a festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Spring and mothers and festivals. I see a pattern here.
