It's the Day of Hermes aka Mercurius Day aka #Wednesday!

Look at this #VasePainting depicting a sacrifice to #Hermes: The god stands watching the approach of a youth with a goat. The small votive pictures and the miniature herm on a shelf in the background give a clue to the setting. The goat is for sacrifice in a sanctuary, prepared by the youth to honour #Hermes with this ritual.
