It was convenient to have all these materials on the farm, for new buildings were often needed for storing grain, or for sheltering the great number of slaves. Several festivals and holidays took place while the children were on the farm. " The children knew that in the country this was the most important religious festival of the year, and they were eager for the next day to come. They would walk in procession, and carry great sheaves of flowers in their arms, and what could be more delightful than that?
