and let's not forget Vulcanalia:
In Roman religion, Vulcan is the god of destructive and devouring fire whether helpful or harmful,[1] including the fire of volcanoes. He is also called Mulciber ("softener") in Roman mythology and Sethlans in Etruscan mythology.

maybe uhh thread material though:
The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her. The brother and sister traditionally feed each other sweets.
