Hestia is the Greek goddess of home, hearth, fire, and altar, this meaning she embodied the ideal of community worship in home and in the city - there was a "temple hearth" in every Greek city and town where the community would worship.

Today "hearth and home" embody her essence, as well as to "keep the home fires burning".
