Thrill and Grace: the origins of the name "Gratiae"

Many of our costumers ask us what is the meaning of "Gratiae" - and we do admit, it may sound a bit weird for anyone who's never heard this word :) But if you think about it, Gratiae sounds a lot like a word you're quite familiar with: Grace. and it goes a long way in human history.

Gratiae is actually originated from the roman mythology, where gratiae simply means "graces". it's referring to the three graces, the daughters of Zeus (or of Dionysus and Aphrodite - depending on which version you trust) and the goddesses of everything that's pure and beautiful on earth: music, art, charm, nature, beauty, creativity, and fertility.

It's a roman romance.

During the Second Century the roman emperor Hadrian discovered a small mineral-rich thermal spring situated near the Sea of Galilee in the north of Israel. The spring's therapeutic qualities and effects on the skin amazed the emperor and made him name it after the three goddesses - Gratiae.

The spring water, erupting at 125 degrees, soon became a popular attraction in the entire Roman Empire and a natural spa for the Roman royalty until this day, the amazing, rejuvenating water continues to flow underground and remains untouched by human hand and considered to be a major attraction for tourists.
