The Plebeians were treated with absolutely no respect, at all. But that is why they prayed to the gods. They were treated so poorly they prayed to see if life would get better for them. The Plebeians would pay their respects at religious festivals and temples, well, only in some of them.
The Plebeians would pray in their very small home, or a temple they were allowed to pray in. The Plebeians would pray about having crops to sell so they could afford their home along with, having the gods watching over their families so they could protect his or hers family. The gods appreciated what the Plebeians prayed for because the Plebeians worked harder than anyone.
The Plebeians attended to the religious festivals too. A festival a lot of the Plebeians attended to was Feralia, which was held on February, 21. The festival was remembering their dead ancestors. The Plebeians and others brought offerings to their tombs including wreaths and bread soaked in wine. There they sprinkled grain, salt, and violet petals. During wars held on this festival, the dead ancestors would roam the streets as angry ghosts. So that is why this festival was an very important "holiday" to the Plebeians. They miss the people they love.
The Plebeians respected the gods a lot and I hope you got a lot of this out of it. They are just the same as others except of the way they are treated.
