The volcano goes by the name of the Roman fire god. First, the Romans used the term to refer to the volcano Etna, where, according to their belief, was the smithy of Vulcan.
In the Middle Ages, many believed that the volcanoes were the entrance to the fiery hell.
Hundreds of years ago, the Aztecs who lived in Mexico, and the inhabitants of Nicaragua believed that the gods live in the lava. They sacrificed to these powerful gods beautiful young girls.
