A priestess of Isis meditates by the lotus pool in the Temple of Isis. The lotus was the most sacred flower of ancient Egypt for upon it the Sun God RA was born when the first lotus reached out from the mud and opened its petals.
Each side of the pool grows the Tree of Life in ornamental pots and the Temple is richly decorated with lotus flower patterns. The protective Eye of Horus and the Ankh, representing the breath of life, decorate the walls.
