|term=Ark of Isis
|person=No
|description=At the great Egyptian annual ceremony, which took place in the month of Athyr, the boat of Isis was borne in procession by the priests, and ''Collyrian ''cakes or buns, marked with the sign of the cross (Tat), were eaten. This was in commemoration of the weeping of Isis for the loss of Osiris, the Athyr festival being very impressive. “Plato refers to the melodies on the occasion as being very ancient,” writes Mr. Bonwick (''Eg. Belief and Mod. Thought''). “ The ''Miserere ''in Rome has been said to be similar to its melancholy cadence, and to be derived from it Weeping, veiled virgins followed the ark. The ''Nornes'', or veiled virgins, wept also for the loss of our Saxon forefathers’ god, the ill‐fated but good Baldur.” {{etg-source|TG}}.
