These holy days are on the same day every year on the solar calendar.
Disappointing Ra:
Disappointing of Ra: Kemetic (ancient Egyptian) holy day. It is the day anyone disobeying Re (or
Ra) will fall down at once.
Ra first appeared during the Second Dynasty of the Old Kingdom in ancient Egypt. Ra was a minor
solar deity until the Fifth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom, when Ra became associated with the Pharaoh in
the Pyramid Texts. The first major solar temple to Ra was built in Heliopolis.
In the Pyramid Texts Ra, as Atum, rose from creation as the benben stone (the heiroglyph for benben
is similar to a pyramid and is believed by Egyptologists to be the source for the religious significance of
the Great Pyramids). The original benben stone was believed to be the obelisk-pillar housed in the
temple of Benu-Phoenix in Heliopolis. The obelisk-pillar is part of the heiroglyph Iwn, the ancient
Egyptian name for Heliopolis.
In the Middle Kingdom, Ra and the Goddess Ma’at became the primary divine forces of good,
strongly opposed to the forces of evil among humans. The ancient Egyptians believed that the enemies
of Ra (humans who were evil) would bow down to the power of Ra.
Worship of Ra reached its height during the New Kingdom under the name Re-Horakhty-Atum.
Temples of Ra started to feature open courtyards with a central altar to Ra, with daily rituals under the
desert sun. Ra became closely associated with Pharaoh. Amenhotep III called himself “the dazzling
sun”. Ra became associated with Osiris (Asar), who became viewed as the nocturnal Ra.
Under the occupations of Egypt by the Nubians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans, the influence of Ra
in Egyptian religion gradually weakened.
