| Description In ancient Egypt five days were set aside at the end of each year to celebrate the birthdays of the famed god Isis, Nephthys, Osiris, Set and Horus. To honor their traditions, the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum will be holding a festival in Rosicrucian Park. The weekend will feature a variety of special lectures, tomb tours, workshops, and childrens' activities.
Rosicrucian Park is a magical, mystical attraction for adventurers all ages and interests. Explore the Egyptian Museum and its magnificent architecture, which houses the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts in western North America. Tour a tomb if you dare. Follow celestial phenomena through the ages from the historical Planetarium. To relax, you can browse ancient texts in the Rosicrucian Library, visit the gift shop or wander through the roses, statuary, sparkling fountains, and the 18th Dynasty Peace Garden. Rosicrucian Park is no ordinary way to spend a day! |
