The Festival of Anubis

Student Center main lobby.

 The Festival of Anubis, going forth to every necropolis, is a modern festival celebrated by those who reconstruct the ancient Egyptian faith. It is a celebration of our ancestors and our loved ones who have passed away, as Anubis is a God of the Dead. On this day Anubis is said to visit every necropolis (cemetary) in the world, where he picks up letters from the necropolis, and is said to deliver them to the dead in the underworld. We will be making offerings for the God Anubis, as well as writing letters to our ancestors or to our recently passed away loved ones, which will then be delivered to a local cemetary.
