Isis and the cult of mother goddesses
The cult of the Mother and Child
was widespread in Egypt.
It was often the mother goddess Isis wearing the crown of the Queen of Heaven and holding the child Horus on her lap.
This image is not unlike that of the Virgin
and Child of Christendom.
It is certain that in art, the figure of Isis nursing
Horus little resembles the Madonna and child.
Isis nursing Horus is a reminiscent image
of the Virgin and Child
