Once a year the Goddess Hathor would travel from Dendera Temple to Edfu to visit her consort/husband Horus. Many of these ceremonies were enacted within the temple walls for the priesthood and their invited guests, while the rest of the people of Edfu had to wait impatiently outside the walls for the beautiful sailing of Hathor. Until then the people only heard vague echoes of singing and dancing coming from within the temple walls.
