When the first rains came the Nubian people came out to celebrate the inundation of the Nile and the renewal of life. The Nubians believed that every year Isis would shed as single tear, in memory of Osiris, which would be caught by Satet - the Goddess of the Inundation of the Nile (Section Leader), in her jar then poured into the Nile; the inundation itself being known as the Night of the Teardrop. The rains usually began during the full moon and so celebrations are often depicted coloured in black shot through with a gray metallic colour Egyptologists believe to be symbolic of the moon glistening on the dark waters of the Nile. The people are often shown holding feathers thought to be symbolic of the birth of Horus – son of Osiris and Isis and Lord of the Sky whose symbol is that of a falcon.
