gold pieces I have had the fortune of handling. Perfumes were created from the Lotus flower in ancient Egypt, and the flower is associated with the Egyptian god Ra, the Sun god, since it opens during the day and closes at night. The ancient Egyptians believed that Ra emerged from a Lotus flower in ancient primordial waters, and that when Ra, the sun, sets down in the evening to set forth night goes back into the Lotus flower, which is also why it was extremely sacred so that when the pharaohs were buried it was also with these Lotus flowers. When you gift this beautiful pin your saying that the wearer is equivalent to Ra, the Sun deity, that that person is everything to you deserving of the noblest flowers and jewels, truly a gift fit for any God or Goddess in your life ! From a Christian perspective this lovely pin has three Lotus flowers representing the Holy Trinity all intertwined with the top one representing the father, and the right one representing the son and the last one but not least the Holy Spirit ! After all it was Akhenaten that was the first in history to claim the existence of only one God, though be it the Sun god, who was best reflected by humans through acts of love, which unfortunately did not last very long since all Empires throughout history are consumed by hate, greed, and war.

Let us as good Christians pray for the devoted muslims who are suffering terribly from persecution on an unprecedented level. Before you ever criticise anything truly understand what your criticising, in other words study Arabic so you may read the Holy Quran yourself without prejudice second hand information.
