Description:
Often, in ancient times, objects had symbolic and holy meanings.In Delphi, for instance, the omphalos was a sacred stone, similar to a huge egg (egg as the symbolical form of life and not literally a hen’s egg), and was the navel of the earth, the meeting point of west and est, chosen by Zeus. In our present materialistic culture, the spiritual, symbolic, sacred and holy are mocked. Science is the new god. However, the sacred transcends time and our materialistic culture will eventually pass. In time sacred objects will reemerge for, the spiritual force was, is, and always will be stronger than mere materiality.
