This practice involved a sacred fire being placed on an altar or temple in Egypt and then lit, typically with a large bundle of ashes or other materials, intended for consumption by the god. The act of setting the ashes on fire was believed to be a symbolical way of appeasing the gods and invoking their blessings.
