The Sun in culture

Depiction of the Sun with rays and with a face, a Western iconographic tradition which became current in the Early Modern period (ceiling of the Golden Cross Tavern, Linlithgow, c. 1700)

The Sun, as the source of energy and light for life on Earth, has been a central object in culture and religion since prehistory. Ritual solar worship has given rise to solar deities in theistic traditions throughout the world, and solar symbolism is ubiquitous. Apart from its immediate connection to light and warmth, the Sun is also important in timekeeping as the main indicator of the day and the year.[1]
