Why the name HORUS?
HORUS is a god which represents the higher consciousness about the planet Earth and is responsible for human development; that is why he was chosen as a symbol for the Slovenian social responsibility award.
HORUS is one of the ancient and most famous Egyptian gods. The Egyptian word “her” (hor, har), from which the name origins, means “the one from above” or “distant one”. In mythology, HORUS was presented as a divine falcon. It is also symbolically presented as a stylized eye – the symbol of the falcon eye. The eye has become a symbol for integrity, health, firmness and perfection.
