Description
"Isis Theatre in Victor, Colorado, by Catherine Sherman.
Isis Theater was built in 1899 in Victor, Colorado, and featured live entertainment.
Today it no longer features shows, but has been turned into a free museum with antiques, and nostalgic movie collectibles. The theater museum was purchased in 1985 by Betty Kennedy who turned Isis Theater into the museum that it is today.
The city of Victor is situated at nearly 10,000 feet on the southwest side of Pikes Peak. The town is known for its turn of the century architecture. There are several original buildings that bring to life its once thriving mining industry. Victor supplied many of the homes to the mining workers who contributed to the mining production facilities.
Isis is a goddess, first worshiped in Ancient Egyptian religion, and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco-Roman world.
The name Isis means "Throne". Her headdress is a throne. As the personification of the throne, she was an important representation of the pharaoh's power. The pharaoh was depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided. Her cult was popular throughout Egypt, but her most important temples were at Behbeit El-Hagar in the Nile delta, and, beginning in the reign with Nectanebo I (380 to 362 BCE), on the island of Philae in Upper Egypt.
