cecilia b: The temple of Isis on the Nile island, Philae, serves as an example for the Christianization of space. As Finneran notes, "all over the country the newly enfranchised and dynamic Christian communities attacked the temles of the Pharaohs and built churches inside them." This statement of "new ownership" is proclaimed not only by the carving of crosses on the walls of the structure, but also the Christian altar set up inside.
