Renenūtet (also transliterated Ernūtet, Renen-wetet, Renenet) was a goddess of grain, grapes,[3] nourishment and the harvest in the ancient Egyptian religion.
[6] Offerings to Renenutet were depicted in Egyptian wine making scenes,[8] and shrines to her were set up in vineyards.
He was represented as the Nile River, the annual flooding of which deposited the fertile silt that enabled abundant harvests.
[6] The Festival of Renenutet was an annual Egyptian celebration held between the end of Pharmouthi and the beginning of Pashons.
It marked the first day of the harvest season and symbolically linked the birth of child gods to the gathering of new crops.
These deities were perceived as providers of fertility and their cyclical rebirth as young solar gods ensured the regeneration of the sun.
The festival also incorporated the cult of the reigning monarch, who was identified with the divine child of the local triad, thus reinforcing the legitimacy of royal succession.
