As befitted his nocturnal station, Osiris was venerated in a festival which took place at night.
Herodotus tells us that the grave of Osiris was at Sais in Lower Egypt, and that there was a lake there upon which the sufferings of the god were displayed as a mystery by night.
This commemoration of the divine passion was held once a year and an image of a cow, made of gilt with a golden sun between its horns, was carried out of the chamber in which it stood the rest of the year A great feature of the festival was the nocturnal illumination.
People fastened rows of oil lamps to the outside of their houses, and the lamps burned all night long. The custom was not confined to Sais, but was observed throughout the whole of Egypt.
Another celebration connected with Osiris was the Sed festival which has been claimed to be the oldest Egyptian feast of which we yet retain a trace.
This particular event was held every thirty years which makes it significant since thirty years is the period of Saturns revolution around the Sun.
this correlation of the Sed festival with the planets revolution has been noticed, and commented upon, by several scholars before.
The Sed, of course, was a royal jubilee festival which the pharaoh held after having reigned thirty years. Lucky was the pharaoh who could celebrate two such jubilees.

>I think what you're seeing is our transition from previous deities
the ancients had no need to deify the planets because, to them, the planets had always been deities.
They were, to be sure, the only deities they knew.
In other words, planets/Stars were gods; gods were planets/stars: planets/stars and gods were one and the same.
The civilization of Uruk traces to that of Sumer.
And it is precisely here that the truth can be run to ground for the language of Sumer is the oldest written language that we have.
And in that language, very much as in that of the Egyptians (to the ancient Egyptians, the synonymy of gods and planets was so complete that, in some instances, the same word was employed to signify either. Thus sba, among other things, meant "star," but Sba was also the name of a "star" god. The word netru meant "stars," but it also meant "gods."),
so in Uruk the word and/or cuneiform sign for "god" and "star" was one and the same - * - a symbol derived from the pictograph which preceded cuneiform writing is the very picture of a star.
This not only proves that stars and gods were thought of as being truly synonymous as far back as written records reach, it also indicates that the very concept of God has its origin in a star and this star was the Saturnian Sun.
