The Mysteries were created by Demeter as a remembrance to her lost daughter Demeter, as a result many of the rituals and sacrifices incorporated into the mysteries are to please Demeter and show her respect. The main leaders and parts within the ceremony represent aspects of Demeter's search for Persephone and are roles that are taken on by mortals in the place of Demeter. such as the, 'Priestess to Demeter' and 'the torch bearer' who represents Demeter's wonderings on earth in search of Persephone.
