The triad of heavenly Horae were mythically virginized as three maiden saints martyred together, Agape, Chionia, and Irene (Love-feast, She of Chios and Peace).
They were often known as Charites or Graces, since they dealt in the unique combination of beauty and kindness called charis (Latin caritas that was later translated to “charity.” Actually it was like Hindu karuna, a combination of mother-love, tenderness, comfort, mystical enlightenment and sex.
(See, Book of the Dead at 497.) The Dance of the Hours began as a pagan ceremony of the Horae (divine “Whores”) who kept the hours of the night by dances, as Christian monks later kept the hours of the day by prayers.

 The Horae
The Horae were among the mathematici 'learned mothers' who defined the Zodiac and the star movements marking the seasons, one translation of the word 'hora.' Another is 'hour,' and the Horae developed various means to mark time.
The word 'whore' is now typically applied to any woman whose sexuality is either not controlled by a man (choosing who she sleeps with for herself) or any woman whose sexual expression is guided by the sum a man is willing to pay for it.
However, the word originally meant a woman who danced, particularly in honour of the Goddess, as in Hebrew hora, Egyptian Hor, and Old Norse hora.

In their role as temple-priestesses, the Horae or Holy Whores would perform a magic ceremony, then anoint a man's penis with sacred oil (called in Greek, chrism), and mount him to orgasm.
This allowed for the transfer of procreative power from female to male, since, according to Goddess tradition, men lack the ability to generate the life force.

 Horae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, the Horae (Latin) or Horai (Greek Ώραι; both words mean the "hours") were the three goddesses controlling orderly life.
There were two generations of Horae: (note: this does not refer to generation in the traditional sense of the second group being offspring of the first; earlier writers recognized the first generation and later authors subscribed to the second.)
The first generation consisted of Thallo, Auxo, and Carpo, who were the goddesses of the seasons (the Greeks only recognized spring, summer and winter).

 HORAE - LoveToKnow Article on HORAE
In later mythology, under Alexandrian influence, the Horae become the four seasons, daughters of Helios and Selene, each represented with the conventional attributes.
The selection of three as their number has been supposed to refer to th~ most ancient division of the year into spring, summer and winter, but it is probably only another instance of the Greek liking for that particular number or its multiples in such connections (three Moerae, Charites, Gorgons, nine Muses).
Subsequently, when the day was divided into twelve equal parts, each of them took the name of Hora.
