Egypt does not traditionally celebrate Easter
in the same way as many Western countries do. However, Egypt does have a
significant Christian population, and Easter is an important religious holiday
for Egyptian Christians.
In Egypt, Easter is known as "Eid
al-Fisek" or "Sham El-Nessim." It is primarily celebrated by the
Coptic Orthodox Christian community, which represents the majority of
Christians in Egypt. The date of Easter in Egypt is determined by the Coptic
Orthodox Church, which follows the Julian calendar for its liturgical events.
Easter Sunday in Egypt typically involves
attending church services, where special liturgies are held to commemorate the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. After the church service, families and friends
gather to enjoy a festive meal together. Traditional Egyptian Easter dishes may
include lamb, feseekh (a type of salted and fermented fish), and various
vegetarian dishes.
In addition to the religious observances,
Easter Monday in Egypt is a public holiday known as "Sham El-Nessim."
It is celebrated by both Christians and Muslims throughout the country. On this
day, people often go out for picnics in parks, gardens, or along the Nile
River. They bring food, play games, and enjoy outdoor activities with their families
and friends.
