Easter Tours to Cairo, Alexandria and Hurghada

Easter is an important religious holiday for Christians around the world, including Egypt. In Egypt, Easter is celebrated by the Coptic Orthodox Church, which is the largest Christian denomination in the country.

 

The date of Easter varies each year, as it is determined by the lunar calendar. Generally, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. However, it's important to note that the Coptic Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar for calculating the date of Easter, which can sometimes result in a different date compared to Western Christianity.

 

During the Easter season, Coptic Christians in Egypt engage in various religious activities and traditions. These may include attending special church services, participating in processions, and engaging in prayer and fasting. The week leading up to Easter Sunday, known as Holy Week or Passion Week, is particularly significant. It commemorates the events leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

 

In addition to the religious observances, Easter is also a time for families to come together and celebrate. Many people exchange greetings and well wishes, and it's common to see festive decorations and special meals being prepared. Traditional Egyptian Easter dishes may include feseekh (salted and fermented fish), colored eggs, and a variety of sweets and pastries.

 

It's worth noting that the exact customs and traditions surrounding Easter in Egypt may vary between different regions and communities. If you're planning to visit Egypt during the Easter holidays, it's a good idea to check the specific dates and local customs in the area you'll be visiting to ensure you can fully experience and respect the local traditions.
