In this article, we want to show you why going to Egypt during Christmas is a great idea.
How does Egypt celebrate Christmas?
It’s always a good idea for tourists to visit the land where the ancient pharaohs once ruled. Still, during the Christmas season, Egypt gets a lot of visitors because of its warm weather, beautiful scenery, and delicious food. It’s nice to make Egypt stand out from other countries in this way.
What does Egypt eat for Christmas?
Egypt celebrates Christmas with food, decorations, traditions, and parties, just like the rest of the world.
The Coptic Orthodox Church, to which most Christians in Egypt belong, has some unique holiday traditions.
They are Orthodox Christians, like most Egyptian Christians, and celebrate Christmas on January 7. A 45-day fast starts on November 25 and lasts until the evening of January 6. The average person no longer eats meat, poultry, or dairy products.
In the weeks before Christmas, every Christian home and church has trees, lights, and small cribs set up. And on Christmas Eve, everyone dresses up like they’re going to a party and goes to church.
At 11 o’clock, the Pope of the Orthodox Church will start the ceremony at the beautiful St. Mark’s Cathedral in Cairo. After the Christmas ceremony, many people would make a special meal called Fata, which includes bread, rice, garlic, and boiled pork.
