Ancient Egyptians had an elaborate system of ordination to the priesthood which took many years of study learning the secrets of the hosts of Egyptian gods and goddesses. This could involve fasting for forty days during which time the novices ate only vegetable matter and drank no wine or the very portent beer available at the time. Modern day Egypt is largely an Islamic country so the people of this particular faith observe the thirty day fast of Ramadan which celebrates the time when the Angel Gabriel began dictating the Qur'an to Mohammed and is usually celebrated in September. In modern times the dates for the celebration of Ramadan may vary slightly to accomodate the modern workaday society, especially in some of the larger cities eg. Cairo where Ramadan begins during the middle of August.
