Roman Catholic AnswerBecause seven is the number of sacraments that God has established, and it is always better to follow what God decides than what men decide.
Catholic & Orthodox follow the 7 Sacraments (though in Catholicism a person may only take at the most, 6 Sacraments). Protestants do not have all 7 Sacraments.
Egypt does not celebrate Christmas. Egypt is mostly an Islamic country. There is a very low amount of Christians/Catholics in Egypt, and if they are Christians/Catholics then they celebrate it the way everyone else celebrates it.

I assume you are referring to the seven sacraments of Catholicism and the Orthodox Churches. The Catholics and Orthodox (which were a single Church until the twelth century, more or less), believe that the seven Sacraments were instituted by Jesus Christ Himself, in an early form, when He was on earth. The seven sacraments are Baptism, Confession or Reconciliation, Eucharist (Communion), Confirmation, Holy Orders, Matrimony (Marriage), and Viaticum (Anointing of the Sick).
Baptism IS an important Sacrament for Catholics. It is the first Sacrament of 7 that we receive.

The pope is a priest and bishop and. as such, can administer all 7 sacraments.
The Catholic Church has 7 sacraments, not only 4. Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Confession, Anointing of the Sick.
