Feasting lasts two days, but fasting is done for 43 days before that. The Christmas observance begins 43 days before Christmas (Advent) with fasting, which means eating a mainly vegan diet (no meat or dairy products). Christmas Eve is January 6th and most people attend Mass. After Mass, they go home to eat a big Christmas meal. On Christmas Day, January 7, people visit with friends and family for parties and festivities.

Only approximately 15% of Egypt's population is Christian, but others often observe Christmas as a secular holiday.
