Christmas in Egypt

Most Egyptians today are Muslims therefore they do not celebrate Christmas as such although they do commemorate the birth of Jesus, but they celebrate the festivals Eid - ul - Fitr and Eid - Ul - Adha.

However, Egypt's Christian Copts celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January. The preceding Advent is for 40 days when the Copts should abstain from eating meat, poultry and dairy products. However, nowadays, people only really do this during the last week of Advent.

On Christmas Eve, Egyptians go to church wearing new clothes and Mass goes on until midnight. Bells are rung to mark the end of the service and people go home after they receive the special bread called 'qurban' (meaning sacrifice) at the end of the service. This bread has a Holy Cross in the middle and 12 dots to represent the 12 apostles.

Then they eat a special Christmas meal at home called 'Fata'. This meal uses bread, rice, garlic and boiled meat as its main constituents. In the morning, people visit their friends and neighbors and exchange 'kaik' (a type of shortbread) that is eaten with a drink called 'shortbat'.

Christmas is celebrated as a public holiday, especially for the Christians. Since Christians believe that Jesus, Mary and Joseph fled to Egypt for fear of Herod's plan, the Coptic churches are decorated with candles and lamps on Christmas to remind the Coptic Christians of when Joseph lit candles to keep Mary warm during the birth of Jesus.

In Egypt traditions are influenced by regional culture throughout Egypt so there are some differences depending on location.

Nasser (the Egyptian leader) blocked it to reduce oil exports to Western Europe. This was after Britain and France were forced by the U.S. to withdraw their troops from Egypt after the Suez War.

Napoleon invaded Egypt because of 3 reasons:

1) A strong French army in the East would threaten to disrupt England's rich Asian trade.

2) The thought of Egypt as a French colony was an alluring idea.

3) The Egyptian expedition would be infinitely cheaper and less risky than an invasion of the British Isles.

4) European greed

Egyptian children were taught to become scribes if that's what they studied. If you weren't studying to become a scribe you would have went with a person who was working as what you wanted to work as.

In modern Egypt, children learn almost the same subjects taught in Western

Countries. Students in Egypt study math, Arabic, English, science, geography, history, PE, religion mainly in primary school.

Egypt was absorbed into the Roman Empire in 30 B.C.E. with the death of Cleopatra.

The land of Egypt was found by Hominids at least 100,000 years ago.

Egypt is the African country with Cairo as the capital.

It was correctly forecasted that the construction of the Aswan High Dam would create a lake behind it (which has since been termed Lake Nasser. The Temple of Abu Simbel was in the floodplain of this soon-to-be lake. In order to preserve the temple, it was cut into blocks and transported to a location outside of the floodplain and painstakingly rebuilt.

Currently, no. Egypt has a high degree of internal strife, but it does not rise to the level of civil war.
