Egyptian Christmas traditions

 Egyptian Christmas traditions are a unique blend of cultural heritage and religious customs, celebrated mainly by the Coptic Christian community. Christmas in Egypt is observed on January 7th, aligning with the Julian calendar. The festivities begin with a 43-day fast, known as the “Holy Nativity Fast,” during which many Egyptians adhere to a vegan diet, refraining from all animal products. On Christmas Eve, families attend a midnight mass service, often held at the historic St. Mark’s Cathedral in Cairo or local churches across the country. After the service, a festive meal is shared, featuring traditional dishes like “Fatta,” a hearty dish made with bread, rice, and meat.
