Each country has its own dishes on Easter day.
In Egypt, on Easter day, the Egyptian Orthodox Christians (which represents 10% of the population) saw carnivores, as 50 days earlier, by fasting Lent, saw vegetarians during the 6 weeks before Easter – they only eat vegetables, seeds, etc. …
So whatever you are lucky and invited on this day, get ready, as you only roll every kind of meat you can imagine: duck, goose, pigeon, beef, fish until almost human, so hard to go without eating meat during the 50 days…
Staying 50 days not only of fasting but also of sex among Christian couples, so Easter is a long-awaited day…
So, if you are invited to a Christian house that day, it is better to have dinner and leave (even because there is not Brazil, where a visit takes all day: eat and have coffee and breakfast, eat and dinner… There people are Practical: Had lunch and had your tea, it can leak, as there are urgent things to do in bed).
The coincidence is that Easter every year in Egypt, is in the same period of the festival of “Sham Nesim”, ancient Egyptian festival where celebrates the day of creation of the world according to mythology, eating colored egg, salted fish, lettuce and onion. raw – 4 symbols of Renaissance and Fertility in Egyptian mythology.
