About Before 4500 years,ancient Egyptians were celebrating the beginning of spring season according to the coptic calander which match the twenty first of March by going out doors to gardens & river Nile , having their meals almostly of colored eggs,salted fish,lettuce & green chick peas .Each kind of these food represents a certain source of life .They believed that God created a holy egg in the very beginning & sent it to earth to initiate life there !
An egg rested on a T shape was taken as a symbol for this process,where the horizontal line means heaven & the vertical one means sent to earth !this was known as the Egyptian cross or ( Key of Life ), (all pharaoh statues are holding this key in their right hands ),
fish represent water life ,they had to to use salted ones instead of fresh cause there is no fishing in spring time for getting new generation ,Lettuce & green chick peas represent earthly life .
When Egypt converted to Christianity ,Egyptians continued celebrating all their old festivals , but a problem was appeared then here, that the wouldn't able to eat eggs & fish in this festival cause they were fasting during this time ,so they desided to delay celebrating this great festival to the next day after the Easter when fasting is over , so it always comes monday !
Muslims & Christians celebrate this beautiful day all together , going picnic to gardens ,voyages in the river Nile & in clubs , eating colored eggs ( they color it to get wonderful & cheerful life ),salted fish , lettuce & green chick peas , decorating every where with flowers, roses & palm leaves !
we call this day ( Shamm Enneseem ) comming on second May if God willing !

Such a beautiful composition, Inji. I especially like, how the picture on the wall is reflected in the flowers on the table. Your aubout is very educative, love it. I didn't know that the tradition of easter eggs is that old.

Happy Easter, Markus
