For example, eggs symbolize the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Just as a chick emerges from an egg by itself, Jesus Christ emerged from the grave, rising from the dead by himself. Hence the connection between Easter and Sham el-Nessim, which to this day is only determined based on Easter, becoming the second day of the feast and a symbol of Jesus Christ’s conquest of paradise, as celebrated by the Coptic Church.

The celebration of Easter, in the Christian liturgical calendar, begins with a special period. Lent is a season of preparation before the Easter celebrations. By observing the 40 days of Lent, Christians replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent is marked by fasting, both from food and festivities. It begins on Ash Wednesday, is the day following the Shrove Tuesday of Carnival, and ends with the Easter triduum, a period of three days' observance, specifically Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday. The duration recalls the 40 days spent by Jesus in the desert following his baptism in the Jordan River.

The last week of approaching Easter is called Holy Week and begins on the Sunday preceding the holiday. Palm Sunday, reminiscent of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, was welcomed by the crowd stirring branches of palm trees. In that same week, there is Holy Thursday, which begins the celebrations of the Easter triduum. The latter is composed of the three days that precede Easter and retrace the passion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Egypt boasts an interesting historical heritage, very rich and varied as well as an enviable climate, the combination of these factors makes this country the ideal destination for the holiday Easter tours, an excellent time to enjoy the beauty of the country in a sweet climate and temperate. Egypt also knows this holiday, which is celebrated religiously by Coptic Christians, but the ancient Egyptians hosted an occasion dedicated to spring almost concurrently, it is called Sham el-Nessim, and it would seem to find the roots of the current Christian Easter.
The great Pharaonic civilisation is the origin of Sham El Nessim, one of the earliest Egyptian celebrations. It was celebrated at the start of spring by the ancient Egyptians. Although it is a holiday with a purely Egyptian character, it is closely associated with the Christian Easter.
Already, the ancient Egyptians offered salted fish, lettuce, and onions to their deities during the spring festival known as Shemu. After the Christianization of Egypt, the feast was associated with Easter, because it also happened in the spring. With the Islamic conquest of Egypt, the party was established on Easter Monday. Being the lunar Islamic calendar and therefore not fixed with respect to the solar year, the date of Sham el-Nessim remained that linked to Christianity. The term Shemu was later adapted to Arabic as Sham el-Nessim or (Smelling the breeze).
