First of All Happy Easter to every one
Easter dates back to Ancient Egyptians. They used to celebarate coming of Spring by going out to gardens and fields where they enjoyed the nice weather after the rainy winter. At that time it was called Shemo, with the word shemo in Ancient Egyptian language to mean smelling the flowers.
Later, when christianity came they celeberated the resurrection of christ which happened to occur in approximately the same time of the year, so both ceelebrations joined together, and remained so in Egypt uptill nowadays.
When the Arabs came to Egypt, they recognised this festival and celeberated it together with the Egyptians at that time and the name was a little bit modified to become Sham Nesim.
But of course, Spring welcoming is a tradition in approximately every country in the world. Winter in the past was the season for crops cultivating with all the effort it takes. Spring coming after that is the season for harvesting the winter crops and enjoying life with all nice things int it wealth, weather and beauty.
Again Happy Easter to Every one.
