in April
Sham el-Nessim是埃及的一个传统节日，庆祝春天的到来和新生命的开始。 这个节日的历史可以追溯到公元前2700年前的古埃及法老时期，当时被称为Shamo，意为“万物复苏”。后来演变为Sham el-Nessim，字面意思是“闻风”，象征着春天的气息。 12
Sham el-Nessim的庆祝活动通常在每年的3月下旬至4月进行，一般在 复活节第二天。这个节日与古埃及人的农耕背景有关，古埃及人认为这一天不冷不热，温度适宜，万物复苏，是世界的诞生日。因此，闻风节实际上是庆祝春天的到来和新生命的开始。
在庆祝活动中，埃及人会进行踏青和野餐，享受春天的美好。传统的食品包括彩蛋、腌鱼、大葱、生菜和霍姆斯豆。彩蛋象征生命和新生，腌鱼则是感谢尼罗河的养育之恩。大葱在节日中也有特殊意义，传说中曾用来治愈一位王子的怪病，因此成为节日的象征。
