起源于公元前3700年前的古埃及法老时期,是古埃及人庆祝春季来临的节日,他们也称其为春节。古埃及人根据节气变化,选择每年春季白天与黑夜时间正好对半的那一天为闻风节,认为这天是世界的诞生日。
庆祝方式
从清晨起,人们会举家外出,拥向公园、海滨、尼罗河畔等地,享受春天的气息,欣赏民间艺术团体的演出,能歌善舞的游人也会自唱自跳。
节日饮食
传统美食有鸡蛋、咸鱼、生菜、大葱和霍姆斯豆。古埃及人视鸡蛋为生命的起源,咸鱼象征着丰收和吉祥。
节日意义
它不仅是家人团聚和外出春游的日子,也承载着人们祈祝人间祥和太平和春光永驻的美好愿望。此外,一些史学家认为,世界上许多国家的春节和基督教的复活节都起源于埃及的闻风节。
