  It's just an Egyptain tradition...it has no religious significance whatsoever. I think they use to do it during the Pharoh and stuff..and we just kept the tradition..but it's like for all egys not just us "coptics"

  yea sham il neseem means "smelling the breeze" or something like that its just to celebrate spring usually people everywhere in egypt just go have fun at a park or something
  
  Actually the easter egg i believe i heard is a tradition, after Jesus resurrected, it is said that Mary Magdalene went to preach about Christ so she went to an emperor ...not sure but i think his name was Caesar (i dont know which 1 cause theres a bunch of caesars) and she was trying to explain to him how Jesus was in the grave and after 3 days he rose from the dead, he laughed and did not believe her, so she got an egg, and told him if the little chick can hatch out of the shell of the egg, then God can definetly come out of the grave....something like that
