Throughout history, religion has been always an integral part of the Egyptians’ everyday lives and their intangible cultural heritage at large. It has also played a significant role as a means of connecting people and maintaining political power and social order.

Moreover, it stresses on the fact that the celebration of Moulid Sidi Al-Eryan exemplifies the shared cultural heritage of Christians and Muslims, religious tolerance, interdependence as partners in the homeland.
