The Little Month
6 Sàttumbar – 10 Sàttumbar
5 days
2 saint commemorations
Nasie, the little month, gathers the last five days of the year — six when the year is generous — as Egypt waits for Nayrouz. Small as it is, its days carry their own commemorations, and its final evening closes the circle of the Coptic year.
