The priest strolled through the crowd, his arms full of pink-wrapped goodies, calling out to the little ones with a warm, ‘May God keep you!’ and ‘The little ones, the little ones!’ Children giggled as they received their treats, while adults were not left out—one was even invited with a friendly, ‘Okay uncle, come, come take it!’ The priest’s cheerful greetings and blessings filled the air, making everyone feel like part of one big family.

Tradition met togetherness

This wasn’t just a one-off sugar spree. The priest explained that giving out Mawlid sweets is a cherished tradition, especially for the kids. He handed out everything from popcorn to the classic Mawlid doll, sharing the joy with vacationers and locals alike. The custom, he said, is all about blessing the children and keeping the spirit of togetherness alive year after year.

Unity made Egypt shine

Egypt’s magic lies in its unity, and moments like these prove it. The priest’s sweet gesture wasn’t just about candy—it was a reminder that kindness and community are at the heart of Egyptian life. As the crowd cheered and the sweets disappeared, Hurghada’s streets buzzed with laughter, proving that a little sweetness can go a long way in bringing people together.
