The Moulids of Egypt
Postscript summary
JW McPherson, a British intelligence officer in Egypt for more than thirty years, devoted his retirement to researching the country’s religious festivals. Combining veneration with fairs, feasting and games, these ancient, unofficial celebrations attracted Muslims and Christians alike. Ranging from large-scale processions to small local events, many were already fading away when his classic account was first published in 1941.
