Spill the Nile called the arrival of Hapi - god of Upper and Lower Nile. It was a holy time for Egypt, after a drought threatens the very existence of the agricultural state. Therefore, from the rising of Sirius began a new period of life of ancient Egyptians, who at that time ended up sitting down.

Preparing for the New Year began well before the spill. In the temple farms fattened sacrificial bulls and birds, stocked with aromatic oils and resins. Priests expected arrival of water, and the day before the date fixed for the people going to the beach and greeted shafts that ran from north to south. Ahead were the priests of temples, and everywhere people joyfully welcomed the life-giving water.

On the day of flooding of the Nile sacrifices Hapi, threw into the river papyrus scrolls written on them with a list of gifts. The statues of the god Amun, his wife and son were placed in the boat. The boat floated down the Nile month. This was accompanied by singing, dancing and merriment. Then the statue have made back to the temple. When celebrating the New Year of the Egyptians it was customary to fill the special vessels "holy water" from the Nile overflowed and the water which at that time was considered a miracle. Exempt from the work of the Egyptians came to visit friends and relatives with them commemorate their ancestors, and praised the gods.
