# There's no Tachanun for the entire month of Nissan. <Ref>S"A 429:2 writes that there's no Tachanun for the entire month of Nissan. Mishan Brurah 429:7 explains that since the Nesiyim (in Bamidbar 7) brought the Korbanot for the first 12 days of Nissan, the days were considered a Yom Tov for them. Then [[Erev Pesach]], Pesach, and Issru Chag are connected to [[Pesach]]. Altogether since most of the month is related to Kedusha it's all considered Kodesh. Chazon Ovadyah (pg 2) adds that the celebration of the building of the third Bet Hamikdash, which will occur in Nissan and in particular on Pesach, will extend for another week after [[Pesach]]. This is also brought down in Shu"t Chatam Sofer 103. </ref>
