minhag - Tachnun in Nissan


Why is there no Tachnun said in the month of Nissan?

MB: 429(2) Twelve Nesiyim brought korbonos for twelve days and for each it was Yom Tov on their day, Erev Pesach, Pesach and Isru Chag added together gives a majority of the month in at least partial Kedushah, therefore the whole month is considered Kodesh.


The gemara in Menochos 65a says the the first eight days were designated as a celebration for the re-establishemnet of the Tomid at the time of the Sadduccees and no fasting was permitted on these days. (Be'er Haitaiv)
