HOLIDAYS
IN GREAT BRITAIN
What holidays in Great Britain do you know?
Many festivals and holidays in Britain
are very old. Every town, village in
Britain has its own traditions, some of
them are carefully planned.
Christmas is celebrated on the 25th
December. It is the time when Christians
around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Most people are on holiday in the UK and stay
at home with their family on Christmas day.
Christmas Day is the favourite day for children.
They wake up very early in the morning to find
their stockings have been filled by Father
Christmas
Boxing Day is usually celebrated on the
following day after Christmas Day. It is
the day to open the Christmas Box to
share the contents with the poor. Boxing
Day is the day when families get
together. It is a day of watching sports
and playing board games with the
family. Many families go on walks in the
countryside.
New Year's Day is the first day of the year, in the
Gregorian calendar. All over Britain there are parties,
fireworks, singing and dancing, to ring out the old
year and ring in the new. As the clock - Big Ben -
strikes midnight, people link arms and sing a song.
6 January
  Epiphany, or Twelfth Night, marks the
end of the Christmas and New Year
season for most people in the United
Kingdom (UK). It is also an occasion for
Christians to celebrate the three kings'
(or wise men's) visit to Jesus shortly after
his birth and Jesus' baptism.
People with romantic feelings for a
particular person may send that
person cards, gifts and text messages
on Valentine's Day. Popular gifts
include chocolates and flowers.
1April
  A day of jokes and tricks. You have
to play the joke before 12 o’clock
midday, otherwise the joke is on you.
No one really knows when this
custom began but it has been kept for
hundreds of years.
The First of April, some do say
Is set apart for All Fools Day;
But why the people call it so,
Not I, nor they themselves do know.
Mothering Sunday, sometimes
known as Mother's Day, is held
on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is
exactly three weeks before Easter
Sunday and usually falls in the
second half of March or the
beginning of April.
Traditionally, people visited the
church where they were
baptized. People visit and take
gifts to their mothers and
grandmothers.
Good Friday is a public holiday in the United Kingdom.
It falls just before Easter Sunday. People who regularly
attend church will probably attend a special church
service on Good Friday. For other people, it is a day off
work in the spring. Some people use the day to work in
their gardens, while others take advantage of the long
Easter weekend and the school holidays at this time
ofyear to take a short vacation.
Easter usually comes in the month of
April. However, Easter can fall as early
as March 22 or as late as April 25.
 Easter Sunday in the United Kingdom is
traditionally about Jesus Christ's
resurrection from death, according to
Christian belief. However, many people
use the day to decorate Easter eggs,
share chocolate eggs and participate in
Easter egg competitions. Easter is the
time for holidays, festivals.
Queen Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary)
was born on 21 April, 1926 at 17 Bruton
Street, London. Her birthday is officially
celebrated in Britain on the second Saturday of
June each year. The day is referred to as “the
Trooping of the Colour”, the official name is
“the Queen’s Birthday Parade”.
The official birthday of Queen
Elizabeth II is marked by a military
parade known as Trooping the
Colour (Carrying of the Flag). Each
June, the Queen and other
members of the Royal Family attend
the Trooping the Colour ceremony
on Horse Guards Parade.
St. George's Day is on 23 April. It is England's
national day. St George's Day in the United
Kingdom remembers St George, England's patron
saint. The anniversary of his death, which is on
April 23, is seen as England's national day.
According to legend, he was a soldier in the
Roman army who killed a dragon and saved a
princess.
The first Monday of May is a bank holiday in the United
Kingdom. It called May Day in England, Wales and
Northern Ireland. It is known as the Early May Bank Holiday
in Scotland. It probably originated as a Roman festival
honoring the beginning of the summer season. In more
recent times, it has been as a day to campaign for and
celebrate workers' rights.
The last Monday in May is a bank holiday.
Many organizations, businesses and
schools are closed. Some people choose
to take a short trip or vacation. Others use
the time to walk in the country, catch up
with family and friends, visit garden
centers or do home maintenance.
In England, Wales and Northern
Ireland, the summer bank holiday is on
the last Monday of August. In Scotland it
is on the first Monday of August. This
day marks the end of the summer
holidays for many people who return to
work or school in the autumn.
From the 19th Century to the present day, 31st
          October has increasingly acquired a reputation as
          a night on which ghost, witches, and fairies, are
          especially active. Halloween celebrations include
          costume parties where people dress as witches,
          ghosts, and animal figures associated with
          Halloween
