Хэллоуин традиционно отмечается в США, Канаде, Великобритании, Ирландии, а также в Испании и Латинской Америке, хотя официальным выходным или государственным праздником не является. Считается, что прототипом Хэллоуина является кельтский праздник. Празднование "Соуина"\Samhain, символизировавшего окончание лета, сельскохозяйственных работ и начало холодной зимы, ассоциировавшейся со смертью, проходило в канун кельтского нового года, который начинался 1 ноября. По поверью, в это время мертвые возвращались на землю, чтобы оценить дела своих потомков. Кельтские жрецы - друиды - в этот день предсказывали будущее. Кельты одевались в маскарадные костюмы, чтобы обмануть злых духов, которые могли наслать на них несчастье. Чтобы умилостивить духов, на порогах домов выставляли еду. Когда римские легионы завоевали Галлию, на этой территории смешались традиции Соуина\Samhain и двух латинских праздников Фералия\Feralia (приходился на конец октября, в этот день римляне поминали покойных) и дня Помоны\Pomona (богиня древесных плодов, супруга Вертумна, изображается с плодами - обычно с яблоками - и с садовым ножом). После распространения христианства языческие праздники попали под запрет. Папа Бонифаций IV объявил 1 ноября Днем Всех Святых - в этот день было положено поминать всех святых и мучеников. Новый праздник получил название Оллхоллуeс\Allhallowees (искаженная древнеанглийская фраза - месса всех святых), а ночь 31 октября (ночь Соуина) получила название "канун Оллхоллуеса" - Хэллоуин. Считалось, что в ночь Хэллоуина темные силы на время получают власть над землей и их надо отпугивать. Кроме того, бедным в этот день было положено дарить еду. Школьная Ярмарка 3 ноябрь 2015 г.

It was actually written for Thanksgiving, not Xmas. - The biggest selling Christmas single of all time is Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. - An old wives’ tale says that bread baked on Christmas. Eve will never go mouldy. If this was true, then bakeries would just have to make all their bread on Christmas Eve and they will never have to put best before dates ever again! - Christmas pudding was first made as a kind of soup with raisins and wine in it.

Christmas in literature Charles Dickens has probably had more influence on the way that the British celebrate Christmas today than any single individual in human history except one. At the beginning of the Victorian period the celebration of Christmas was decline. The industrial Revolution, in full swing in Dickens` time, allowed workers little time for the celebration of Christmas. The romantic revival of Christmas traditions that occurred in Victorian times had other contributors: Prince Albert brought the German custom of decorating the Christmas tree of England. The singing of Christmas carols began to thrive again, and the first Christmas card appeared in the 1840s, but it was the Christmas stories of Dickens, particularly his 1843 masterpiece A Christmas Carol, that rekindled the joy of Christmas in Britain and America. Today, after 169 years, A Christmas Carol gets to the heart and soul of the holidays. Dickens describes the holidays as «a good time: a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of other people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on their journeys.» This is what Dickens described for the rest of his life as the «Carol Philosophy». Dickens` name had become so synonymous with Christmas that on hearing of his death in 1870 a little *costermonger’s girl in London asked, «Mr Dickens dead? Then will Father Christmas die too?» *costermonger – a person who sells fruit and vegetables from a cart in the street, especially in London. Why do people love Christmas? Is it the sparkle on the tree, The green wreath on the door, The present tied with ribbon red, Or is it something more? The cheery greeting when we meet A friend along our way, The crunch of snow beneath our feet, The children in their play? We ask ourselves, What is it? But in the end we know It’s our love for one another That makes Christmas spirit glow. Школьная Ярмарка 7 ноябрь 2015 г. Christmas Questions 1. This word starts with an “H”.
