Úryvek

"British holidays and feast: In the United Kingdom, they call official days off bank holidays. The banks close for a day, and so do most businesses and services. New Year’s Day is the first bank holiday in the year. May Day is in early May, Spring Bank Holiday at the end of May and then finally Summer Bank Holiday at the end of August, when there is a mass rush to the seaside. Christmas and Easter are also considered bank holidays. St. Patrick was an Irish saint and his day (March 17th) is very important for Irish people all over the world. It is very popular in cities where there are many Irish Americans. Green is the Irish colour and some bars sell green beer. People often wear something green on this day. In New York the Irish people always have a big St. Patrick's Day parade. May 1st was an important day in the Middle Ages. In the very early morning, young girls went to the fields and washed their faces with dew. They believed that this made them very beautiful for a year after that. Also on May Day the young men of each village tried to win prizes with their bows and arrows, and people danced round the maypole. Many English villages still have a maypole, and on May 1st the villagers dance around it. The Queen´s officials Birthday are celebrated during June. It is connected with many interesting ceremonials as Trooping the colours. Midsummer's Day, June 24th, is the longest day of the year. On that day people can see a very old custom at Stonehenge, in Wiltshire, England. Stonehenge is one of Europe's biggest stone circles. A lot of the stones are ten or twelve metres high. It's also very old. The earliest part of Stonehenge is nearly 5,000 years old. We think the Druids used it for a calendar. The Druids were the priests in Britain 2,000 years ago. There are Druids in Britain today, too."
