EASTER TRADITIONS IN ENGLAND

• As a part of Easter tradition, there is a trend among British people to eat yummy hams, in order to commemorate the Easter Sunday.


• In England, special springtime dance troupes are called upon, to give exclusive Morris dance performances. This trend of holding dances is not new; rather it is a century old tradition.


• In a small town of England called Olney, the tradition is of conducting pancake race on every Shrove Tuesday. It is an event that is celebrated on a large scale and people have a real gala time enjoying this unique day also addressed as Pancake Tuesday.


• Churches are beautifully decorated with different color flowers. White lilies are placed on the altar and these gorgeous flowers are also displayed on the graveyard.


• For offering prayers in the church, men and women dress up in their special outfits and as a part of their wardrobe, colorful Easter bonnets embellished with flowers is like a must.


• Special Easter parades are held in Britain and the parade conducted at Battersea Park in London is a very popular one.

Happy St. Patrick's day !!!

One of the greatest Irish festivals, St. Patrick's Day or Paddy's Day commemorates the death of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. A festive day for the Irish people, St. Patrick's Day is a festive public holiday in the Republic of Ireland and also celebrated with much enthusiasm in places such as Canada, Great Britain, Australia, the United States and New Zealand. Sumptuous feasts, green clothes, frothy delights, joyous merrymaking with friends and family - all are parts of this grand occassion.

SOME FUN THINGS TO DO FOR SAINT PATRICK'S DAY

1) Go to Saint Patrick's Day parade. This is fun for young and old, and many communities have them.
2) Cook an Irish dish. The classic is corn beef and cabbage, but there are plenty of other choices as well.
3) Go to an Irish pub.
4) A top choice, even if you aren't Irish, is to throw a party! It is a traditional party holiday after all.

5) Wear a costume. There are some fantastic ones available and they are not very expensive.
6) If a costume isn't for you, perhaps just a hat will go?
7) If you can't quite do the hat or costume thing, at least wear something green.
