第一篇:There are mang traditional festivals in China.Spring Festival is the most important for Chinese.It's at the end of January or the beginning of February.It marks the beginning of the lunar year.Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day after Spring Festival.Dragon-boat Festival falls in June and is in memory of Qu Yuan,a famous poet in ancientChina. Mid-autumn Festival comes in September.It is the time for families to get together. 第二篇:Mother's Day Mothering Sunday was an English observance whereby people were encouraged to return on the 4th Sunday of Lent to the church in which they were baptized, their “Mother Church”. Naturally, this often meant returning to their hometown. At the time it was common for children as young as 10 to be away from home working so it became the custom that they were on this day allowed to return to visit their families. This evolved into a day for showing respect and love for one's mother. Mother's Day in the USA, on the second Sunday of May, has a different origin. It did not develop from another practice as in England, but was instigated in the early 20th Century as a day specifically for expressing gratitude to the Nation's Mothers. Father's Day, not as is often believed invented by card companies, actually originated in the USA only a little later, inspired by Mother's Day. 中文:圣诞节 虽然对基督教徒来说,圣诞节并不是其最重要的节日,但是在西方,它却是一个最受广泛庆祝的节日。
圣诞节庆祝的是两千多年前弥赛亚(犹太人盼望的复国救主)在巴勒斯坦伯利恒的诞生。这个弥赛亚就是耶稣(基督教信奉的救世主)。
基督教徒相信,耶稣是被派来拯救人类并协助人们摆脱罪恶的救世主。如今,就算你已经忘记了这个节日的本来意义也不会有人怪罪你,因为,现在的圣诞节已经演变成为大肆消费、狂欢与纵情享受的节日。
在这个节日里,亲人们、朋友间都会互送礼物,满载着“节日祝福”的贺卡也会送到每一个人的手中。“圣诞之父”(Father Christmas),也就是我们所熟知的“圣诞老人”(Santa Claus),据说会在圣诞节前夕顺着烟囱下来,给世界各地的孩子们送去礼物,这些收到礼物的孩子必定是那些在过去的一年中各方面表现都很优秀的孩子。
圣诞节的另一个重点是圣诞树,在这一天,人们会围着圣诞树跳舞,这也表明圣诞树是圣诞节形成之前的隆冬节日的重要组成部分。 感恩节 在美国,感恩节是一个非常重要的节日。
感恩节是在11月的最后一个星期四,它的纪念主题正如它的名字本身所提到的,感谢我们所拥有的一切。最早开始庆祝这个节日的是“五月花号”上的清教徒们。
在渡过了一个难熬的严冬后,他们获得了一次大丰收,于是,他们决定举行一个盛大的宴会来表达他们的感激之情。在英国传统的“收获感恩节”中,“感恩节”还有另外一个重要的因素,那就是清教徒们邀请91个当地的印第字安人共同庆祝这个节日,这91个人正是在那个寒冬中给了他们极大支持的人,确实是他们需要感谢的人。
然而,这种友谊并未能延续多长时间,几年之后,清教徒们一致谴责这些印第安人是野蛮人。如今,这个节日演变成了一个有机会让家庭成员聚集在一起的节日。
在这个节日中,大家在一起享用传统美食,如烤火鸡,南瓜馅饼等这些节日特色食物。
For every chinese people, The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Before Spring Festival, we will do some cleaning in our house; will decorate the doors and windows with paper-cuts; will buy new clothes and gifts for family. On New Year's Eve, Family have a big dinner, we eat dumplings and many delicious foods. We watch Spring Festival Gala Evening on TV. At midnight, we play fireworks to celebrate the new year's coming.。
Hallowmas usually occurs inthe Crone Moon, with the Full Moon in Taurus. During that Moon, Ievaluate the past year. I look inward and turn what I have learnedinto wise lessons for life. Hallowmas is the point at which I letgo of what is no longer valuable, in a ceremony of thanks andsurrender.
But Hallowmas is also thequintessential Witchy holiday. At this time, the veil between theWorlds is thinnest, and we can receive guidance from theOtherworld.
春节是中国的传统节日,大家都很喜欢春节,在大年三十这一天,一家人会聚在一起吃年夜饭,无论身处何处的游子们都会给家人送去祝福,小孩是最喜欢过年的,因为过年的时候,小孩可以得到红包。
至于春节为什么要放鞭炮,收红包,还有一个故事:相传,中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽,头长触角,凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底,每到除夕才爬上岸,吞食牲畜伤害人命。
因此,每到除夕这天,村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山,以躲避“年”兽的伤害。这年除夕,桃花村的人们正扶老携幼上山避难,从村外来了个乞讨的老人,只见他手拄拐杖,臂搭袋囊,银须飘逸,目若朗星。
乡亲们有的封窗锁门,有的收拾行装,有的牵牛赶羊,到处人喊马嘶,一片匆忙恐慌景象。这时,谁还有心关照这位乞讨的老人。
只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物,并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽,那老人捋髯笑道:“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜,我一定把‘年’兽撵走”。老婆婆惊目细看,见他鹤发童颜、精神矍铄,气宇不凡。
可她仍然继续劝说,乞讨老人笑而不语。婆婆无奈,只好撇下家,上山避难去了。
半夜时分,“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同:村东头老婆婆家,门贴大红纸,屋内烛火通明。
“年”兽浑身一抖,怪叫了一声。“年”朝婆婆家怒视片刻,随即狂叫着扑过去。
将近门口时,院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声,“年”浑身战栗,再不敢往前凑了。原来,“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。
这时,婆婆的家门大开,只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色,狼狈逃蹿了。
第二天是正月初一,避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时,老婆婆才恍然大悟,赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。
乡亲们一齐拥向老婆婆家,只见婆婆家门上贴着红纸,院里一堆未燃尽的竹子仍在"啪啪"炸响,屋内几根红蜡烛还发着余光……欣喜若狂的乡亲们为庆贺吉祥的来临,纷纷换新衣戴新帽,到亲友家道喜问好。这件事很快在周围村里传开了,人们都知道了驱赶"年"兽的办法。
从此每年除夕,家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早,还要走亲串友道喜问好。
