Chapter 8 British Holidays and Festivals 英国的节假日I. Religious Holidays*Most of the world’s religions are practiced in Britain, with sizeable Hindu(印度教), Muslim and Sikh（印度锡克教职工）communities and many smaller groupsChristian festivals---Christmas: the biggest and the most popular British holiday celebrated on December 25th each year to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. People usually decorate homes with evergreen plants, Christmas trees and ornaments. They also exchange gifts and Christmas cards. Three typical British traditions on Christmas are: the Christmas Pantomime(圣诞童话剧), the Queen’s speech over the television and radio, and the Boxing Day（节礼日）.the Christmas Pantomime: a typical British Christmas tradition. It is a comical musical play usually based on a popular traditional children’s story. There are two main ch aracters in the play: “the principal boy”, played by a young woman, and “the Dame”（滑稽老太婆角色）, played by a man. It is a play with songs and jokes which can be enjoyed by both adults and children.Boxing Day: a typical British tradition celebrated on the day after Christmas.People used to give Christmas gifts or money to their staff or servants on this day.And now they mostly do shopping, pay visits, enjoy eating or just relax.---Easter (the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or next after March 21. 复活节3月21日或其后月满之后的第一个星期天). This festival occurs in the spring, which commemorates the crucifixion(钉死在十字架上)and resurrection (复活) of Jesus Christ. It is the most important Christian festival for many church-goers. The Easter egg, originally a Christian symbol of new life, is the main symbol of Easter for most people. Rabbits and chicks are also animals traditionally associated with Easter and widely appear in chocolate form around this time.* Christmas and Easter have been adopted and celebrated by non-Christian people who emphasise the secular rather than the religious aspects of the holidays.Islamic festival---Ramadan(斋月): a traditional Islamic festival, a fast (禁食) which lasts 29 days during which nothing can be eaten or drunk between dawn and nightfall, and ends with a festivalII. national holidays---the Queen’s birthday (one of Britain’s most impressive and color ful festivals) celebrated officially on the 2nd Saturday in June by “Trooping the Colour”---Trooping the Colour: an official celebration for the Queen’s Birthday on the 2nd Saturday in June around Buckingham Palace in London. This ceremony of the Queen inspecting her troops derives from old military traditions in which regimental(团的) flags were paraded before the monarch. Early in V ictoria’s(英国女王1819-1901) reign, it was decided that this ceremony should be held on the sovereign’s birthday.III. holidays in England---Bonfire Night /Guy Fawkes Night (篝火之夜/福克斯之夜): a truly English holiday celebrated on November 5. It originates from the 1605 Gunpowder Plot (火药阴谋事件)—a plan to blow up the British Parliament, kill the Protestant King and replace him with a Catholic king. People celebrate it by having public bonfires and fireworks. A str aw effigy called the “Guy”(one of the conspirator Guy Fawkes) is thrown on the bonfire. The biggest Bonfire Night celebration is held in Lewes (刘易斯：英格兰东南部城市)IV. holidays in Northern Ireland---the Orange March: Protestant celebration of their victory(William of Orange) over the exile Catholic king James II at the Battle of the Boyne (博因战役)(12 July) in 1690. This victory symbolizes the Protestant “right” to be in Ireland and the defeat of Catholicism as the national religion. On this day, the Protestant “Orangemen”(奥伦治会会员，1795年成立) march through the streets, wearing their traditional uniform. They sometimes will clash with the Catholic bystanders.--- St Patrick’s Day: it is on March 17 each year, when northern Irish Catholics celebrate the birthday of the patron saint of Ireland, St Patrick who was a Catholic bishop who lived in 5th C.and is thought to have brought Christianity to Ireland; drove snakes out of Ireland, and used shamrock (三叶草，爱尔兰的国花) to explain the Christian Trinity— the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (圣父、圣子、圣灵合成一神). So, the shamrock is a popular symbol to wear on St Patrick’s Day, and it is also considered very lucky to wear something green.V. holidays in Scotland---Hogmanay (苏格兰的除夕,12月31日), in which one widely practiced custom is “first footing”first footing: a custom practiced on Hogmanay in Scotland. There is a superstitious belief that the first person to cross the threshold of a household in the New Y ear can bring luck andprosperity. First-footers often bring a bottle of spirits (烈酒，火酒), alcohol, a lump of coal or a peat（泥炭块）as a gift and are given a “dram (一杯) of whisky” as their reward.---the Burns Night: a celebration by Scottish people on the evening of the birthday (25 January ) of their most beloved national poet, Robert Burns. People celebrate it with suppers of haggis (肉陷羊肚)and whisky and Burn’s poems are recited throughout the evening.---Halloween (万圣节前夜:31 October) and traditions— It is a Scottish festival celebrated on 31 October each year. Communion (交流，恳谈)with the dead, mischief（恶作剧）, fortune-telling（算命）and masquerades（化妆舞会）are common practices. Some of the other customs are “turnip” lantern for children and girls using magic spells to see into future（用咒语占卜未来）.VI. holidays in WalesPoems written in the traditional Welsh language and style are governed by ancient codes and conventions which can be traced back to the Druids (德鲁伊特：古代凯尔特人中一批有学识的人，担任祭司、教师和法官等), who instituted rigid rules of composition to help them to correctly memorize and pass on poems and stories.---Eisteddfod (一年一度的威尔士诗歌音乐比赛会)：a popular festival of music-making and poetry-writing in August each year to celebrate the Welsh culture and language. During the festival, competitions are held to find the best choirs, translators, essayists and poets. The highlight is the crowning of the two bards who have written the best poems of the festival。

英国银行有假期全国都放假

英国银行有假期全国都放假在英格兰，写进法律的永久性公众假期一共是8天，而这8天中就有3天都是bank holiday。

在这几天里，全英国的银行都休假，而其他很多与银行业相关的产业也随之关门大吉!曾经看过一个小朋友画的世界地图：在地球上的各个区域写下他对那个地方的印象，而在欧洲大陆的位置写下的是这么一句话：不用上班天天喝下午茶的地方——的确，欧洲完善的社会福利一直被人津津乐道，但作为一个“外人”，第一次真正见识还是未免被雷到。

记得那是刚到英国不久的某一天，我要去超市补充口粮。

走到Town Centre，居然发现偌大一个超市关门大吉。

我定神一想，确定当日是正常工作日、并且是上班时间，那这关门又是个什么说法?后来朋友告诉我，这一天是Bank Holiday，银行假期，正正经经的公众假期，和圣诞节、复活节等等其他假日一样是被写进法律条文的。

而且最荒谬，银行假期一年还不止一天。

在英格兰，写进法律的永久性公众假期一共是8天，而这8天中就有3天都是bank holiday。

在这几天里，全国的银行都休假，而其他很多与银行业相关的产业也随之关门大吉，其中，就包括超市。

长这么大，听说过教师节、护士节，从来不觉得银行业有多么崇高、竟然要国家为他们单独设立假日，那么这个Bank Holiday是怎么来的呢?Origins of bank holidaysPrior to 1834, the Bank of England observed about 33 saints' days and religious festivals as holidays, but in 1834, this was reduced to just four: 1 May, 1 November, Good Friday, and Christmas Day.In 1871, Sir John Lubbock introduced the Bank Holidays Act, it introduced the concept of holidays with pay and designated four holidays in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and five in Scotland. The move was such a popular one and there were evensuggestions that August Bank Holiday should be called St Lubbock's day!In the United Kingdom and Ireland a bank holiday is a public holiday, when banks and many other businesses are closed for the day.Bank holidays are often assumed to be so called because they are days upon which banks are shut, but days that banks are shut aren't always bank holidays. For example: Good Friday and Christmas Day are not bank holidays, they are common law' holidays. The dates for bank holidays are set out in statute or are proclaimed by royal decree. In England and Wales a bank holiday tends automatically to be a public holiday, so the day is generally observed as a holiday.也就是说，以前一到Bank Holiday全国所有的行业都休假。
