In Russia there are many holidays.

They are national holidays and

religious holiday.

The New Year Day is on the 1st of January.

Many people go to parties . When the

Kremlin clock strikes, we shout “ Happy New

Year”

Children like to dance, play, sing songs around the New Year

tree.

We celebrate Christmas is on

the 7th of January. This is the day

when Jesus Christ was born.

At Christmas many people go to

church.

I also want to say about Shrovetide. This is the holiday when we meet

spring. It is a tradition to make pancakes and burn the figure of Winter. It is

a merry holiday.

The 8th of March is Women’s Day. This is

the day when men give ladies presents

and flowers. We say “Thank you “ to

our mothers, grandmothers and

sisters.

In spring we also celebrate

Easter . On the Easter

Day people greet each

other “ Christ is risen! “ And the

answer is “He Is Risen

indeed !”

We paint eggs and give them as a

symbol of eternal life.

May Day is on the 1st of May.

Usually the weather is nice on this

day and many people picnics.

Victory Day is the most important holiday. It is on the 9th of May . We celebrate a great victory over fascists.
