EASTER

 Easter is an important Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There are many different customs for celebrating Easter around the world, but the Friday before Easter Sunday (Good Friday) and the Monday after are given as a bank holiday in the UK.
Early celebrations included the painting of eggs, which represented Jesus' empty tomb. Now we give Easter eggs - often chocolate - to friends and family, and have Easter egg hunts for eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.  http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/easter

ST. PATRICK'S DAY - 17 March

 

Saint Patrick, who was born in fourteenth century, is the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain, he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave at the age of 16. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and was credited with bringing Christianity to its people. In the centuries following Patrick’s death, probably on 17 March 461, many legends grew up around Patrick and he became Ireland's foremost saint. Perhaps the most well-known legend is that he explained the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using the three leaves of a native Irish clover, the shamrock.

Według legendy św. Patryk wygnał z Irlandii wszystkie węże. Ostatni był najbardziej uparty. Święty długo namawiał go aby wszedł do skrzynki, którą wąż uznawał za ciasną. W końcu wąż aby udowodnić Patrykowi że się nie zmieści wszedł do skrzynki, Patryk skrzynkę zamknął i wyrzucił do morza.
Według ekspertów, węży w Irlandii nigdy nie było. Wyspa była otoczona wodą od ostatniego okresu zlodowacenia uniemożliwiając gadom przedostanie się na jej teren. Wypędzenie węży jest metaforą oczyszczenia kraju z pogańskich zwyczajów.
