Ukrainian Holidays — Украинские праздники

There are dates and events in the life of our country that are memorable to every Russian citizen. The dates of this kind are: the Victory Day, May the Day the Constitution Day, the women’s Day, the Independence Day. These are national holidays, people do not work on these days. The most memorable date is the Victory Day which is kept on the 9th of May. On this Day we celebrate the anniversary of the victory over fascism in World War II. The women’s Day, which is celebrated on the 8th of March, is like mother’s Day in Great Britain. On this day you can see many men buying or carrying flowers. Children give their mothers presents, or send them postcards if they are away from home. Recently new national holidays have appeared. They are of religious origin. They are: Christmas and Easter. In Ukraine Christmas is celebrated on the 7th of January. In Europe and in the USA it is celebrated on the 25th of December. On Christmas people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Easter

symbolizes the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Children like this holiday for traditional brightly painted eggs and special Easter cakes. Easter cakes are sold at every bakery, but home-made ones are always much tastier. There is one more holiday which is loved by everybody: children and adults. This is New year’s Eve. People decorate New Year trees with toys and lights and believe that a miracle is a must on this day. On the New Year night people go to dance, visit their friends or stay at home and watch TV. It’s my favourite holiday. And, of course, one of the main holidays of Ukraine is the Independence Day, celebrated on the 24th of August. On this day in 1991 the «Act of Independence of Ukraine» was proclaimed.

Украинские праздники

В жизни нашей страны есть даты и события, памятные всем гражданам Украины. Такие даты как: День Победы, 1 Мая, День Конституции, Международный женский день, День независимости. Это национальные

праздники, и люди в этот день не работают. Наиболее памятная дата — это День Победы, отмечают 9 мая. В этот день мы празднуем годовщину победы над фашизмом в Второй мировой войне. Международный женский день, отмечаемый 8 марта, похож на день Матери в Великобритании. В этот день можно увидеть мужчин, которые покупают или несут цветы. Дети дарят мамам подарки или посылают открытки, если они находятся далеко от дома. Недавно были введены новые национальные праздники. Они религиозного происхождения. Это Рождество и Пасха. Рождество в Украине отмечают 7 января. В Европе и Америке его празднуют 25 декабря. На Рождество люди отмечают рождение Иисуса Христа. Пасха символизирует воскресение Иисуса Христа. Детям нравится этот праздник за традиционно ярко раскрашенные яйца и особенно пасхальные куличи. Куличи продаются в каждой булочной, но всегда вкуснее куличи домашнего приготовления. Есть еще один праздник, который любят все: дети и взрослые. Это Новый год. Люди украшают новогодние елки игрушками и гирляндами и верят, что в этот день должно произойти чудо. В новогоднюю ночь люди идут потанцевать, посетить своих друзей или остаются дома и смотрят телевизор. Это мой любимый праздник. И, конечно, один из главных праздников Украины — День независимости, который отмечается 24 августа. В этот день 1991 года была провозглашена Декларация независимости Украины.

Українські свята

У житті нашої країни є дати і події, пам’ятні всім громадянам України. Це наступні дати: День Перемоги, 1 Травня, День Конституції, Міжнародний жіночий день, День незалежності. Це національні свята, і люди в цей день не працюють. Найбільш пам’ятна дата — це День Перемоги, що відзначають 9 травня. У цей день ми святкуємо річницю перемоги над фашизмом у Другій світовій війні. Міжнародний жіночий день, що відзначається 8 березня, схожий на день Матері у Великобританії. У цей день можна побачити чоловіків, що купують чи несуть квіти. Діти дарують мамам подарунки чи посилають листівки, якщо вони знаходяться далеко від домівки. Недавно були введені нові національні свята. Вони релігійного походження. Це Різдво і Великдень. Різдво в Україні відзначають 7 січня. У Європі й Америці його святкують 25 грудня. На Різдво люди відзначають народження Ісуса Христа. Великдень символізує воскресіння Ісуса Христа. Дітям подобається це свято через традиційно яскраво розфарбовані яйця й особливо великодні паски. Паски продаються в кожній булочній, але завжди смачніші паски домашнього приготування. Є ще одне свято, яке люблять усі: діти і дорослі. Це Новий рік. Люди прикрашають новорічні ялинки іграшками і гірляндами і вірять, що в цей день повинно відбутися чудо. У новорічну ніч люди йдуть потанцювати, відвідати своїх друзів чи залишаються вдома і дивляться телевізор. Це моє улюблене свято. І, звичайно, одне з головних свят України — День незалежності, що відзначається 24 серпня. У цей день 1991 року була проголошена Декларація незалежності України.
