Great Britain
St.Valentine’s Day on February 14th is a lovers feast. People give gifts or send greeting cards called Valentines to people they like or admire. This day is named for an early Christian martyr (1).
Easter is celebrated as in the rest of Europe. It is an ancient symbol of spring and new life. Christians remember Christ’s death and his resurrect (rising from the death, return to life) (2).
The mid-summer’s day on June 24th is marked by various special celebrations. There is a sunrise ceremony at Stonehenge and in some parts of Scotland, Cornwall or Northumbria there are lit the mid-summer fires as in pre-Christian times when this ritual was performed to give strength to the Sun and drive out devils.
