When is the Spring Festival in America?

There are many festivals in the United States with dazzling names, such as Martin Luther King Day, President's Day, Flag Day, Veterans Day and so on. However, there are only a few festivals that really matter. In chronological order, it is New Year, Valentine's Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Compared with Christmas, New Year's Day in America seems a little deserted. That's understandable. For many Americans, Christmas is a new beginning of the year. After the ecstasy of Christmas, the arrival of the new year seems a bit redundant.

Compared with the deserted New Year, Valentine's Day on February 14 is much more lively. On this day, everyone will be busy sending cards, distributing chocolates, buying flowers, having dinner with family and friends and expressing their feelings for each other. Of course, the sweetest thing is the lovers in love. The happiest, I think, should be the florist. On Valentine's Day, flowers sold like crazy.

Easter seems strange to us in China, but in the United States, Easter is a very important religious festival, second only to Christmas. Celebrating Easter, on the one hand, is to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus and thank him for his sacrifice and dedication to mankind. On the other hand, it is to celebrate the arrival of the Spring Festival. After the severe winter, everything began to recover and flourish.

Just as Santa Claus and Christmas tree are symbols of Christmas, rabbits and eggs are symbols of Easter. They symbolize vitality and fertility. On Easter day, cute and exaggerated cartoon rabbits are usually hung in shops. The trees in front of people's houses are covered with colorful plastic eggs filled with candy, so that they can sway gently with the breeze. Families with children take their children to community gathering places early, taste delicious food and participate in various games. More people go to church and spend the holidays with many parishioners.

Interestingly, the date of Easter is uncertain. Its date determination is somewhat complicated, usually on the first Sunday after the first full moon after March 20. In the west, Easter may be on any day from March 23rd to April 26th. Because this arrangement is very complicated, it is said that it will be 5.7 million years later, on the same Easter, before it can be repeated.

Independence Day in the United States is equivalent to China's National Day. On July 4th, local people often arrange a lively National Day. Last year, I went sightseeing with some friends from China. America's National Day looks a little loose but happy. People from all walks of life of all ethnic groups, colors and ages, wearing their most distinctive costumes or professional uniforms, sang and danced or beat around in the streets and walked all the way. If a naughty child comes out of the crowd and dances with his hands and feet beside the team, it doesn't matter if he follows all the way. Anyway, the police uncle doesn't care.

Halloween on June 65438+1October 3 1 in the United States is actually what we call the Ghost Festival in China. Compared with our taboo on Halloween in China, Americans seem to like this festival very much, especially children, who are eagerly looking forward to Halloween before June 5438+00.

From the origin, Halloween is also a religious festival, which means that the energetic summer has passed and the cold winter is coming. On this day, children will dress up as all kinds of weird and scary ghosts and knock on neighbors' doors for candy. Presumably, Americans' happy Halloween also has a positive effect on children's psychological growth, which can make children treat such a heavy topic as death with an optimistic attitude.

165438+1The fourth Thursday in October is Thanksgiving Day in the United States. On this day, the most unlucky thing is the turkey. Because on this day, almost all families will roast a turkey and share it with the whole family. Of course, according to American custom, one of the luckiest turkeys was pardoned by the president and survived.

Thanksgiving was originally set up to thank God for his generosity so that people could harvest food. The most popular explanation in the United States is that in order to thank the local indigenous Indians, they were given very important help when they first came to the New World. Today, Thanksgiving Day has become an important holiday for American family gatherings.

The most important holiday in America is Christmas on February 25th, 65438. People know the origin and history of Christmas best. In the eyes of Americans, the most poetic Christmas is when the whole family sits around the fire and tastes delicious food on snowy days. Unfortunately, such a white Christmas is not easy to meet.

In Philadelphia, there are 10 hours of makeup. The origin of this activity can be traced back to the custom of Swedish and British immigrants who settled along the Delaware River in the middle of17th century.
