Do you ever feel like you know just enough about british holidays to be dangerous? Let’s see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from Cultural Holidays experts.
I am sure that there are many people who look forward to the joys of having holidays. While you are enjoying your holidays have you ever wondered what brought them into our lives? Do other countries celebrate these holidays on the same day as you and I, and in the same manner?
The answer would be yes, and no. There are some “world holidays”, where everyone celebrates the same holiday at the same time, and there are some holidays that are only for a particular country, or place alone, and aren’t celebrated the world over.
Some of these world holidays are New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, April Fool’s, and Christmas. These are the more well known of the world holidays. There are other holidays too that are even now gaining recognition as being world holidays.
For Muslims across the world Ramazan and the Haj Festival are world holidays. For the Chinese, there is the Chinese New Year with fantasy parades, fireworks, and symbols of prosperity and good luck hanging from every place.
And with so many Chinese people spread out across the world they would consider this one of the world holidays. And the same goes for the many Indians living around the world as well. They would definitely consider Diwali as being one of the world holidays.
What about Halloween? Surely this fun filled, scary day with its assortment of costumed people would be a world holiday. You’d only be half right on that however, as Halloween still has to take off in many countries although it has now spread across the ocean and has taken hold in England. After all what child doesn’t like dressing up in fun costumes and collecting masses and masses of candy?
