St. Patrick`s Day
The 17th of March is a national holiday in Ireland – St. Patrick’s day. On that day people wear a shamrock. A shamrock is a plant with three leaves. It is the national symbol of Ireland.
St. Patrick was the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. He had wonderful power. He cleared Ireland of snakes.

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated in big cities and small towns with parades, music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Its a time for fun. As it was a religious holiday, a lot of people attend church services.

Thanksgiving Day
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on 4th Thursday of November. It`s national and family holiday. The first Europeans on American land wanted to thank God and the Native Americans for their help during their first winter which was cold and hungry. People thank God that they have enough food. Traditional food – turkey, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie.

Guy Fawkes Day
On that day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill King James I. He didn`t succeed. The King`s men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head, Since that day The British celebrate the 5th of November. They burn a dummy (чучело), made of straw and old clothes, on a fire and let off fireworks (устраивать фейерверк). This dummy is called a “guy” (like Guy Fawkes).

Halloween
Halloween is a holiday that is on October 31st .
The symbol of this holiday
is a pumpkin. A pumpkin is cut like a face and a candle is put inside of it. So it looks like a face with burning eyes.
Usually people dress in colorful costumes of witches and masks and go to fancy parties.

People once believed
that there were many ghosts and witches on the Earth and that they met on October 31 to worship( преклоняться) the devil. Today people do not believe in ghosts and witches but they like to tell stories about them on Halloween.

Look at the screen and translate the words and word expressions from the dialogue.

Ради яблок в сиропе я готов на всё!
