在英国,万圣节前夕可以说是一个鬼节。因为大多数活动都与“鬼”有关。每到万圣节前夕这天晚上,人们就围坐在火炉旁,讲述一些有关鬼的故事,有时让一些在场的小孩听起来好生害怕。有的人把萝卜或甜菜头挖空,做成一个古怪的头形的东西,在上面刻上嘴和眼睛,在其内放上一枝点燃的蜡烛,看上去古怪、让人害怕,然后把它挂在树枝上或大门上,据说这样可以驱逐妖魔鬼怪。

According to Christian practices, and the annual November 1 for Halloween, All Saints commemorated the day. Halloween is the eve of the day before Halloween, October 31st.

母亲节 

mother"s day was first suggested in the united states in 1872 by julia ward howe as a day dedicated to peace. a campaign to establish a national mother"s day was begun in 1907. it was successful, by 1911 mother"s day was celebrated in almost every state in recognition of[1] the influence mothers have in the making of better citizens. 

in 1914, president woodrow wilson proclaimed that the birthday of mrs. anna reeves jarvis, the "mother of mother"s day[2] ", would become the national mother"s day of the united states. and that from then on, the second sunday in may would be mother"s day in memory of the work mrs. jarvis had done to bring families together after the civil war, her work to bring the whole north and south together, her work to honor all the mothers of america throughout history and on into the future, but most of all to honor mrs. anna reeves jarvis as america"s national mother. president wilson asked that the american people fly the united states flag from public buildings and homes on that day as he said, as a public expression of our love and reverence[3] for the mothers of our country. 

well, what value is mother"s day now? as the congress said in 1914, it reminds people of[4] the influence mothers have had in the making of better citizens. jarvis was one such mother. on mother"s day much attention is given to the important part that each mother plays in giving her children a sense of what is right and what is wrong, what is good behavior and what is bad. 

if the observances[5] of mother"s day can even in a small way remind mothers of this, then this day will help both the families and the whole country.

万圣节 

halloween 
october 31st (western countries)halloween is one of the oldest holidays with origins going back thousands of years. 

the holiday has had many influences from many cultures over the centuries. from the roman's pomona day, to the celtic festival of samhain,to the christian holidays of all saints and all souls days. hundreds of years ago in what is now great britain and northern france, lived the celts (凯尔特人), who worshipped nature and had many gods, with the sun god as their favorite. they celebrated their new year on november 1st which was made every year with a festival and marked the end of the "season of the sun" and the beginning of "the season of darkness and cold. "on october 31st after the crops were all harvested and stored for the long winter the cooking fires in the homes would be extinguished. the druids, the celtic priests, would meet in the hilltop in the dark oak forest (oak trees were considered sacred). they would light new fires and offer sacrifices of crops and animals. as they 
danced around the fires, the season of the sun passed and the season of darkness would begin. when the morning arrived the druids would give an ember from their fires to each family who would then take them home to start new cooking fires. these fires would keep the homes warm and free from evil spirits.the november 1st festival was called samhain pronounced "sow-en"). the festival would last for 3 days. many people would parade in costumes made from the skins and heads of their animals. this festival would become the first halloween. 

the celtics would carry a lantern when they walked on the eve of october 31. these lanterns were carved out of big turnips (大头菜) and the lights were believed to keep the evil spirits away. children would carve faces in the turnips. these carved turnips were called "jack-o-lanterns. it is said that the jack-o-lantern" got its name from a stingy and mean old man, named jack, who when he died was too mean to get into heaven. when jack went to hell he was meet by the devil who gave him a piece of burning coal and sent him away. jack placed the burning coal in a turnip to use as a lantern to light his way. the legends claim that jack is still walking with the lantern looking for a place to stay.when the early settlers came to america they found the big round orange pumpkin. being larger and much more colorful than turnips, the pumpkin made great "jack-o-lanterns". eventually the pumpkin would replace the turnip. eventually the pumpkin would become the most widely recognized symbol of the halloween holiday. the history of "trick'o'treating" can be traced back to the early celebrations of all soul's day in britain. the poor would go begging and the housewives would give them special treats called "soulcakes". this was called "going a-souling", and the "soulers" would promise to say a prayer for the dead.over time the custom changed and the town's children became the beggars. as they went from house to house they would be given apples, buns (圆形的小甜面包), and money. during the pioneer days of the american west, the housewives would give the children candy to keep from being tricked. the children would shout "trick or treat!".

复活节 

easter celebrates the resurrection of jesus christ. it is the most important feast in the christian calendar. the churches are filled with worshipers, the altars are decorated with flowers, and the music proclaims the joy of the season. 

easter sunday falls sometime between march 22 and april 25. it falls on the first sunday after the first full moon following march 21. the date of easter sunday was established by the church council of nicaea in a.d. 325. 

easter sunday ends a period of preparation for the feast of easter. this 40-day period of prayer and fasting, called lent, begins on ash wednesday and ends on holy saturday, the day before easter. the week from palm sunday to easter sunday is known as holy week. good friday marks christ's crucifixion; and easter sunday, his resurrection. 

the custom of a sunrise service on easter sunday can be traced to ancient spring festivals that celebrated the rising sun. the custom developed further in the middle ages, when celebrations at sunrise were also popular. people gathered to pray as the sun appeared and then went in procession to their churches. 

the new clothes worn on easter sunday are a symbol of new life. the custom comes from the baptism on easter sunday of early christians who were led into church wearing new robes of white linen. the present-day easter parade has a parallel in the middle ages, when people walked about the country-side on easter, stopping along the way to pray. nowadays many people walk in easter parades to show and see new spring clothes, especially hats.
