Every country has its own holidays and traditions of celebrating them.
Ukrainians love national holidays and regularly observe them. Although
there are many holidays in the country, I’d like to tell you about the
most memorable dates and events. Each year begins with New Year and
Christmas. These religious holidays are well respected not only in
Ukraine, but in many other countries. Ukrainian people have a habit of
celebrating these days in grandiose way. They nicely decorate their
houses, buy lots of presents in advance and cook delicious dishes. At
Christmas, which is on January 7th, children sing traditional songs and
receive various goodies. Next great holiday is the International Women’s
Day in March. It’s not only the first spring holiday, but also the day
when women are praised and pleased in every possible way. The most
important days in April are connected with Easter. It’s a religious
holiday, which honors the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The 1st of May
historically has been followed by demonstrations and organized street
marches. It’s an International Workers’ Day. Another important day in
May is the Victory Day. It commemorates the end of World War II. At the
end of June the Ukrainian people celebrate their Constitution Day with
plenty of concerts, fireworks, various musical shows. The exact date is
the 28th of June. One of the most significant holidays in the country is
the Day of Independence, which is celebrated at the end of August.
Perhaps, it is the largest public holiday. That’s why it’s celebrated
with impressive fireworks and noteworthy concerts. The exact date of the
holiday is the 24th of August. There are plenty of other holidays,
which are not public, but are also merrily celebrated. They are St.
Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, Students Day, etc. вот перевод
