Added material:

  Thanksgiving Day

Fourth Thursday inNovember is celebrated as ‘Thanksgiving Day’ People thank God for hisblessings. People can ‘Thank’ friends, foes and anyone for the experiences,happiness and sunshine they bring into their lives. Pilgrims celebrated thefirst Thanksgiving Day in America during the second winter in the new world.The first winter had been bad as nearly half of the people had perished due tolack of food and bad weather. But the following year, with the help of Indianswho showed them how to plant Indian corn, the pilgrims had successful harvest.Governor William Bradford decided that December 13, 1621 be set aside forfeasting and prayer. The Indians were invited to share the festival. Sincethan, Thanksgiving Day is been celebrated in America. However, it was only in1941, the Congress in a joint resolution named the fourth Sunday in November asthe official Thanksgiving Day.

Dating back, it isknown that the Council thought to appoint and set apart the 29th day of June,as a day of Solemn Thanksgiving and praise to God for his Goodness and Favour.The First Thanksgiving Proclamation was however on June 20, 1676. The governingcouncil of Charlestown, Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best toexpress thanks for the good fortune that had seen their community securelyestablished. By unanimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, toproclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving, It is also known that the Pilgrimsset ground at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. Their first winter wasdevastating. At the beginning of the following fall, they had lost 46 of theoriginal 102 who sailed on the Mayflower. But the harvest of 1621 was abountiful one. And the remaining colonists decided to celebrate with a feast --including 91 Indians who had helped the Pilgrims survive their first year. Itis believed that the Pilgrims would not have made it through the year withoutthe help of the natives The feast was more of a traditional English harvestfestival than a true "thanksgiving" observance. It lasted three days.

Thanksgiving, aswe know it today, has come a long way from the Pilgrim's harvest festival in1621. It is an event that seems, as each year goes by, to reinvent itself andto expand its meaning to larger vistas. Maybe this is the real significance ofthe occasion; for as we continue to change and grow as a people, there are anincreasing number of things for which we can be thankful.

Halloween

The ancient Druids督伊德教(古代高卢人与不列颠人的一种宗教)的教徒 who inhabitedwhat we now call Great Britain placed great importance on the passing of oneseason to the next, holding "Fire Festivals" which were celebratedfor three days (two days on either side of the day itself). One of thesefestivals was called Samhain (pronounced Sha-Von) and it took place on October31 through to November 1. During this period, it was believed that theboundaries between our world and the world of the dead were weakened, allowingspirits of the recently dead to cross over and possess the living. In order tomake themselves and their homes less inviting to these wayward spirits, theancient Celts（凯尔特人）would douse （插入水中, 把弄熄, 弄湿）all their fires.There was also a secondary purpose to this, after extinguishing all theirfires, they would re-light them from a common source, the Druidic fire that waskept burning at Usinach, in the Middle of Ireland.

Samhain wasconsidered to be a gateway not only from the land of the dead to the land ofthe living, but also between Summer and Fall/Winter. For the Druids, this wasthe last gasp （喘息, 气喘）of summer (it wasalso the Celtic New Year), so therefore they made sure it went out with a bangbefore they had to button down （把...弄清楚）for the winterahead.

They would dressup in bizarre costumes and parade through their villages causing destruction inorder to scare off any recently departed souls who might be prowling （巡游）for bodies toinhabit, in addition to burning animals and other offerings to the Druidicdeities（神, 神性）. It is also apopular belief that they would burn people who they believed to be possessed,but this has largely been debunked （揭穿, 拆穿假面具, 暴露）as myth.

This tradition waslater brought to the North American continent by Irish immigrants who wereescaping the Potato Famine in their homeland. In addition to the festivalitself, the immigrants brought several customs with them, including one of thesymbols most commonly associated with Halloween -- the Jack 'O Lantern.

According to Irishfolklore, there once lived a man named Jack who was known for being a drunk anda prankster（顽皮的人, 爱开玩笑的人）. One night Jacktricked the devil into climbing a tree, and quickly carved an image of a crosson the trunk, trapping the devil. Jack then made him promise that, in exchangefor letting him out of the tree, the Devil would never tempt him to sin again.He reluctantly agreed, but was able to exact his revenge upon Jack's death.Because of his mischievous ways in life, Jack was barred from entering heavenand because of his earlier trick, he was also barred from hell. So he wasdoomed to wander the earth until the end of time, with only a single ember（灰烬, 余烬） (carried in ahollowed out turnip.[植]芜箐, 芜箐甘蓝) to warm him andlight his way.

   In Ireland, they originally also usedturnips for their "Jack Lanterns", but upon arriving in the newworld, they discovered that pumpkins were abundant and easier to carve out.

Easter

On Good Friday,Jesus Christ was executed by crucifixion. His body was taken down from thecross, and buried in a cave. The tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was putover the entrance, so that no-one could steal the body. On the followingSunday, some women visited the grave and found that the stone had been moved,and that the tomb was empty. Jesus himself was seen that day, and for daysafterwards by many people. His followers realised that God had raised Jesusfrom the dead.

HotCross Buns
   Hot Cross buns are still made all overEngland around Easter time. At one time, buns with a cross on them were madeall through Lent. They were banned by Oliver Cromwell and brought back again atthe time of the Restoration. For a time they were only available on Good Fridaybut now they can be bought during the month leading up to Easter. Whole mealhot cross buns are becoming more popular each year.

The Easter Egg

As with the EasterBunny and the holiday itself, the Easter Egg predates the Christian holiday ofEaster. The exchange of eggs in the springtime is a custom that was centuriesold when Easter was first celebrated by Christians.

From the earliesttimes, the egg was a symbol of rebirth in most cultures. Eggs were often wrappedin gold leaf or, if you were a peasant, colored brightly by boiling them withthe leaves or petals of certain flowers.

Today, childrenhunt colored eggs and place them in Easter baskets along with the modernversion of real Easter eggs -- those made of plastic or chocolate candy.

O-bon Festival

Bon Dance

During o-bon, bonodori (folk dances) are held all over Japan. The kind of dance varies from areato area. People wearing yukata (summer kimono) go to the neighborhood shrine,temple, or park and dance around a yagura (stage) set up there. Anyone canparticipate in the dance. Join the circle and imitate what others are doing.Awa odori of Tokushima and bon odori at Yasukuni Shrine, Tokyo are very famous.

Also, Toro Nagashi(floating paper lanterns) are held in some areas. On the evening of the 15th,people send off ancestor's spirits with a paper lantern, lit by a candle insideand floated down a river to the ocean. Fireworks displays (Hanabi-taikai) areoften held during o-bon. It is  a typicalJapanese summer scene to see hanabi.

Since o-bon is animportant family gathering time, many people return to their hometowns duringo-bon. Most businesses are closed during this time. Although it is crowdedeverywhere, it is common for many people take trips during o-bon, too. Thebeginning and end of o-bon are marked with terrible traffic jams. Airports,train stations, and highways are jammed with travelers. I recommend you do nottravel around o-bon!
