From Scotland to the Channel, Britain is full of customs and traditions.
A lot of them have very long histories. Some are funny, some are
strange- But they're all interesting and are all part of the British way
of life.
Easter is the time for holidays, festivals and time for giving
chocolate Easter eggs, the day of parties, and above all a celebration
that Jesus raised from the dead and lives forever. Eggs play an
important part in Easter celebration; they are predominantly given to
children. The eggs are either hollow or have a filling, and are usually
covered with brightly colored silver paper.
Easter is much more than ordinary holiday. It is the oldest
and the most important Christian Festival, the celebration of the death
and coming Jesus Christ to life again. For Christians, the dawn of
Easter Sunday with its message of new life is the high point of the
year.
Easter is a feast that is not always held on the same date
each year. Easter Day is celebrated on the first Sunday following the
first full moon after the spring equinox.
This means that Easter can fall as early as March 22 or as late as April 25.
Like most Christian festivals, Easter has its origins in
pre-Christian times. Our ancestors believed that the sun died in winter
and was born anew in spring. The arrival of spring was celebrated all
over the world long before the religious meaning became associated with
Easter. Today, Easter celebrates the rebirth of Christ.
The word Easter is thought to have derived from the goddess Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon Goddess.
Even though Easter is associated with spring here in England,
it is not so in countries in the Southern Hemisphere. In these countries
Easter falls near the end of autumn. However, through out the world
Easter is felt to be a time of new life and new beginnings. сократи что надо

I was always attracted various sports, such as basketball , volleyball, badminton , table tennis and chess. I never engaged in sports professionally , there were no such opportunities , but I do not regret it , because to play with friends and relatives is much more interesting and fun .One of the most popular sports games is the game of basketball . When we play basketball with the guys (mainly in the warmer months, the yards sites) time passes unnoticed , and , moreover , usefully. During the game, warming up all parts of the body , and this is especially important in today's sedentary lifestyle . In between games , you can talk about something interesting , share the latest news , and sometimes even to debate on various topics .
