Ukraine has a long and glorious history. We have rich culture. That is why we have many places of interest. I would like to tell about some of them.
Holidays in Ukraine
We have many holidays in Ukraine but I would like to tell about the main of them.
First it is the New Year. It is my favourite holiday. It is merry to decorate the New Year Tree, to dance near it and to receive presents.
Then in a week there is Christmas. In Ukraine it is an old and popular holiday. In the morning boys go from house to house, from flat to flat, sing traditional holiday songs and wish everything good to the people they visit. The people give them sweets, cakes and money.
The 8th of March is the Women’s Day. We give presents to our mothers, grandmothers, teachers, sisters and girl-friends and wish everything good to them.
On the 1st of May we celebrate May Day. On the 9th of May we have Victory Day. It is a great holiday. We say, “Thank you very much” to old people who took part in the Great Patriotic War and defended our Motherland against the fascists.
In spring we have one more traditional holiday. It is Easter. Usually people bake cakes and paint and colour eggs for the holiday.
On the 24th of August we celebrate Independence Day. The 1st of September is a holiday for everybody who studies.
Each holiday is interesting in its way but all of them are good and merry.
