What are the traditional festivals in Britain?

1, Valentine's Day. February 14 every year is the so-called Valentine's Day. Now this festival has become a day that young people eagerly look forward to, giving them the opportunity to celebrate a beautiful day with their sweetheart. However, this day is actually the anniversary of a saint in the church, commemorating St. Valentine. This saint is regarded as a figure in the 3rd century A.D., and he was later martyred in Rome. Legend has it that he tried his best to help some lovers get married before his death, so he took his anniversary as the so-called Valentine's Day.

2. Mother's Day. On this day, people will give cards and flowers to thank their mothers for their parenting. Mother's Day in Britain is completely different from that in America. In the United States, the second Sunday in May is Mother's Day, but the so-called Mother's Day in Britain is the fourth Sunday of the fasting period before the crucifixion of Jesus in Christian churches.

3. Good Friday. Good Friday is the day when Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world. It is the most important festival to commemorate the climax of Jesus' life (also known as "Holy Week"). The theme of the whole week revolves around the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
