Conclusion   People in every country celebrate holidays. Although the word «holiday» literally means «holy day» most English holidays not religious, but commemorative in nature and origin. There are some holidays in the United Kingdom. They can be divided into two groups: bank holidays and religious holidays. Some of them are more popular and people look forward to them. On these days traditions are observed. But often they fall on ordinary working days.  There are other anniversaries, festivals and simply days. The British have a lot of old traditions and joyful celebrations, and many countries are willing to borrow these traditions. Many festivals have taken root in Russia such as Halloween , April Fool’s Day, St. Valentine’s Day.
