Holidays, Holidays


by Peter Emerson

Synonymous with fun, frolic and relaxation, holidays are an integral part of every culture. Whether religious, ceremonial or commemorative, holidays give a break from routine to rejuvenate oneself.
Religious holidays signify the celebration of some ancient custom or ceremony rooted in a country's culture. Spanning several days, religious holidays are marked by tremendous festivities and elaborate cooking. Some religious holidays also observe typical customs which hold importance for a particular festival.
Commemorative holidays are observed to honor an individual or an event which had a long-lasting impact on a country's history. Apart from being specific to a nation, some days are observed globally as a holiday.
Holidays and the way they are celebrated are a reflection of country's culture and history. Apart from joyous breaks, they are also a medium of informing the next generation about the various traditions, events and people who have played a vital role in framing history. By knowing about a country's holidays, one can get insight into its culture and history, as it is from there that these holidays emerge. Holding a key to any culture, tradition or custom, holidays play a significant role in propagating the particular event, person or tradition which they signify.
Special holidays hold immense significance. Not only do they offer a longer break from work, they symbolize special events and festivities. From special cooking to parades and dancing, ways of celebrating holidays vary from country to country; yet all emphasize fun and happiness.
Moreover, the very spirit which engulfs holidays marks a renewal of our energies. A refreshing break and an enriching experience, holidays are imperative to the modern lifestyle.
