Saint Patrick’s Day................

y

Saint Patrick’s Day? Saint Patrick’s Day has come to be associated with everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly, to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick’s Day is a traditional day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.

So, why is it celebrated on March 17th? One theory is that that is the day that St. Patrick died. Since the holiday began in Ireland, it is believed that as the Irish spread out around the world, they took with them their history and celebrations. The biggest observance of all is, of course, in Ireland. With the exception of restaurants and pubs, almost all businesses close on March 17th. Being a religious holiday as well, many Irish attend mass, where March 17th is the traditional day for offering prayers for missionaries worldwide before the serious celebrating begins.

In American cities with a large Irish population, St. Patrick’s Day is a very big deal. Big cities and small towns like celebrate with parades, “wearing of the green,” music and songs, Irish food and drink, and activities for kids such as crafts, coloring and games. Some communities even go so far as to dye rivers or streams green!

                                  National Cat Day

I've just learnt that one week ago that was an National Cat Day in Poland.

Something about this day.....

National Cat Day was founded in 2005 by Pet Lifestyle Expert & Animal Welfare Advocate Colleen Paige to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued each year and also to encourage cat lovers to celebrate the cat(s) in their life for the unconditional love and companionship they bestow upon us.

Estimates reveal that there are approximately 4 million cats entering shelters every year with 1-2 million being euthanized. Often cats are overlooked and under-appreciated because they don't usually have jobs like dogs. But cats still lower blood pressure, offer unconditional love and companionship and alert their owner of danger.

This day is to highlight the importance of cats in human life, to help slow living and homeless animals that were once home, but it had lost, and also sensitize people on the often difficult feline fate.

I'm writing about this because I'm the owner of a cat. Most of my friends ask me how can you have a cat? He's just scratching, sleeping is aggressive .... But it's not true.... Cat feels when someone is afraid of him, and then the fear goes on , he scratches or hisses ….

What's more.. Every animal is different but they understand a lot of things .......

I love my cat....... She is just like a family member . She lives with me for 19 years …...

"Boxing Day"

The "Boxing Day" -is one of the most popular holidays celebrated in the UK , but in Canada, New Zealand and Australia aswell. This term have three different etymologies . The most popular of them says about originates from the Middle Ages custom donated to servants or homeless gifts wrapped in boxes. The second saying about lockbox for donations, which were opened for the poor people the day after Christmas , and a third of etymologies the capture of a wren . According to legend, the "king of all birds " were caught on December 26th, placed in a box and took around on all the houses in the village, to ensure all residents good year and a good harvest . Today, Boxing Day is a typical day of a shopping dissipation.
I had the opportunity to spend that day in London, England. In the morning I went to the famous shopping centre in the famous district of Stratford .When i got out from train I could not believe the crowds of people aiming towards the center . When I walked in I felt like an anthill , people were so excited about special sales . Not to mention the huge queues as was the case with the NEXT store where even the security had to use force because of the crowd of people wanting to get to the store and clothes on the floor,mess everywhere . After 4 hours when I got home without any purchase I said to mum that I feel so sorry for the people who must work there and after closing tidy this mess left after customers,but every country have own habits.. in Poland we also have sales but it is still not the same like in UK.
