A legend says that а long time ago in Rome there was a priest named Valentine. Claudius II, who was the Emperor at that time, made a law that no one could become engaged or get married. He was afraid if men had sweethearts or wives, they wouldn’t want to fight in wars. But Valentine felt sorry for young people who were in love, so he married them secretly. When Claudius II found out, he put Valentine to death. Some say this happened on February 14th.

Another legend is about a man named Valentine. He also lived in Rome when Claudius II was Emperor. He was put in jail because he was helping Christian people, whom Claudius didn’t like. Valentine became very friendly with the jailer’s blind daughter. When he was beheaded on February 14th, she got a massage that said “from your Valentine”.

Christmas in Russia is associated with a number of traditional activities. One of them is when a group of people masquerading as animals go from house to house singing songs known as kolyadki. The singers got food and coins.

Оther traditional activities were held on Christmas Eve. According to the ancient custom nobody ate until the first star shone in the sky. A porridge called kutya was traditional eating. It was cooked from wheat with honey or rice with raisings and nuts.

A prayer for the New Year started dinner which finished with kutya. But at first the head of the house throw a spoonful outside for Grandfather Frost saying “ here is a spoonful for you, please don’t touch our crops”

I would like to tell you about another traditional celebrations and activities.

Epiphany-January 19

The snow of the night before Epiphany was considered to be the most precious and well water would be fresh. They could be cure and protection.

Shrovetide is also an ancient Russian holiday which dates back to the 9 century. It lasts a week before 40 days fasting period of Lent. Each day of Shrovetide has its own rituals. Shrovetide is the most cheerful of all Russian holidays. Not to participate in this holiday means to live in poverty for the rest of the year. The holiday ends on Forgiving Sunday when all the people forgive each other, forget bad things and can meet spring with clear conscience.

WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO

How much do you know about different cultures around the world? What would be wise to bear in mind while you are travelling around this or that country? Body gestures have different meanings depending on the country in which they are expressed.

Austria

While dining, keep your hands on the table, ft is rude to put your hands on your lap during dining. To wish someone good luck, make two fists (with your thumbs tucked inside the fists), and gesture as if you are slightly pounding on a table. To specify number "one", use your upright thumb.

Belgium

To point with your index finger is considered impolite. When you are talking to someone, do not keep your hand or hands m your pockets. This is considered rude. To slap someone on the back or to be noisy are both very rude gestures in Belgium. To yawn, blow your nose, sneeze or scratch yourself in the presence of others is considered poor manners.

Germany

It is impolite to shake someone's hand with your other hand in your pocket. Parents often scold children for putting their hands in their pockets because it is a sign of disrespect. If you are talking with someone, do not chew gum. This is considered very rude. To do so would remind a Ger­man person of "a cow chewing its cud". In various parts of Germany, if you arrive at a dinner table; and you are unable to shake everyone's hand due to the arrangement of the seating, a guest will rap his knuckles lightly on the table to signal his greeting to everyone. The same may happen when a person leaves the table. Also, university students utilise this gesture to greet their professors in a classroom.

England (United Kingdom)

1. Loud talking and other forms of noisy behaviour should always be avoided.

Try not to stare at anyone in public. Privacy is highly valued m the United Kingdom. You wait in line in the United States, and you "queue up" In the United Kingdom. You should never "jump the queue" (проходить без очереди). When drinking in a pub, pick up your change after you pay for your drink. If you leave it there, you are implying that you are leaving a tip. Tipping is not widespread in British pubs. Don't stand too close to people you are talking to. "Keep your distance". An offensive gesture in England would be the "V for victory" sign made with your palm facing yourself.

Turkey

it is extremely offensive to show the sole of your shoe to someone, or use your shoe to point at someone or something. This is due to the fact that shoe soles are the lowest part of the body and are usually dirty. You should neither smoke nor eat while on a street. The unique Turkish gesture to signal that something good is done is to hold your hand up, palm outward, and siowly bring the fingers into the thumb, in a grasp­ing motion.

Some Tips for Travellers

In Japan you should avoid eye contact. In Spain, women should be careful about making eye contact with strangers, as it might signal interest of a romantic nature. In France, you shouldn't sit down in a cafe until you've shaken hands with everyone you know. In Afghanistan, you should spend at least five minutes saying hello.        ; In the Middle East, you should not admire anything in your hosts' home. They will feel that they have to give it to you as a gift. In Pakistan, you mustn't wink. It is offensive. In Korea, you mustn't blow your nose m public. In Finland, you shouldn't begin to eat before your host does.
