Упражнение 12. Прочитайте текст, ответьте на вопрос к нему полным предложением, письменно переведите 1-й абзац:
Christmas is Britain’s most popular holiday, it is in fact more popular than the New Year. Its traditions go back to pagan beliefs and date hundreds of years. The Druids*, for example, honoured the mistletoe* in their religion and rites. The red berry of the holly was believed to protect a person against witchcraft. The Vikings introduced the Yule-log* which used to be burnt in honour of their chief god Thor. The English adapted this practice for Christmas and today's Christmas candle is a holdover from those days.
The custom of sending Christmas cards also originated in Britain. As far back as 1843 John Horsley designed the first card for Sir Henry Cole. And such practice soon became an established tradition. Every year more than a billion Christmas cards are now sent in the United Kingdom alone. Many of them are sold as aid for charities.
Since 1840 the decorated and illuminated Christmas tree has gained popularity in England. Prince Albert brought this rite over from Germany. The English families followed the Royal example and it can truly be called a Victorian innovation. Each year a giant Christmas tree is set up and decorated in Trafalgar Square. It commemorates Anglo-Norwegian cooperation during World War П.
Примечания:
The Druids - друиды (кельтские жрецы), mistletoe - омела, Yule-log - полено, сжигаемое в сочельник.
Where does the Trafalgar square Christmas tree come from?
