Russian people love holidays, any of which is celebrated with lots
of food and presents, with real Russian hospitality. Any important moment
in the life of a family is treated as a great holiday and is celebrated with
relatives, friends and neighbours. But all the holidays can be divided into
state, religious and family holidays.
State holidays include the New Year's Day (the 1st of January),
Constitution Day (the 12th of December), Defender of Motherland Day
(the 23rd of February), Women's Day (the 8th of March), May Day
(the 1st of May), Victory Day (the 9th of May) and Independence
Day (the 12th of June).
Religious holidays, such as Christmas, Easter and other Christian
holidays and other holidays such as Shrovetide are not state holidays,
so children go to school, the day is a working one. Still, every year more
and more people celebrate these holidays.
There are many holidays when some professions are honoured,
for example, the Day of Knowledge and the Teacher's Day.
