Pancake Day, or Shrove Tuesday, is an annual festival that is always celebrated in English-speaking countries like the UK, the USA, Ireland, Australia, and Canada on Tuesday in February or March. Traditionally, many people eat pancakes on this day. It is the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent. Lent is a period of 40 days before Easter when people give up meat, fish, dairy, fat, and fast food. Easter takes place on a different date each year because it depends on the moon. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. Another British tradition is pancake racing. People run in a race with a pancake in a pan. As they run, they have to toss the pancake (throw the pancake in the air and catch it in the pan) several times. In some pancake races, people dress up in fancy dress costumes. The most famous pancake race takes place in a town called Olney. The British say that Olney has been celebrating pancake races since 1445! Today Pancake Day is a popular festival in the world.

At her death, it was said, Britain had a worldwide empire on which the sun had never set. In the early part of her reign, she was influenced by two men: her first Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, and then her husband, Prince Albert. Both men taught her much about how to be a ruler in a 'constitutional monarchy', in which the monarch had very few powers, but the monarch could use much influence. She married Prince Albert and produced nine children between 1840 and 1857. Most of her children married other Royal families of Europe. Victoria was deeply attached to her husband and she sank into depression after he died, at the age of 42, in 1861. She had lost a devoted husband and her principal trusted adviser in state affairs. For the rest of her reign, she wore black. Until the late 1860s she rarely appeared in public. She had never neglected her official correspondence, and continued to give audiences to her ministers and official visitors. She was reluctant to resume a full public life. In foreign policy, Victoria's influence during the middle years of her reign was generally used to support peace and reconciliation. In 1864, Victoria pressed her ministers not to intervene in the Prussia-Denmark war, and her letter to the German Emperor (whose son had married her daughter) in 1875 helped to avert a second Franco-German war. Victoria's popularity grew with the increasing imperial sentiment. After the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the government of India was transferred from the East India Company to the Crown, with the position of Governor General upgraded to Viceroy. In 1877, Victoria became Empress of India under the Royal Titles Act passed by Disraeli's government.

We must find out what animal it is!” “Don’t worry, Father,” says Andrei. “You can count on me!” “You can count on me, too, Father,” says Ivanushka. “I can help find this animal.” The two brothers just laugh, but their father feels sorry for his youngest son. “Take Ivanushka with you, too,” says the old man. “He is a good boy and he can help you.” “Oh, alright!” they say. “Don’t get in the way!” Andrei says to his younger brother. “Ha!

If you are a fan of warm fried rings of dough that we lovingly call donuts, join in celebration of the National Donut Day! This American “holiday” is celebrated on the first Friday of June; it is a tradition that dates all the way back to 1917, when Salvation Army volunteers were sent to take care of the US soldiers fighting in World War One. Seeing how homesick and mis­erable the soldiers were, the women decided to do something special. Sure enough, the hot tempting smell of fresh donuts worked like a charm in lifting their spirits! Since then, it has become a US tradition. What’s even better is that many stores have joined in this fun tradition by handing out free donuts to customers during the entire day. B. On Saturday April 6th, thousands of adults and children all over the world got together in their respective cities with one purpose in mind to have a good old-fashioned pillow fight with total strangers! Now in its sixth year, the hour-long event is the invention of an organization called Urban Playground. The organizers think that the pillow fights area harmless way for people to free from stress and have some fun. The rules? No hitting anyone with a camera or anyone without a pillow! This year, over 100 cities from Washington D.C. (USA) to London (England), and even Istanbul (Turkey) and Sao Paolo (Brazil), participated in this fun celebration. Judg­ing from the videos, they were all a great success! C. Indians love festivals! The most popular is Holi, the festival of colour, held annually at the beginning of spring. As with all Hindu festivals, this one also has a number of different folk tales associated with it. The ma­jority center around the triumph of good over evil. What’s so great about this day? There are some fun processions, folksong and dance perform­ances, but the best part is the ritual of splashing friends and even total strangers, young and old, with dry colours, water guns and using evenbuckets of coloured water. At about midday, the friendly chaos comes to an end and people living close to oceans or rivers, usually take a dip in the water to clean themselves, before going home to a homemade feast and a well-deserved siesta. D. Every July, the people of Spain celebrate the Catholic Festival of Cor­pus Christi with parades, mystery plays and various other fun celebra­tions. However, the town of Castrillo de Murcia adds an event called “El Colacho". While the origins of the tradition which dates back to 1620 are unknown, the event is held to keep away evil spirits. The “El Colacho”, a man dressed in a bright yellow and red outfit, represents the devil who runs from the entrance of a church and jumps over mattresses upon which lie all the babies who have been born during the year. Besides hav­ing that magical ability of sending away evil spirits, the “El Colacho” also has to be a very good jumper! No wonder, it is sometimes called the world’s most dangerous festival event. E. The Boryeong Mud Festival started as fun beach event in 1998. Today, it attracts over 1.5 million visitors who come to Boryeong, South Korea, every July, for the nine-day event that promises “well-being through mud”. If you like the idea of mud-slides, mud massages, mud football etc., this is the festival you will definitely not want to miss! The mud is con­sidered rich in minerals and is used to manufacture cosmetics, in fact, the event was created to promote Boryeong mud cosmetics, but has be­come a popular festival. Nowhere else can you throw on a swimsuit, cover yourself in five different shades of mud and parade the streets with 50,000 of your closest friends. Festival-goers have their pick of activities like the Mr. Mud contest, mud wrestling and mud races.
