Many peoples are committed to their national traditions and customs; rites and signs are passed from generation to generation. But English traditions and customs are special. The fact is that the British are known for their conservatism. Their veneration of everything that happened two hundred and three hundred years before their birth is simply amazing. For example, the traditional English “afternoon tea” is to give centuries of tradition. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Duchess Anna introduced this ritual, which once wished to get tea and light snacks in her office at noon. Since then, this afternoon tea has become an integral part of British tradition.
The traditions of England also say that the guard in a Scottish skirt and carbine, standing near Edinburgh Castle, can only be from the Gordon clan. This genus in ancient times received such a privilege, and it is still respected. And what kind of people are still able to stand the Sunday English dinner, which takes place absolutely every Sunday and the same dishes are tasted on it? The British are passionately committed to antiquity. The best pub is at least 200 years old, and the most worthy of respect are feelings that have been tested and aged for years. The Englishman will make every effort to save the family - after all, this is a connection between generations and traditions.
The traditions of England are very interesting in wedding ceremonies. In the Middle Ages, when many men died in wars, and women remained widows, as, in other things, men were widowed after the invasion of all kinds of diseases, a new custom appeared . In order not to stop the continuation of the clan, the widowed British quickly began to look for a soul mate. To do this, they advertised to the local press. It took root in England so much that it grew into a national tradition. First, marriage brokers appeared, then marriage agencies, and then whole fairs and meetings began to be organized for those who wanted to enter into a legal marriage.
The traditions and customs of England prescribe a restrained lifestyle. The British avoid invading someone else's life, imposing their opinions on anyone, therefore they are very restrained in their judgments. The British are unwavering in complying with the rules and laws, and this applies to both others and themselves. Even if some customs cause inconvenience, they will be inviolably observed only because their ancestors did so, which means that this must be respected and supported.
The traditions of England in terms of holding holidays are very interesting - they are all held only on Mondays. The exceptions are New Year, Easter and Christmas (they simply cannot be rescheduled for Monday!). On Easter Monday everyone congratulates each other, gives gifts and treats with sweets. In April - a traditional flower exhibition, which brings together the best English gardeners. On the May holidays, falling at the beginning of the month, traditional festivities and costume shows are held.
The traditions of England are also interesting in holding various festivals and sports. An unforgettable chimney sweep festival takes place in May, and the Royal Regatta opens necessarily in June. In the same month, the Queen's birthday is solemnly and with great fanfare. In July, you can participate in a traditional international animation festival and visit the arts festival, which takes place in London. At the beginning of August, as always, the International Music Festival will be held.
Mandatory every year in England and sports. For example, the traditional "Boat Race" on the river. Thames always takes place at the end of March. And the equestrian competitions in Aintree - in early April, and in June the Week is held. The race, held in vintage cars, awaits thrill-seekers, as usual - in November, and in December all music lovers gather for the next music festival. That's all - England, with its customs, traditions and respect for everything old, stable and solid.
