                                                Lessons 1-2 What is a tradition? 

Warm-up

1 Unscramble the names of three important festivals and match them with the pictures. 
. Discuss the questions below.

1 Do you know why these particular pictures were chosen to illustrate these festivals? 
2 Which of these is celebrated in Russia too? 
3 Can you name any Russian or your local festival and its symbol? 



                                                                Reading 

2  Read the following pieces of information and decide which of the above festivals they refer to. 

1. One of the long-standing 
traditions is the belief that the 
mistletoe plant holds magic 
powers and protects against 
disease. 

                                                         2.  It dates back to the ancient fire 
                                                         festivals when huge bonfires 
                                                         were set on hilltops to frighten 
                                                         away evil spirits. 

3.  Its common symbol is a pump- 
kin carved in the appearance of 
a demonic face and with a 
lighted candle inside.

                                                         4.  This main festival of the Christian 
                                                         church year celebrates the 
                                                         Resurrection of Jesus Christ on 
                                                         the third day after his CrucifIXion.
 
5.  Evergreens as symbols of survival 
are associated with this festival. 

                                                         6.  Eggs - symbol of new life and 
                                                         resurrection - are brightly 
                                                         coloured and decorated. 

7.  It's a Christian festival commemo- 
rating the birth of Jesus Christ. It 
dates back to the pagan festival 
marking the birthday of "uncon-
