1. Easter traditions in Great Britain

Europe”

3. Dzieci, podobnie jak w
Polsce, przygotowują
pisanki, którymi następnie
dekorują drzewka
wielkanocne. Brytyjczycy nie
znają tradycji święcenia
pokarmów. Nie obchodzą
też zwyczaju dzielenia się
jajkiem i składania sobie
życzeń.
4. Children, just like in Poland,
prepare Easter eggs with
which they then decorate
Easter trees. The British do
not know the tradition of
blessing food. They also do
not care about the habit of
sharing an egg and making
wishes.
5. RZUCANIE JAJAMI - EGG TOSS
W średniowiecznej Wielkiej Brytanii Jajko było
symbolem odrodzenia się ziemi w pogańskich
obchodach wiosny i zostało przyjęte przez
pierwszych chrześcijan jako symbol odrodzenia
człowieka na Wielkanoc. W kościołach
odbywało się w Wielkanoc święto rzucania
jajami. Ksiądz rozdawał jedno jajko na twardo,
które było rzucane w nawę kościoła, a chłopiec
z chóru, który trzymał jajko, gdy zegar wybił
dwunastą, mógł je zatrzymać. W jednej z wersji
gry chodzi o podrzucenie jajka tak, aby upadło
na ziemię bez rozbijania. Jest to możliwe na
przykład na trawiastych łąkach .
The egg was a symbol of the rebirth of
the earth in the pagan celebration of
spring and was adopted by the early
Christians as a symbol of the rebirth of
man at Easter. In medieval Britain,
churches held an egg-throwing festival
on Easter. The priest handed out one
hard-boiled egg, which was thrown in
the nave of the church, and the boy in
the choir who was holding the egg when
the clock struck twelve could keep it. In
one version of the game, the idea is to
toss the egg so that it falls to the
ground without breaking it. This is
possible, for example, in grassy
7. PARADA KAPELUSZY
Jedna z ciekawszych wielkanocnych tradycji
brytyjskich to ubieranie pięknie udekorowanych
kapeluszy (Easter Bonnet), na których można
zobaczyć jajka, zajączki i kurczaczki. Tego dnia
organizowane są nawet specjalne konkursy na
najwspanialsze nakrycie głowy.A jeśli mieszkacie
w Londynie w okolicach parku Battersea, warto w
wielkanocne popołudnie przejść się na
wielkanocną paradę. To okazja szczególnie dla
pań. Na Easter Parade londyńskie damy ubierają
się w swoje najpiękniejsze stroje, czyli Easter
Bonnet. Zwyczaj ten zapoczątkowała królowa
Wiktoria w połowie XIX wieku, ale dziś jest
głównie okazją do dobrej zabawy dla setek
londyńczyków. W innych miejscach można
oglądać pokazy tańców ludowych, moresek, czyli
Morris Dancing.
8. EASTER BONNET’S PARADE
One of the most interesting British Easter
traditions is wearing beautifully decorated hats
(Easter Bonnet) on which you can see eggs,
bunnies and chickens. On this day, there are even
special competitions for the best headgear, and if
you live in London near Battersea Park, take the
Easter parade on an Easter afternoon. This is an
opportunity especially for ladies. At the Easter
Parade, London ladies wear their most beautiful
costumes, the Easter Bonnet. This custom was
initiated by Queen Victoria in the mid-nineteenth
century, but today it is mainly a fun time for
hundreds of Londoners. In other places you can
watch folk dance shows, moreska, or Morris
Dancing.

Brytanii :)

10. Wyścig jajek - egg race
Zawodnicy ścigają się indywidualnie na zasadzie
sztafety. Jeśli jajko spadnie z łyżki zawodnicy zostają
zdyskwalifikowani. Zawodnicy ustawiają się na linii
startu i otrzymują jajko i łyżkę. Dziecko może trzymać
jajko do rozpoczęcia wyścigu. Kiedy sędzia mówi,
przygotuj się masz ustawić się na linii startu i nie
możesz w tej chwili przebywać dotykając twoich jajek.
Kiedy usłyszysz GO! biegniesz do mety. Jeśli jajko
spadnie z łyżki zawodnicy zostają zdyskwalifikowani.
Pierwsza trójka, która przekroczy linię mety z jajkiem
wciąż na łyżce będą zwycięzcami. Powszechnie uważa
się za oszustwo przyklejenie jajka do łyżki czymkolwiek
pomóc utrzymać go w miejscu lub przytrzymać palcem.
11. Egg race - wyścig jajek
Competitors race either individually in the manner
of a relay race. If the egg falls from the spoon then
competitors be disqualified. Competitors will line up
at the starting line and be given an egg and spoon.
You may hold onto the egg until the race begins.
When the race judge says get ready on your mark,
you are to line up on the start line and, are not
allowed at this time to be touching your eggs.
When you hear GO! you run to the finish line. If the
egg falls from the spoon then competitors be
disqualified. The first 3 to cross the finish line
with their egg still on the spoon will be the winners.
It is generally regarded as cheating to stick the egg
to the spoon with anything to help hold it in place or
to hold on to it with one's finger.
Zajrzyjcie :)

12. Egg hunt
Jest to wielkanocna gra przeznaczona dla dzieci. Polega
na szukaniu ukrytych świątecznych jajek. Jajka mogą być
czekoladowe lub pojemnik w kształcie jaj ze słodyczami w
środku. Czasami dzieci szukają też ugotowanych na
twardo tradycyjnych pisanek. Przeważnie są one ukryte w
ogrodzie lub w innym miejscu na świeżym powietrzu.
Wygrywa dziecko, któremu uda się znaleźć jak najwięcej
łakoci do koszyka.
