The date of easter depends on the next full moon after the vernal equinox. People celebrate easter in different ways, but many people give each other chocolate eggs and eat hot cross buns. We don't really know how to celebrate our saint's day. I think with scottish independence, that there might be moves to reclaim englishness from nationalists. But i guess it's hard for many English people to feel a connection to saint george anyway. Artefact: england needs to find some sort of wholesome version of its national identity.
Here's an episode all about special days and celebrations in the British calendar. You'll hear cultural information about holidays and customs, and some pronunciation work on how to say dates and the months of the year. Transcript and videos here
