Hello Mito Amity students and family! (っ˘ω˘ς )
This week, we will be talking about a popular holiday that is celebrated around the world: Easter! Easter is set to be next Sunday, April 20th.
Easter is both a Christian festival and a cultural celebration. For Christians, Easter marks the end of Holy Week and is a time for celebrating Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. Easter Sunday is also celebrated by many people who are not practicing Christians. In the UK, US, and many other Western countries, people gather together for a special Easter lunch, play games like scavenger hunts, and exchange sweet treats like Easter eggs.
Unlike Christmas, Easter falls on a different date every year because it is based on the patterns of the moon. This phenomenon is sometimes called a ‘moveable feast’. Easter is set to always take place on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, which varies from year to year.
Easter follows Lent, which is a period of fasting and a time for Christians to reflect on their behavior and actions. While non-religious people may choose to use Lent as an opportunity to give up a bad habit or a particular food for a time, Christians see Lent as a period of grief and think about Jesus’ 40 days in the desert. They may give up luxuries or commit to praying more regularly than usual, and some even decide to spend this time helping charities or people in need in their community. This means that when Easter arrives, many Christians are excited to celebrate! Festivities can include playing games, eating tasty food, spending time with loved ones, participating in events like parades or Easter egg hunts, and sending Easter greetings.

Hello Mito Amity students and family! ฅ(•ㅅ•❀)ฅ
Thank you for reading last week's post about Saint Patrick's Day! This week, we will be discussing the holiday of the hour: White Day!
White Day (3/14) is the opposite of Valentine's Day (2/14). On Valentine's Day, women gave the special men in their life chocolate. White Day was invented in Japan for men to reciprocate the gifts they had received. While Valentine's Day is holiday from abroad, White Day is a purely Japanese creation.
A company making marshmallows launched a campaign in 1965 urging men to repay their Valentine gifts with soft, fluffy marshmallows. The name 'White Day' comes from the color of the candy, and at first it was called 'Marshmallow Day'.
Soon after, chocolatiers began marketing white chocolates, and other candy makers jumped on the trend as well. Gradually, the original association with marshmallows disappeared. Today, men give the special women in their lives a variety of different gifts, whether for their honmei (true sweethearts) or to fulfill their giri (obligation) to classmates or colleagues.
Will you be giving or receiving any White Day gifts this year? Let us know in your next Amity lesson!
Sincerely,
Your English Teachers at Mito Amity ヽ(≧◡≦)八(o^ ^o)ノ
Hello Mito Amity students and family! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
I hope everyone enjoyed learning about Girl's Day last week! Today, we will be talking about a holiday that is widely known in Western countries: Saint Patrick's Day!
Saint Patrick’s Day is a popular holiday celebrated every March 17. Saint Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland but people in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries that have communities of Irish diaspora enjoy this holiday as well.
Saint Patrick was born in Britain in the late 300s or early 400s. Pirates captured him when he was 16 years old and sold him as a slave in Ireland. He worked as a shepherd for six years before escaping and returning home. After years of religious training, Patrick went back to Ireland. He converted many people to Christianity. St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on the day Patrick supposedly died.
Many people celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day by wearing green. That means that they wear green clothing or keep shamrocks (three-leafed clovers) on them. Green and shamrocks are symbols of Ireland.
However, the color theme of St. Patrick’s Day was originally blue! Green was finally introduced to St. Patrick’s Day festivities in the 18th century, when the green shamrock became a national symbol.
Green is also the color that mythical fairies called leprechauns like to dress in. Leprechauns are actually one reason you are supposed to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day—or else you will risk getting pinched! The tradition is tied to folklore that says wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns, who like to pinch anyone they can see. Some people also think sporting the color will bring good luck, and others wear it to honor their Irish ancestry. Green decorations can be seen all over to celebrate the holiday.
Many cities with large Irish populations have huge public celebrations. Boston held its first Saint Patrick’s Day celebration in 1737. In the 1760s, New York City began the tradition of holding a parade for the occasion. Chicago dyes its river green for Saint Patrick’s Day every year.
Are you going to wear green for Saint Patrick’s Day this year? Let us know in your next Amity lesson!
