西方生日传统

第一篇：西方生日传统

西方生日传统

在多数英语国家，人们在生日聚会上唱祝你生日快乐歌，祝福过生日的人。一般是在生日Party上有人捧出点燃生日蜡烛的生日蛋糕时大家齐声歌唱（一般要关灯，保持房间黑暗）。生日蛋糕一般是一种装饰的非常漂亮的蛋糕，而且在端上来的时候上面要插上与寿星年龄一样多的蜡烛。寿星要默默的许个愿望，然后吹灭蜡烛。如果是一口气就吹灭了所有的蜡烛，那么愿望就可能实现。有种迷信说法认为如果把愿望说出来就不灵了。寿星一般要切蛋糕的第一刀，除非是太小父母才可以代劳。

如果生日聚会在一家餐馆举行，那么也会唱生日歌。餐厅的服务生可能还会领唱接着就会送上餐后甜点(可能是也可能不是蛋糕，可能免费也可能不免费)。这个餐后甜点可能用一些发光的东西代替蜡烛。餐厅的其他顾客一般会加入进来一起祝福，唱歌。在一些餐厅还会有特别的非传统生日歌去和舞蹈表演。

对于一些特别的生日或者因为蜡烛的数目会有引起火灾的风险，特殊的蜡烛可能会取代实际的多个小蜡烛。这些蜡烛做成数字的样子，例如5随生日可能在蛋糕上点一支象数字5的蜡烛，50岁生日点一支象数字50的蜡烛就行了。

生日对每个人来说都是很重特别的日子，所以一般过生日的人都会受到朋友和家人的特别待遇。所以小孩子都对自己的生日十分的期待，甚至希望早点来，但是成年人则比较反感，因为又有人来祝贺自己老了一岁。除了聚会之外，在生日这一点还会有礼物送给过生日的人，一般来说会得到一大堆朋友和家人送的礼物。

孩子们的生日聚会一般比较有趣，还有许多有意思的游戏例如老鹰抓小鸡Pin the Tail on the Donkey, 抢座位游戏，hitting piñatas等。成年人的生日聚会就比较正式了，一般是在一家餐厅吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。不管在什么年龄，这些聚会的目的都是让过生日的人感到非常的幸福快乐。有个笑话这样讲，生日有时被叫做一年内最美好的一天，生日后一天则是一年最糟糕的一天，因为到下一次生日还有一年呢！

还有一个传统叫惊喜聚会。有时人们故意显得把某个人的生日忘记了，让要过生日的人感到自己被忽视了，而实际上大家都在暗中准备惊喜聚会。相反的，很多人对这个聚会也是守口如瓶，因为大家对这个聚会都很期待。

第二篇：2月14日西方传统情人节

2月14日西方传统情人节(Double Seventh Festival)2月14日，是西方的传统节日之一。男女在这一天互送巧克力、贺卡和花，用以表达爱意或友好，现已成为欧美各国青年人喜爱的节日。大概这世上有多少情人就有多少关于情人节来历的诠释吧。和中国人现在用近乎狂热的热情过起了圣诞节一样，情人节也已经悄悄渗透到了无数年轻人的心目当中，成为中国传统节日之外的又一个重要节日。3月14日白色情人节(White Day)

3月14日是白色情人节。大家也应该很熟悉了，流行的解释是说，2·14男生要是收到女生的礼物，那就应该在一个月之后的白色情人节有个答复。白色情人节流行于日本、韩国、台湾等地区，是我们所知道的西方情人节的延续，也是最早的“非主流”情人节，也是其他“非主流”情人节的先导。其实，白色情人节的诞生，是一个不折不扣的“商业阴谋”。4月14日黑色情人节(Black Day)

就像恶搞一样，4月14日，是黑色情人节。听名字可能就能知道几分意思，跟“光棍节”差不多，据说此节来源于韩国。似乎这个情人节就是来自于没得过情人节的人群的怨念：虽然并非天下有情人都能天长地久、甚至曾经拥有，但谁说孤家寡人或旷男怨女就不能过情人节?“黑色情人节”就是属于单身贵族们的情人日。在前两个月他们或许既没收到甜蜜小礼物，也没人可以送巧克力，但4月14日这天，大家共聚一堂，彼此鼓励、加油打气，化悲愤为力量，倒也热热闹闹十分开怀，藉此消除形单影只的落寞感。

说是这么说，但是单身贵族们却能也在这一天欢天喜地，过节的人会让自己生活在百分百的黑色世界里，穿黑色套装、黑帽子、黑皮鞋，吃黑豆制成的面条，喝咖啡也不加奶精，享受黑咖啡的苦涩原味，让爱情暂时见鬼去吧!5月14日 Yellow &Rose Day 玫瑰情人节

5月14日也是情人节，如果已经到了5 月，你的事情还是没有任何进展，在这一天穿着黄色衬衫或黄色套装，吃黄色咖喱饭，就是告诉大家：“I am still available(我还是单身)!”的最好暗示。之所以5月14日有“玫瑰情人节”之称是因为这一天你可以用玫瑰表达你对对方的想法。送人红玫瑰是倾诉爱意;送白玫瑰花表示仍犹豫未决;若送上一束黄玫瑰，就是说再见咯。

6月14日 Kiss Day 亲亲情人节

你也手到他的红玫瑰了?我闪人。因为你们马上要kiss了!今天看见别人在kiss，不用回避，因为今天是Kiss Day。7月14日 Silver Day 银色情人节

7月14日是银色情人节，是把你的意中人带回家给老爸老妈认识，或介绍给其他你所尊敬的长辈的好机会。当然，这一

天的全部开销，都由这些“可爱的长辈”买单，但是你最好先确定长辈对这个节日很熟悉。银色情人节也是爱侣互赠银制礼品，饰物的日子。传统习俗是用银戒订婚，所以今天你们也去买一对，戴在手上，作为甜蜜心情的见证。8月14日 Green Day 绿色情人节

8月14日名为绿色情人节，这可不是说要环保什么的，绿色情人节当然和蓊郁的森林脱不了关系。酷热难耐的夏日午后，不妨和你的另一半作一趟清爽而清新的森林之旅，尽情享受户外大自然，度过健康而愉快的一天。相爱的人们成双成对地去郊游，爬山游水感受自然，就像他们要携手走过爱情一样。9月14日音乐情人节与相片情人节(Music Day & Photo Day)

练了好久的情歌今天终于登场了，虽然五音不全，但是用去听就有会新的笑容!拿出相机，拍下这灿烂、充满甜蜜的笑容。9月14日这天。音乐情人节这一天是举办大型社交活动，轻歌曼舞的日子，也是将你的心上人介绍给朋友，同事认识的好机会。而单身一族，更可以借此机会看看活动现场有没有自己中意的对象。

许多情侣喜欢在这天就着蔚蓝晴朗的天空合影，所以9月14日又称为「相片情人节」。

10月14日 Wine Day 葡萄酒情人节

烛光下晃动着深红的葡萄酒，爱情一样要用心慢慢的品味。10月14日，这一天恋人们轻啜葡萄美酒，庆祝充满诗意的秋天。通常小两口会选择在浪漫且别致的餐厅里共进晚餐，然后聊聊彼此对未来的规划，以及共同的目标等话题。11月14日 Orange & Movie Day 电影情人节

今晚有空吗?一起去看电影吧!手牵手一起去电影院，记得买橙汁~。

11月14日，电影情人节这一天，情侣们可以连赶两场电影，或许先看一部紧张刺激的动作片发泄压力，然后再来一部感人肺腑的浪漫爱情片互拭泪水。看完两人也该补充水分了，来杯健康的百分百橙汁吧!单身的人这一天也要喝杯柳橙汁，当然，想喝两杯才痛快也没人管的着。看来是果汁商想出来的节日。

12月14日 Hug Day 拥抱情人节

一年了，你们仍然相爱，你看天空飘着雪花，而你们相拥在一起，永远也不知道寒冷„„

12月14日，想和你的情人抱多久都可以，在公开的场合拥抱，向世人宣告你俩的爱意，也让寒冷的冬天变得格外温馨。尤其是那些甜甜蜜蜜庆祝过2月14日华伦亭情人节的情侣，到了年底依然能热情拥抱，也见证了两人情意如昔。

西方传统婚礼上牧师的证言

Minister: We are gathered here today in the sight of God, and in the face of this company, to join together(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name)in holy matrimony;which is an honorable estate, instituted of God, since the first man and the first woman walked on the earth.Therefore;it is not to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently and soberly.Into this holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined.If any one can show just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.Who gives this woman to be married to this man?

Father: My wife and I do.(Then the bride is given away)

Minister: I require and charge you both that if either of you know any impediment why you may not be lawfully joined together in matrimony, you confess it now.Be assured that if any persons are joined together otherwise than as God’s word allows, their marriage is not lawful.(Minister: addressing the groom)

(Groom’s Name), do you take(Bride’s Name)for your lawful wedded wife, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?

Groom: I do.(Minster: addressing the bride):

(Bride’s Name), do you take(Groom’s Name)for your lawful wedded husband, to live together after God’s ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?

Bride: I do.(At this point the couple may improvise by playing a favorite song, reading a scripture, etc.suggested scriptures might be genesis 2:21-25, mark 10:6-8 and 1 cor 13:4-7)

Reader 1: A reading from the book of Genesis, chapter 2, versus 21 through 25:

So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep;and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and closed up the place with flesh.Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.The man said,“this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;she shall be called’woman,’for she was taken out of man.“for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.Reader 2: A reading from the gospel of Mark, chapter 10, versus 6 through 8:

But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.So they are no longer two, but one.Reader 3: A reading from the Apostle Paul, the first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 13, verses 4 through 7:

Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It alwaysprotects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Minister: Let us pray for this man and woman as they make their marriage vows.Father, as(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name)have chosen each other, help them and bless them that their love may be pure, and their vows may be true.Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(Minister: addressing the groom who repeats the marriage vows):

I(Groom’s Name)take thee(Bride’s Name)to be my wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish,’til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance;and thereto I plight thee my troth.(Minister: then to the bride who repeats the marriage vows):

I(Bride’s Name)take thee(Groom’s Name)to be my wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love, honor, and cherish,’til death do us part, according to God’s holy ordinance;and thereto I plight thee my troth.(The Minister then gets the brides ring from the best man)

Minister:(praying over brides ring): Lord, bless this ring that he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in your peace, and continue in your favor until life’s end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(Groom: placing ring on bride’s finger):

With this ring I thee wed.Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.Minister:(praying over groom’s ring): Lord, bless this ring that she who gives it and he who wears it may abide in your peace, and continue in your favor until life’s end, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.(Bride: placing ring on groom’s finger):

With this ring I thee wed.Wear it as a symbol of our love and commitment.(Music may be inserted here.)

(The wedding song)

Minister: Let us pray

Father, we pray for all married persons, that they may continue to give, be able to forgive, and experience more and more of the joy of the Lord with each passing day.And especially for(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name), now beginning their married life together, that they may have divine assistance, the constant support of friends, and a long life with good health.May your fullest blessing come upon(Bride’s Name)and her husband(Groom’s Name), from this day forward, for ever and ever, Amen.May Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, always be at the center of the new lives you are now starting to build together, that you may know the ways of true love and kindness.May the Lord bless you both all the days of your lives and fill you with his joy.Amen.(The minister now joins their right hands together and says):

Those, whom God has joined together, let no man put asunder.In so much as(Groom’s Name)and(Bride’s Name)have consented together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the same before God and this company, having given and pledged their troth, each to the other, and having declared same by the giving and receiving of a ring, I pronounce that they are husband and wife.Minister:(to the couple): Seal the promises you have made with each other with a kiss.(The couple kisses.)

Minister: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Mr.and Mrs._________________.Now let us pray as Jesus has taught us:

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come.Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.Amen.
