QUÉ SIGNIFICA HOLIDAY EN INGLÉS

Fiesta

Holiday

Un día festivo es un día reservado por la costumbre o por la ley en la que se suspenden o reducen las actividades normales, especialmente negocios o trabajo. Generalmente, los días festivos tienen la intención de permitir a las personas celebrar o conmemorar un evento o tradición de importancia cultural o religiosa. Los días festivos pueden ser designados por gobiernos, instituciones religiosas u otros grupos u organizaciones. El grado en que las actividades normales se reducen en vacaciones puede depender de las leyes locales, las costumbres, el tipo de trabajo que se celebra o incluso las elecciones personales. El concepto de vacaciones se ha originado con mayor frecuencia en relación con las observancias religiosas. La intención de un día de fiesta era típicamente para permitir a individuos a tender a los deberes religiosos asociados con las fechas importantes en el calendario. En la mayoría de las sociedades modernas, sin embargo, los días de fiesta sirven tanto de una función recreativa como cualquier otro día o actividades del fin de semana. En muchas sociedades hay distinciones importantes entre las fiestas designadas por los gobiernos y las fiestas designadas por las instituciones religiosas.

A holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law on which normal activities, especially business or work, are suspended or reduced. Generally, holidays are intended to allow individuals to celebrate or commemorate an event or tradition of cultural or religious significance. Holidays may be designated by governments, religious institutions, or other groups or organizations. The degree to which normal activities are reduced by a holiday may depend on local laws, customs, the type of job being held or even personal choices. The concept of holidays has most often originated in connection with religious observances. The intention of a holiday was typically to allow individuals to tend to religious duties associated with important dates on the calendar. In most modern societies, however, holidays serve as much of a recreational function as any other weekend days or activities. In many societies there are important distinctions between holidays designated by governments and holidays designated by religious institutions.
