Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated in Great Britain and in a number of countries of the British Commonwealth of Nations: Australia, New Zealand, Canada on the day after Christmas - December 26.
Today, giant sales in stores large and small have become its hallmark. It is on Boxing Day that you can buy any item you like at half price. What people enjoy using.
However, the roots of this holiday are more than chaste. There are many theories regarding the origin of Boxing Day, but everyone agrees that the holiday began with the custom of giving money and gifts to people of lower social status. Gifts among their own kind were exchanged on the eve of Christmas, and the poorly received gifts last. Gifts were given in boxes, hence the name - Boxing Day.
Only in the last century did Boxing Day become an official holiday. The combination of two holidays - Christmas and Boxing Day - has further strengthened the tradition of families gathering for Christmas.
And in Australia Boxing Day is also becoming a significant sports day. Melbourne hosts a test match at the main cricket ground, Sydney kicks off the annual Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, which is called an icon of Australian summer sports, and which rivals in popularity with such high-profile events in the country as the Davis Cup (tennis) and Melbourne Cup (horse racing).
By the way, Catholics have a holiday analogous to Boxing Day, which is also celebrated on December 26 - St. Stephen's Day. It has similar traditions, so these holidays are often confused with each other.
