Day of the apple - the history of the appearance and the script of the matinee

Perhaps, many heard about Halloween, Mother's Day, St. Valentines, who have long celebrated not only in Britain, but also far beyond its borders. However, not everyone knows about such an interesting and "tasty" holiday, like Apple Day, which is celebrated annually on October 21 in Britain.

History of occurrence

Even in ancient times, on the island of foggy Albion , the first apple trees were brought by the Romans. Then they began to actively grow this culture and bring out new varieties. It is now quite difficult to imagine Great Britain without beautiful blossoming apple and other orchards.

However, the creation of the European Union opened the English market for agricultural products of European countries, and the demand for local apples fell sharply. It was then on the initiative of the English charity organization "Common Ground" back in 1990 was the first organized apple day in the UK. And although the holiday received an "apple" name, its goal is to support all domestic products of garden farming. The fruit itself has become a kind of symbol of the diversity of all aspects of the world and a proof that a person is able to independently influence his destiny (the biblical Eve and the "forbidden fruit").

How to celebrate Apple Day in the UK?

Every year there are folk festivals with a thematic apple slope and elements of the fair. Perhaps, this is the only day of the year when not only citizens of the country, but also any guest of foggy Albion have a unique opportunity to try more than 1200 varieties of apples, most of which can not be bought in stores.

Also, on the Day of the Apple Day, everyone can purchase seedlings of rare varieties to grow them in their own garden or on the local site. Beginners amateur gardeners will be able to get a free consultation on the issues of interest to them from the leading apple tree experts.

On the Day of the apple, the chefs come to the places of major fairs, wishing to demonstrate their culinary skills. And then the guests have an opportunity to try dozens of varied dishes from apples, both hot and cold. Especially successful people can even get hold of a couple of interesting recipes, which then will surprise their friends. You can also participate in various interesting contests: archery on apples or cleaning the apple (so that the peeled peel is as long as possible).

World Apple Day

And although officially there is no such holiday, but "appleomania" from subjects of the English crown was successfully picked up by residents of the United States of America. Only they celebrate Apple Day on February 20.

The Russian Federation, Ukraine and other Slavic countries annually celebrate the Day of Harvest, which quite strongly resembles a British holiday. On this day, it is customary to hold fairs, where it is possible to buy agricultural products very profitably and participate in gay competitions.
