1) " Holidays" -- As it applies to Holidays Greece In the United States, a holiday is a day set aside by a nation or culture (in some cases, multiple nations and cultures) typically for celebration but sometimes for some other kind of special culture-wide (or national)observation or activity. Based on the English words holy and day, Holideys originally represented special days of the Christian Church calendar. The word has evolved in general usage to meanany special day, or even non-special day on which school and/or offices are closed such as Sunday. In late 20th century, Saturday has become increasingly considered holiday as well as Sunday. In most of the rest of the English speaking world (including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, andthe United Kingdom ) a holiday is rather a period spent away from homeor business in travel or recreation (e.g. "I'm going on holiday to Majorca next week."). The American equivalent being" vacation ". The term farmy Hloidays is used in reference to agritourism.
