The article examines the role of American and British holidays as stable carriers of the national cultural code. The analysis of festive practices shows that they function not merely as public holidays or entertainments, but as symbolic systems transmitting historical memory, value orientations and social norms of the two Anglo-Saxon cultures. Through a comparison of rituals, symbolism and historical contexts, the author emphasizes the way holidays shape collective identity, consolidate foundational myths and adapt to contemporary globalization challenges.
