Children's Day has been celebrated for 65 years!

After the terrible events of the Second World War, the echoes of which were felt for a long time, the peoples of the whole Earth came out for a clear sky and a bright sun over the heads of children. After the first women's congress was held in Paris, a decision was made on the importance of maintaining peace and ensuring the safety of children, who no longer have to face the horrors of war.

In 1949, it was decided to introduce a worldwide holiday - Children's Day, which is now held in all countries (since 1950). Fun festivities, festivals, concerts, competitions, competitions with prizes and gifts, performances by children's groups and animation performances with the participation of favorite fairy-tale and cartoon characters are organized for children.

The day of June 12, 1990, when the first Congress of People's Deputies of the RSFSR adopted a document called "Declaration of State Sovereignty", became significant in the modern history of Russia. It became festive in 1991, and now marks a new milestone in the history of the country and the development of statehood on the principles of democracy, national sovereignty and equality.

Trinity - a holiday of youth, spring and greenery

A special day for Orthodox believers. According to the biblical story, on the fiftieth day after the Resurrection of Christ, the apostles, the Virgin Mary and the disciples of Jesus gathered together. Suddenly the wind picked up, a storm broke out, flames appeared. God's Blessing descended on all the apostles in the form of the Holy Spirit, which endowed them with the ability to preach in different, hitherto unfamiliar languages. The Trinity is a symbol of life and a bright beginning, when bouquets of fragrant flowers and greenery are brought home.

Youth Day is celebrated at the end of June

According to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, this holiday came in 1993 to replace the Day of Soviet Youth. On this day, mass celebrations are usually not held, but important decisions of the government regarding the problems of youth are timed to coincide with it. These are issues related to employment and decent wages for young professionals, and concern about the reduction in the number of young people in the age structure of the country's population, and problems affecting education and health.

In general, in Rus', a birch is the main symbol of the Trinity, it is customary to decorate with young birches not only dwellings and courtyards, but also temples. There is also a folk custom for women and girls to place meadow flowers under their pillows to ward off evil forces.

On the eve of the Trinity, it is customary to clean the house, throw away unnecessary things. On this day, in the morning, it was customary to go to the temple to pray and bless birch branches and bouquets of herbs and flowers, which were placed next to the icons and tried not to be thrown away throughout the year.

Divination for the Trinity

In ancient times, they guessed at the Trinity, starting from the Thursday before the holiday, when the people celebrated Semik or Green Christmas time.

Fortune telling on wreaths

Girls on Semik wove wreaths, put them on their heads, walked to the river and leaned over the water so that the wreath itself fell into the water. By the way the wreath floated, they tried to predict fate.

Floats smoothly - life will be good and calm.
Swims under water - to the disease.
Drowning - to trouble or to imminent death.
Swinging on the waves - to a stormy life.
Unraveled - to separation from the sweetheart.
Quickly sailed away - to marriage away from home.
Stuck by the shore - until the next Trinity, the owner will sit in the girls.

Divination on a chain.

Before divination, the girls went to church, wearing a chain around their necks. Upon returning, it was necessary to count the number of links in it three times. If an even number is rolled, the wish will come true; if it is odd, nothing will come of it. After divination, the chain could not be worn for three days.

Divination on the rings.

The girls took four different rings and put them in a bowl of rye or wheat so that the rings were not visible. A wish was made on each ring, and it was necessary to pull without looking. If the wish and the ring matched, then it will come true.

Signs and prohibitions on the Trinity

It was not customary to marry and play weddings on the Trinity, it was believed that the “Trinity” family would face only troubles in the future.
But it was customary to marry, get acquainted, arrange “conspiracies”. It was believed that young people who were "conspired" to the Trinity would have a happy family life.
On Trinity it was not customary to sew, paint (especially white), bake pies and work in the garden. Swimming in reservoirs was also banned - it was believed that on this day mermaids could drag the bather to the bottom.
If it’s rainy on Trinity, the year will be fine and fruitful, especially for mushrooms.

The day after Trinity is called Spirit Day. On this day, it was also not customary to work on the ground, but it was possible to look for treasures. It was believed that on this day the birthday land can give something valuable to someone she likes.
