United Nations Day
"Peacekeepers" - this word in our cruel world, now and then shaken by natural disasters and wars, is of great importance. And the actors who take on the responsibility to protect the disadvantaged victims of armed conflicts and natural disasters need planet Earth like air. Fortunately, such people exist. They are representatives of the world famous association - the United Nations. Every year on October 24, the activities of the UN become the object of close attention of the world community. On this autumn day, the world's population celebrates an important date - United Nations Day.
A bit of history
The United Nations is an international union of countries established for peacekeeping purposes. However, its activities are aimed not only at maintaining peace on the planet, but also at the progress of contacts between the states that are members of the association.
Recognizable to all the globe the name of the association appeared due to the resourcefulness of the American ruler Franklin Roosevelt. The name of the association was mentioned for the first time in the Declaration of 1942. It cannot be called an accident: the Second World War, but, despite the large-scale destructive activities of the Nazis, the members of the UN in the amount of 26 people of their own free will assumed responsibility for the continuation of the collective struggle against the fascist bloc.
In 1943, in the fall, they put their signatures under the Declaration in the Soviet capital. By and large, this document was a call by the heads of the three world powers - the USSR, America and Britain - to build an international-level association whose activities could strengthen world security. A year later, at the Washington Conference, the structure, goals and functions of the association were outlined, the need for the formation of which was felt incredibly acutely. In the winter of 1945, the heads of the world powers met again to consolidate the agreement reached within the framework of Yalta Conference. The most recent (51st) member of the UN to sign the Charter of the association later than all was Poland.
Day of Special Forces in the Russian Federation
Each state has specially trained groups to carry out the most important tasks. There are such divisions in Russia. They are engaged in anti-terrorist actions, liquidate criminal groups and gangs, free hostages, search for and capture extremely dangerous criminals, and also participate in other especially important operations. Many are familiar with the names of some groups, such as Alpha, Vityazi, Rus, Vympel. It is to the servicemen who wear maroon berets that this holiday is dedicated.
When they celebrate
Special Forces Day is celebrated on October 24. In 2018, the date is celebrated for the 13th time. On May 31, 2006, by Decree 549 of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin "On the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation", an annual celebration of this event was established.
Who is celebrating
The Day of Special Forces in 2018 is celebrated by all military personnel and veterans of the ground forces, navy and aviation, gendarmerie, police, internal troops, trained under a special program for special operations.
history of the holiday
The date of the event has a symbolic meaning. On October 24, 1950, the Minister of War of the USSR issued a top-secret directive No. ORG / 2/395/832, according to which by May 1, 1951, it was necessary to create 46 special forces companies of 120 military personnel. The document was ratified by Marshal Alexander Vasilevsky. It was thanks to this directive that the army special forces were created. Many times the structure and composition of these units have changed, but the goals and objectives facing them have remained unchanged.
World Development Awareness Day
This day was established at the regular session of the UN General Assembly in 1972. The goal pursued by the founders of this day was to use it to draw the attention of the world community to the problems of human development in different countries. To solve them, it was proposed to strengthen the international cooperation in the field of communication technologies, which allow timely and fully informing each person about ongoing events.
In order to draw attention to this little-known issue, in 1972 it was decided to coincide with the observance of 24 October as United Nations Day. The UN expressed the opinion that the establishment of such a Day will help to increase the quality of dissemination of information about development throughout the world, which, in turn, will lead to a better awareness of the problems of the development of nations. This improvement in the quality of information is especially important for the younger generation, since it is they who will build the future. It all depends on what concepts they will live with.
Today, the problem of development is also acute, so every year on October 24, it is necessary to strengthen international cooperation to resolve it.
Filippov's rigmarole
The national holiday "Philip's Gimp" is celebrated on October 24 (according to the old style - October 11). In the church calendar, this is the day of honoring the memory of one of the 70 apostles - St. Philip. Other names for the holiday: "Philip's Day", "Philip". In the old days, on this day, the peasants tried to hand over the grain to the mill. There was a rigmarole - slush, dirt on the roads.
Saint Philip was from Caesarea in Palestine. The disciples of Jesus Christ chose him as a deacon after Saint Stephen. When the persecution of Christians began, Stephen died, and Philip left Jerusalem and went to one of the Samaria cities, where he began to preach his faith. The apostle not only talked about Christ, but also worked miracles, cast out unclean spirits, healed the sick and the weak. Because of this, many pagans believed in Christ.
The people on Filippov day usually expected mud and dirt on the roads. Despite this, on October 24, people still tried to do all the necessary household chores. On this day, it was customary to take grain to the mill for grinding into flour or cereals. The way to the mill was often difficult because of the slush. Our ancestors called such a state of roads a rigmarole. From here it happened vernacular name holiday - Philip's rigmarole. About this day they said:
“Philip himself stuck to the stove, so the roads got carried away.”
By the way, the people also called the gold or silver thread used in embroidery. Its production is quite long and complicated. So, the gimp is first pulled out of the wire, and then untwisted and twisted. That is why any long and troublesome business was called a cantle.
Snow and ice were important for this day. Future profits were judged by the snow: if it lay on damp ground, but did not melt, in the spring one could hope for a good income. In addition, the morning snowfall on Philip foreshadowed a freezing winter. If the rivers were frozen by this time, then it was necessary to walk on the ice - this promised an improvement in money matters. But if the leaf fall still continued on Philip, it was necessary to prepare for a difficult year.
Billiard lover's holiday
On the Day of the billiard lover, each fan of the game traditionally visits the billiard room, where, in the company of the same connoisseurs, he definitely spends time playing several games. Not only a good game is important here, but also the atmosphere and communication with like-minded people. The billiard fan's holiday is dedicated to all fans of this gambling entertainment. It is celebrated on October 24th.
Asia is considered the birthplace of billiards, but historians have not decided whether it is the northeastern part, or the southeastern one. The first table for this game was made by order of the French King Louis XI. Billiards came to Russia from Holland during the time of Peter I, and very quickly gained popularity.
Today, October 24, 2017, they also celebrate United Nations Day, Special Forces Day in the Russian Federation and other holidays.
On October 24, 2017, the national holiday of Filippov Gimp is celebrated. The day got its name because this period was traditionally a time of mud, slush and mudslides, and the days began to drag on. In the church calendar, this is the date of memory of one of the apostles from the 70s, St. Philip.
According to legend, Philip was born in Caesarea, where he preached the faith of the Lord. The saint was married and had four daughters. After the appearance of the Holy Spirit to 12 apostles, he was assigned as a deacon in the Jerusalem church, where, among 6 other deacons, he was engaged in offerings to parishioners, helped widows, the poor and orphans. The holy martyr Archdeacon Stefan was appointed chief (senior).
During the period of persecution of Christians, Stephen was stoned to death, and Philip managed to escape. He decided to go to Sammaria, where he continued his sermons, healing the weak, the sick and driving away evil spirits. In those days, the sorcerer Simon, who was known for his magic, lived in the city. Seeing the miracles of Philip, he believed in the Lord God, was baptized and since then has not left him a single step.
The apostle converted many pagans to the faith. He was elevated to the rank of bishop and sent to Lydia. He died in old age in the city of Trallia.
On this day, it was customary to guess about the amount of money in the future. The peasants believed that if the snow fell on slightly wet soil and did not melt, then there would be a good profit in the spring, and if strong ice covered the rivers and they managed to walk on it, then a good profit awaited.
According to signs, if it snows on Phillip in the morning, then the winter will be harsh and frosty, and if the fall of leaves has not ended by the holiday of Filippov, then the year will be difficult.
The descending fog indicates the approach of a thaw, and if the wind blows from the north, then expect cold weather.
If the moon on this day hides behind a dull haze and dry leaves have not fallen from the trees, then expect bad weather.
If a Domestic bird puts his head under the wing - it promises cold. If a clear moon peeped out on Philippov's day, it would be frosty, and if mice and moles store food more than usual, then the winter will be evil.
