Children's literature is a rich heritage that dates back only to the mid-17th century. Before this period, fairy tales were mostly retold, and children could only read adult fables or the Bible. Each of us had favorite books as children that set the tone for our fantasies. Often remembering our parents' house, the image of a mother reading a new fairy tale on the sofa pops up in our thoughts.

This day was established by the UN in 2007 in order to draw the attention of the world community to people with similar disorders. Autism is a mental disorder that remains with a person throughout his life. People with autism have difficulty finding social interaction, have problems communicating with others, exhibit unusual behavior, limited interests, and reduced activity.

On April 2, 1996, a document was signed on the creation of the Community of Belarus and Russia. Exactly a year later, this association was transformed into the Union of Belarus and Russia. The agreement on it lost force after the formation of the Union State. In this regard, the date April 2 is celebrated as the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Belarus and Russia. The holiday is annual; its tradition includes holding relevant events and meeting state leaders.

The name of the holiday is taken from the church calendar - the date of veneration of St. Photina the Samaritan, a preacher of Christianity who lived in the 1st century. People believed that on this day well water had healing powers. Weather signs for this day: daytime warmth and nighttime cold foreshadowed good weather for several days. Rain falling on Fotinev's day promised a rich mushroom picking in the summer.

On April 2, it is customary to carry out verification - confirmation and search for evidence of any algorithms, theories, programs and procedures by comparing them with prototypes and programs. Recently, a lot of misinformation has begun to appear on the Internet. In order to prevent its spread, April 2 is celebrated as International Fact-Checking Day.
