“Let's preserve our historical homeland,” is the motto of the holiday. Its goal is to attract public attention to the world cultural heritage. Events accompanying the celebration of this day in different countries of the world are aimed at conveying information about the vulnerability of cultural values ​​of humanity and the need for their preservation and protection.

Another name for the holiday is International Amateur Radio Day. It is celebrated annually around the world on April 18th. Radio is one of the outstanding inventions. In the twenty-first century digital age, you might think that radio has faded into the background. But it is not so. In our time, it remains very relevant. Many people who are passionate about radio engineering and radio communications can be found all over the world.

The same event is known as the Battle of the Ice of 1242. Traditionally, the battle on Lake Peipus is called a confrontation between Russian squads and German knights. It is not entirely correct to say this, because in the times described there was no single Russian state.

Masterful manipulation of objects is one of the most ancient arts. Old Russian heroes possessed the talent of manipulating a mace; Chinese and Japanese warriors demonstrated it with the help of swords. April 18 marks International Jugglers Day - a professional holiday for artists considered a symbol of the circus.

The day is named in honor of the righteous martyr Theodulus of Thessalonica, a church reader from Thessalonica, revered on this date among Orthodox believers. The winds became warm among the people from Fedula Vetrenik, which is why the day was called that. On the day of Fedul Vetrenik there was a custom to ventilate the room. After a long winter, this was useful, and the air outside was warm and did not freeze the rooms.
