On December 27, Russia annually celebrates Rescuer Day. Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, fire departments, municipal and private services, volunteers of public voluntary rescue organizations celebrate their professional holiday. This is a very solemn and important holiday in the life of every employee. On this day, new positions are distributed, awards for heroism and courage are presented, and extraordinary titles are awarded to those who have especially distinguished themselves in service.

This is a new holiday that appeared quite recently and literally before our eyes. It has been celebrated since 2020. The reason for establishing the date was the new and unprecedented threat to humanity that the world faced in 2019 - COVID-19. The pandemic has shown how vulnerable we all are to a common enemy and how strongly interconnected different countries are in the modern world.

The ability to seduce is a talent that not every person can boast of. In order to achieve their goal, seducers use various psychological tricks and techniques. December 27th is Seduction Day. This funny holiday is designed to help those who dream of acquiring a host of fans master the science of seduction.

It is quite logical that the holiday is celebrated on the eve of the New Year. Sometimes such snowflakes are given to loved ones to congratulate them on the upcoming holidays. They are even presented just like that, without any reason, in order, for example, to support a person morally, to wish him happiness or to express sympathy.

The holiday allows you to become inattentive and absent-minded for a while. On December 27, people allow themselves various liberties, from wearing clothes inside out to everyday duties that are performed exactly the opposite. A topsy-turvy day is a great opportunity to mix up your left shoe with your right, put on socks from different pairs and walk down the street backwards or even on your hands.

Today there are about 50 zoos in Russia. Both children and adults love to visit them. Communicating with animals and birds, observing their habits and lifestyle broadens your horizons, helps you achieve inner harmony and balance. In order to increase people's interest in nature reserves and zoos, an unusual holiday was established.

The origin of the holiday is connected with the Orthodox date of honoring the memory of Saint Philemon, as well as the martyrs Apollonius, Arian, Theotikh, who gave their lives for faith in Jesus Christ. The people believed that on the day of Philemon the struggle between darkness and light continued. It was believed that in the darkness of the night various evil spirits rushed through the streets, raising snow storms. Signs of the weather for that day: frost that appeared at night foreshadowed snowfall the next day, if poultry flapped its wings and tucked its paws, and bright stars were visible in the sky, people were preparing for a strong cold snap.
