The scout movement owes its birth to the English retired Major General Robert Baden-Powell. In the early 20s, the scouting movement expanded beyond the UK and spread throughout the world, acquiring international status. International Scout Day began to be celebrated in 1910, and was dedicated to the date, January 5, when scout organizations were officially recognized and became a special royal charter.

A fasting day is an amazing way to bring your body to an optimal state in the shortest possible time during stormy and fairly long feasts, where extremely high-calorie food is always present in huge quantities. This kind of unloading will have a beneficial effect on the ongoing digestive processes and will almost instantly free the body from accumulated toxins and wastes.

The professional holiday was established in 1998 in accordance with the Decree of the President of the country in order to emphasize the significance and importance of the work of social services that provide support to all segments of citizens.

The Tutsindan holiday is both religious and folk. Celebrated on January 5, two days before Orthodox Christmas in Serbia, as well as Montenegro and Bosnia. Literally translated from Seob it means “The Day of the Slaughter of the Christmas Pig.” Although the holiday is officially considered Orthodox, it also retains some pagan elements.

On January 5, according to the popular calendar, Fedulov Day is celebrated, named in honor of the holy martyr Theodulus. According to legends, on this day it was impossible to cut, prick, or drip, because if a wound occurs, it will not heal within a year. Fedulov's day was devoted to household chores, in particular to caring for livestock and birds. Signs of the weather for this day: if a cat climbed towards the stove, severe frost was expected, and the activity of chickens and the snoring of a horse foreshadowed an imminent snowstorm.

The cold season encourages creative people to create sculptures from ice and snow. Since 1963, competitions have also been held in the northeast of China in the province of Heilongjiang, which owes its climate to Siberian winds with snowstorms, snowdrifts and winter temperatures from -16 to -38 °C.
