World Snow Day (International Winter Sports Day)

World Religion Day

On January 21, all corners of the planet celebrate one of the most unusual and kind holidays - World Hug Day. The history of this magnificent celebration began in America. In the 70s last century, in the territory inhabited by smart Indians and dashing cowboys, someone decided to hug everyone who met along the way, even strangers, on a winter January day.

The creation of an educational institution that trained officers for artillery and engineering troops became the starting point of the official history of this type of military force. The Engineering Troops Day is celebrated on the day Peter I signed the decree on the creation of this educational institution - the Pushkar Order School - January 21.

The main goal of the celebration is to prove to people that you can have fun without alcohol, it is only important to choose the right company. This holiday also calls on the public to pay attention to the problem of alcoholism, which is equally common among residents of developed and developing countries.

The history of this holiday began in the last century. On January 21, 1925, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR issued documents that regulated the work of the system for training scientific workers. What is graduate school? This is the very first step on the long ladder of a scientific career.

The name of the holiday is identical to the Old Russian designation for the entire month of January. Prosinets meant the clearing or radiance that clear winter days slowly began to bring joy to. The bright sun became stronger and bolder every day, and lingered longer in the sky, promising the inevitable arrival of spring.

Some people simply call them “sweatpants”, while others call them “sweatpants” or “sweatpants”. This doesn’t change the essence, sweatpants are one of the most comfortable elements in any person’s wardrobe. Sweatpants not only provide comfort, but also keep athletes warm when they perform outside on cool days. Even though sweatpants are made for exercise, people wear them for the exact opposite reason - to relax and feel comfortable!

A sense of humor and jokes charge you with positivity and good mood for a long time. For those who like to laugh and demonstrate a non-trivial approach to life, a special holiday has been invented - the Day of Witty Phrases, celebrated on January 21 by people who are characterized by irony, erudition and optimism.

Modern children spend a lot of time on the Internet. Sometimes it seems that they have completely forgotten how to play and communicate offline. It is more difficult for a child who is constantly sitting in front of a gadget monitor to socialize. He is deprived of the joy of movement and communication with peers while playing on the street. January 21 marks International Children's Day, which encourages children to engage more actively with each other to develop vital life skills.

Holidays of Belarus - Day of the Engineering Troops of Belarus

The name of the holiday comes from the church date of honoring the memory of St. Emilian the Confessor. People celebrated this day as Emelyan Kumishny. According to tradition, godfathers who baptized the child were invited to visit. They tried to treat them as generously as possible - the more nutritiously the godfather or godfather was fed, the stronger the child’s health would be. Signs of the weather for this day: a dog lying curled up at the booth foreshadowed cold in the coming days, and fogged glass on the windows meant that it would soon become warmer.
