The day was not chosen by chance. On June 8, 1701, Peter the Great issued a decree according to which in medical institutions, nursing homes and shelters there was one person for every 10 patients. His duties included caring for the sick for a fee. This tradition continued until 1917.

On June 8, 1920, the official document of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee “On the formation of the Karelian Labor Commune” was signed, which gave the people the right to self-determination and proclaim the statehood of the Republic of Karelia. The territorial composition of the Karelian Republic finally defined its borders and acquired the status of an independent region, preserving traditions, culture and language.

The World Ocean accounts for neither more nor less - 70% of the entire surface of our planet. We can say that we live inside a huge water system, without which life is impossible. The element of boundless waters is represented by four famous oceans - the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic.

The holiday is purely urban and the definition of “worldwide” appeared, apparently, for greater importance. On this day, all St. Petersburg cats are necessarily pampered with something tasty, and they try to let those with “cat” surnames leave work early.

The initiator of the funny holiday was a resident of Mexico, Gabriela Delgado, an employee of the National Institute of Women. She said people who do domestic work every day are not valued enough. This is because few people understand how much effort women spend doing housework.

Since ancient times, brooms and brooms have been used to clean up trash. Brooms could not cope with soot and dust flying in the air and settling on surfaces, as well as with mites and pathogenic bacteria. This was the impetus for the invention in 1869 by Ives W. McGaffney of a unit for collecting small debris.

Carp the holiday is named after the apostle of the 70 - Saint Carp, whose memory is honored by the Orthodox Church on this day. Among the people, the name of Saint Carp was similar to the name of the fish - carp. There was a tradition on this day to go to the pond and fish, believing that the saint would help catch a lot of fish.
