This day was first held in 2013, and the basis for establishing the date was a tragic event. Two French journalists were covering yet another military confrontation on the African continent (Mali), but on November 2 they were kidnapped by militants and killed, which came as a shock to all humanity. This event also attracted attention because the helplessness of justice, including international organizations, became obvious.

The difference between this day and ordinary memorials is that people do not go to the cemetery to remember the dead. Autumn Grandfathers is a family holiday, a reason for all relatives to gather around the table. According to legends, in the evening of this day, deceased relatives (grandfathers) themselves come to the house and have a meal with living people. The living treat the spirits and thank them for their protection.

To this day, many objects of historical and cultural value have been preserved in St. Petersburg. As a result, St. Petersburg gained recognition, and some foreign diplomats, historians, and politicians put it on a par with such giants as Paris, Milan, London and more.

Opening the “third eye,” as the pineal gland is often called, and gaining the opportunity to see events of the past and future is within the power of every person. This goal is achievable with regular training and the use of spiritual practices. An unusual holiday is intended to encourage people to self-knowledge.

On this day, Orthodox Christians remember Artemius of Antioch. On this day, housewives began to ferment cabbage from the new harvest. The men repaired the fence, because family wealth was leaking through the holes in it. It was believed that from November 2, wolves begin to approach human homes. If they howled, then people were preparing for a harsh winter.
