On November 19, Russia celebrates Glazier Day. Since 2000, people involved in the production, processing or installation of glass products have celebrated a professional holiday. On this day M.V.

The scientist’s contribution to the Russian glass industry is enormous, which is why the date of his birth became Glazier’s Day in Russia.

Artillerymen serve in one of the oldest branches of the military. It’s not for nothing that artillery is called the “god of war.” Not a single major operation takes place without the use of missile troops and artillery. The destruction of nuclear arsenals, concentrations of troops, air defense, control posts, this is not a complete list of the tasks facing this branch of the military.

Blacksmithing, one of the most ancient crafts, was patronized by the Slavic god Svarog and the ancient Greek Hephaestus.

While the Orthodox Church on November 19 honors the memory of St. Paul the Confessor and St. Varlaam of Khutyn, in the folk Christian calendar this day is called Pavel the Freeze-up and is marked by the tightening of rivers with a strong ice crust. According to signs, the peasants predicted the weather: if the day of Pavel Freeostav turned out to be windless, expect frost soon, and if it snows on that day, then the winter will be long and snowy.

A lush loaf with a crispy crust on the table in the house has long been a symbol of well-being. Bread was considered a sacred dish - it was used to greet dear guests and newlyweds, thereby appealing to God's mercy. Therefore, flour products were always baked with folk spells, and after Russia adopted Christianity - with prayers, making the sign of the cross.
