World Buy Nothing Day

In 2008, nature connoisseurs and environmentalists, deciding to mobilize attention to the dwindling species of the largest pinnipeds, declared November 24 – Walrus Day. The date was not chosen by chance, since this is the period when mammals travel to the wintering shores and walruses become most vulnerable. The meaning and purpose of the date being celebrated is to attract the attention of the largest number of public to the current problems of endangered species of Pacific pinnipeds. We must not forget that due to uncontrolled fishing, both the Atlantic and Laptev subspecies of mammals have already been included in the Red Book.

On November 24, 1859, a revolution occurred in the scientific world. Charles Darwin's book on the origin of species has been published. This publication was the result of the author's painstaking work and careful observations, to which he devoted almost two decades of his life. The theory of evolution remains only a theory today, but it has accumulated such an evidence base that modern science no longer considers it the truth without reservations. Her "birthday" is celebrated every year on November 24th.

People have long revered the guardians of the hearth - representatives of the subtle plane who live side by side with them in the house. Most often, a shaggy little man, a cunning man and a lover of mischief, is called a brownie. It plays an important role in maintaining order and comfort in the home, protecting the owners from evil spirits, slander and unkind people who come to visit.

Friends are the people who surround us, the souls close to us, whom we ourselves chose - and not those who came to us through kinship. In America there is a special day - Friends Day, celebrated on November 24th. The fact is that on November 24, 1888, one famous psychologist was born, whom most educated people on Earth know - we are talking about Dale Carnegie. One of his main and popular works is the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” It’s funny that the holiday – Friendship Day – has the same name as this book.

International Carmenere Wine Day

November 24 is the day of remembrance of Fyodor the Studite, a Byzantine monk, preacher of Christianity, prominent church figure, and ascetic. His nickname “Studit”, which he received while managing the Studite monastery, was misinterpreted in Rus'. Memorial Day coincided with the beginning of the winter cold, so the monk began to be called Fyodor Moroz. A proverb appeared among the people: “Fedor Chills the earth,” and with the inevitable onset of winter, people added to it: “With Studit, the cold is worse every day.” Signs of the weather: if it was wet snow on Fedor Studit, then winter receded until the end of December and the weather remained warm for a whole month.

Orthodox holidays November 24:

In the Orthodox calendar, November 24th marks the feast of the Byzantine saint Theodore the Studite, confessor. Despite the fact that the monk lived in a state where the Christian religion had long become the only and official religion, he suffered many persecutions and torments from the imperial power. Being a true Christian, the saint spoke the truth without fear to the faces of the rulers, denouncing their unrighteous actions. The saint left behind an example of steadfast faith; he is one of the main teachers and righteous teachers of asceticism and a defender of icon veneration. Theodore is known for his literary works; his monastic rule was spread throughout all Christian countries, including Rus'.
