Holidays June 25
Day of the seafarer (sailor)
The decision to establish the celebration of the Day of the Sailor on June 25, was made in 2010. in Manila, at a conference there organized by the International Maritime Organization. Representatives of the states included in this organization decided that such a holiday is important and necessary for all workers in the maritime professions. After all, the contribution of sailors to the development of world trade, the economy, society, is extensive and invaluable. First of all, the holiday was established for 1.5 million employees of the merchant marine fleet, who, unlike military sailors, had not had a professional holiday before that time. But it is they who carry out more than 80% of all trading activities in the world. On this day, they not only congratulate, express gratitude and honor the most worthy representatives of maritime professions, but also talk about the problems that concern modern sailors. One of the most acute and topical issues on the agenda for more than a year has been the problem of piracy. If previously water areas of Southeast Asia and Latin America have always been considered as traditionally dangerous areas, now they are the coast of Africa, especially the water area near the state of Somalia.
Day of friendship and unity of the Slavs
In the world there are about three hundred million people of Slavic nationality. They make up the majority of the population of all of Europe. Most of them are settled in the southern and eastern regions of this part of the world. These are Bulgarians, Serbs, Macedonians, Slovenes, Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians. In the central region of Europe, Czechs, Poles, Slovaks, Kashubians live. Slavs are a peace-loving people who have always coexisted amicably between themselves and people of other nationalities and faith. Unfortunately, in any family, especially a large and international one, sometimes there are disagreements and divergence of views on certain moments. At the end of the twentieth century, several multinational states, such as Czechoslovakia, the USSR, Yugoslavia, collapsed. As a result, more individual Slavic states appeared in the world, and the need arose to establish new friendships. Therefore, this holiday was established, which would help the Slavs forget the old grievances, and establish good neighborly relations between the newly formed states. And also recall the common historical roots, preserve a rich common heritage, culture and centuries-old fraternal relationships. The most mass celebration is celebrated in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The heads of these states congratulate their citizens, recall Slavic traditions and customs, and wish peace, harmony and good. This holiday is more popular than state, because it comes from common Slavic roots, customs, cultural heritage that are passed on to new generations.
