Feast of Hugs, Maxim's Day: which is celebrated on January 21

Today, January 21, is full of events, memorable dates and festive traditions. In the church calendar, this day is celebrated as the feast of Saint Maxim the Confessor. According to legend, during the torture, he was deprived of the ability to speak, but due to a divine miracle, the saint received the gift of speech again. According to the old style, St. Gregory the Wonderworker and Gregory of Kiev-Pechersk, known for his asceticism, are also revered.

This holiday was started in order to spread the warmth of human relationships and remind us how important touch is for our health and emotional state. The tradition of the holiday is simple and touching: hugging relatives, friends and even strangers.
