What today for a church holiday
On February 22, the church calendar is to find the relics of the holy martyrs in Eugene. During the persecution of Christians, the martyrs of the martyrs were thrown at beasts and birds, but faithful Christians secretly buried them. When the persecution ended, the relics of the holy martyrs emerged from the bowels of the earth as lamps from the forth. The amazing healing of the patients began at the burial place. The saint excavated this place with a parish church and found many relics. These relics were whole and incorruptible, giving out miraculous scents that healed the ailments. The relics were moved to church with songs and psalms. One of the found martyrs was St. Andronik, one of the seventy apostles, and his assistant young, who is mentioned by the Apostle Paul in his message to the Romans.

What a day today is in Ukraine and the world
On February 22, Ukraine and the world are celebrated by International Day for Score Competitions . It is a holiday dedicated to the art of fast and clear pronunciation of complex phrases, which often contain similar sounds, which complicates their pronunciation. The exact origin of this date is unknown, but the patter was used in different cultures for centuries as a means of training diction, speech development and even entertainment. In the modern world, they are popular with speakers, actors, speech therapists and anyone who wants to improve their speech skills.
Also on February 22, the day of the scouting founder . It is celebrated in honor of Robert Baden-Pauel (1857-1941), the founder of the Scout Movement. Robert Baden-Powell was a British military, writer and teacher, who held the first experimental scout camp on Brownya in 1907. In 1908, he published the book Scouting for the Boys, which became the basis of the World Scout Movement. February 22 is also his wife's birthday, Olav Baden-Pauel, who made a significant contribution to the development of women's scouting. Therefore, this day is also celebrated as World Scout Day.
And on February 22, the day of humility . Humility is the ability to recognize their restrictions, accept criticism, not put yourself above others and respect the world and people with respect.

Also, February 22, one -threatening day . It is a holiday devoted to efficiency, concentration and combat of multitasking, which often leads to a decrease in productivity and increased stress.
