May 25: What a holiday today, whom they are honored and why this day is special

Today's Sunday is not only the end of spring, but also a day with deep content for the church, culture, science and society. In Ukraine, on May 25, it combines church honors, professional dates and events of international importance.

According to the church calendar, it is the Day of Remembrance of John the Baptist, a prophet who baptized Jesus Christ. In the folk tradition, he was considered the patron of the renewal, and believed that prayers to him help to overcome headache and internal anxiety. On this day, it is customary to wear bright clothes, and near the house was planted viburnum or rowan - fortunately and well -being.

People also watched signs. If the day is cloudy - summer promises to be rainy, and if the clouds are red at dawn, it is to drought. Particular attention was paid to the flowering of trees and sounds of thunder, seeing in them signs for the crop.

Today, Africa is celebrated in the world, and also mention the missing children - hoping that attention to this topic will save someone's life. At the same time, representatives of important professions - philologists, chemists, surgeons - are honored. These specialties are different in essence, but equally important to society.

For the people of Kyivans, on May 25, the capital celebrates the City Day. Exhibitions, excursions, chamber concerts are ongoing in the city. Without loud mass events - but with warmth and honored to the history of Kiev.

Birthdays are celebrated today by Ivan, Fedor, Jan, and in the old style also Anton, Herman, Denis and Peter. All those who carry these names are started to welcome words of gratitude and wishes of peace.

May 25 is not only a date on the calendar. It is a reminder of faith, knowledge, human dignity and respect for traditions. The day when light is more important than noise.
