Holiday September 3: Talent Search Day, the memory of Saint Anthimus and the uniqueness of DNA

Today, the world celebrates several important events at once. It is a day to remember spiritual values, professional growth, and scientific discoveries that have changed the world.

Church holiday

According to the new calendar, believers honor the memory of the holy hieromartyr Anthimus, Bishop of Nicodemus . Anthimus, who lived in the 3rd-4th centuries, was distinguished by wisdom and firmness in faith during the cruel persecution of Christians. He supported his flock, and his sermons converted many. For his loyalty and steadfastness, the saint was beheaded with the sword around 303-304.

Several folk signs are associated with this day. According to beliefs, today one should not distribute grain, quarrel, or engage in heavy physical labor. It was believed that thick dew in the morning foreshadowed a sunny day, and the early departure of cranes - an early and cold autumn.

World and professional holidays

Today is World Talent Search Day . The holiday was established in 2018 to honor the recruitment professionals who help companies find the best employees and build successful teams.

September 3 is also DNA Uniqueness Discovery Day . This date commemorates the revolutionary discovery by British geneticist Alec Jeffreys in 1984 that each person has a unique genetic code encoded in the DNA molecule. This marked the beginning of a new era in genetics and forensics.

Memorable dates in history

September 3 went down in history with significant events, including:

  • 1783: End of the American Revolutionary War with the signing of the Treaty of Paris.
  • 1914: invention of the bra by American Mary Phelps Jacobs.
  • 1939: Great Britain declares war on Nazi Germany, beginning World War II.
  • 2005: The Ukrainian national football team qualifies for the World Cup for the first time in history.
