Calendar of weekends and holidays in January 2018

The anticipation of the holiday will help you not to feel sad during the first working week of the new year. The Old New Year is respected in many families, and not only Russian ones. Moreover, in 2018 it is celebrated on the night from Saturday to Sunday, so the fact that this holiday is not a national day off will not prevent you from celebrating it well.
According to tradition, on a generous evening (this is what this holiday is called in Ukraine and Belarus), it is customary to cook porridge from whole grains of wheat, bake pancakes and pies, and also prepare pork dishes, since St. Basil the Great, whose memory is honored on January 14, was the patron saint of pig farmers. Gardeners shake off snow from apple tree branches this night. This ritual is said to ensure a good harvest.

Holidays in January 2018 are not limited to Christmas and New Year holidays, this month there are quite a few interesting dates and memorable days, but none of them are a day off.
January 12– Prosecutor's Day
January 13– Russian Press Day
January 25– Student Day or Tatyana’s Day
– Day of the navigator
January 27– Day of lifting the blockade

The moon makes its usual circle, regardless of weekends and weekdays, vacations and holidays. In January, she will be especially supportive of us on the 4th, 17th and 25th. And, of course, at this time I especially want to change something in my life. You can, for example, have a wedding this month; the most suitable days for this will be January 1, 21, 26.
Those who are not ready for such drastic changes can change less dramatically and do new haircut. The moon will help in this matter on January 8, 18, 27. As a last resort, you can think about next spring and open the sowing season on the windowsill. The moon welcomes this business, especially January 2, 25 and 30 - these are the most suitable days for planting and replanting plants.

The last and 12th month of the year is December. This month, first of all, is associated with the New Year. Of course, there are other holidays in the month. Let's get to know them better.

December celebrations

An unofficial holiday in Russia is Informatics Day. For him holiday date It is generally accepted that the number 4 is number 4. The term “computer science” was first introduced by the German Karl Steinbuch in 1957. Computer science was the technical field that dealt with the authorized processing of information using a computer. In Russia, the date was chosen for a reason. At the end of the 20s, a corresponding member became interested in publications on digital computers. He decided to become an active participant in a scientific seminar that discussed issues of computer automation. Brook's invention was registered in 1948 on December 4.

On December 12, residents of our country celebrate Constitution Day. In 1993, on the same date, the Constitution of the Russian Federation was adopted by popular vote in Russia. Over time, several amendments were made to the document. One of them is that the country's president is elected once every six years. In the 1990s, our Constitution experienced at least two political crises. Yet she was able to emerge from it with dignity and honor. Now, December 12 has been considered an official holiday in the country for more than 10 years.

Energy Engineer's Day is celebrated on December 22. It is worth noting that this professional celebration falls on one of the shortest daylight hours of the year. For the first time, Energy Engineers Day was established in 1966 on May 23. All this happened in memory of the day the State Plan for Electrification of Russia was adopted in 1920. But in 1988, the holiday was moved to the third Sunday in December. And after that, in 2015, it was decided to set the celebration again on December 22. If you know people in this field, then do not forget to congratulate them with warm words from the bottom of your heart.

Bright and happy holiday The whole country celebrates New Year on December 31st. In addition, everyone celebrates it on this day. For the first time, the custom of celebrating the New Year appeared in Mesopotamia. Scientists believe that the first new year was celebrated in the third millennium BC. The tradition of celebrating the year is due to the fact that all agricultural work started at the end of March, after the water in the Tigris rose. This event was marked for 12 days with various carnivals, masquerades and processions. After, Julius Caesar introduces new calendar. And there, for the first year of the year, it is customary to consider January 1st.

Signs

If there is a lot of frost, snow and the ground is frozen, then this indicates a harvest.

If the month is dry, spring and summer will be the same.

If the sun showed up and played on Spiridon, then expect good weather on New Year and Christmas.

If the horse lies down in the harness - to the snow.

If the snow piles up close to the fences in December, there will be no harvest in the summer.

If the weather on Paramon is excellent in the morning, then the whole month will be clear. But if there is a snowstorm, then the weather will remain like this until the feast of St. Nicholas.

If there is a lot of snow on the hills, strawberries will ripen richly in the summer.

In December, as a rule, there are up to 4 thaws.

In December, quiet water in the well means a good winter, noisy water means frost.

Steady snowstorm weather means good swarming of bees.

Winter cannot exist without three winter roads.

The northern December wind leads to huge frosts.

Folk celebrations

On December 1st there is a holiday in honor of the martyrs Plato and Roman. They suffered for their faith in the 4th century. In Rus', these martyrs were considered Winter Markers. So, based on their day, the ancestors judged what the beginning of winter would be like. If a live mosquito was suddenly found in the house during a holiday, this indicated that a thaw would soon come. Also, the crow that walked along the road spoke about the imminent warmth.

The memory of Saint Procopius the Reader is celebrated on December 5th. In Rus', peasants believed that a strong, good and sleigh road was being established on Procopius. On Prokop, the ancestors placed winter milestones in the snow to mark the path. The road that led to the celebration remained until spring. As a rule, roads were laid throughout the village, and after that they gave the workers a treat and started a worldly celebration. During the celebration, children loved to gather on the street and have noisy celebrations.

Winter Andrew is celebrated on December 13th. On the eve of this holiday, the peasants listened to the water. However, not only in wells, but also in lakes and rivers. We also paid attention to other signs. For example, the ancestors thought that if it snowed on St. Andrew’s Day, it would snow for another 110 days. Healers and healers considered the day of St. Andrew the First-Called their triumph. Girls, as a rule, prayed to the apostle and asked for good suitors. Some even wondered about their betrothed. They tore off a branch of a fruit tree and then placed it in water. If it turned green at Christmas, it meant that the lady would soon get married.
