International Mother-in-Law Day. Every fourth Sunday in October, the world celebrates an unusual, but undoubtedly the favorite holiday of any son-in-law - International Mother-in-Law Day. Although it does not yet have official status, it is already very popular in many countries. Originating in the 1930s in the USA as a joke (according to one version, as an alternative to Mother’s Day), subsequently, every year, it gained more and more fans, including in other countries.

At first, Mother-in-Law Day was celebrated in the spring, but then its date moved to the fourth Sunday in October. And traditionally it is celebrated, of course, in the family circle. In Ukraine, this holiday became known not so long ago and has not yet become widespread, which is a pity...

After all, this is a very useful holiday - first of all, it is intended to improve relations between two important family members, mother-in-law and son-in-law, whose dislike for each other and enmity have long become a reason for jokes (at best, and at worst, leads to the breakup of families). Therefore, if you, men, want to get a friend and assistant, including in raising your children (her grandchildren), then treat this woman with respect and due respect.

According to psychologists, son-in-law conflicts are a normal phenomenon, because these two people are completely strangers to each other, and in addition there is a big difference between them in age, upbringing, interests... But still there is something that unites them - a woman is a wife for one , for the second - a daughter who is forced or pleased to act as a mediator between these two sides of the dialogue / conflict.

A number of men are of the opinion that the happiest man on earth is the biblical Adam - he never had a mother-in-law...

By the way, linguists explain the origin of the Russian word “mother-in-law” as a derivative of the word “father-in-law” or “parent”, that is, she is a “parent”. And some language researchers believe that the Russian word “mother-in-law” comes from the verb “to console.” Therefore, when celebrating today's holiday, men, do not skimp on compliments and gifts to your mother-in-law, be attentive and friendly towards her. And most importantly, remember that before you is a real woman who raised a precious treasure for you - your wife, who taught her to be an excellent housewife, a faithful wife and a caring mother.

Signs October 23 - the day of Evlampia and Evlampia of the Winter Indicators

On October 23, the peasants went about their usual business. On October 23, they honored brother and sister - Evlampia and Evlampia Winter Pointers. They lived during the reign of Emperor Maximilan, who was known for his intolerance towards followers of the Christian faith.

It is interesting that Evlampius and Eulampia came from a noble family and, if they wanted, could have lived comfortably, but one day they decided to convert to Christianity in their hometown of Nicodemus. When they learned about Maximilian’s order to rid the city of all Christians, they did not run away, and Eulampius himself, moreover, laughed in the face of the emperor’s guards, for which he was captured and subjected to a lot of torture.

Evlampius endured all the torment steadfastly and did not renounce his faith. Evlampia, having learned how Evlampius was suffering, also went to trial and declared herself a Christian, saying that she was ready to endure the same suffering along with her brother.

The pagans tried to burn the brother and sister in the oven and boil them in boiling water, but they could not do them any harm. Then the emperor ordered that Eulampius' head be cut off, after which his sister gave up the ghost from grief.

On October 23, it was customary to split logs into splinters. Then the torches were installed at an angle of 10-15 degrees in special lamps called light fixtures.

It was in their light that the peasants usually did some kind of household chores: handicrafts, cooking, making something, repairing tools. Since the torch burned out quite quickly (in just a few minutes), the children were instructed to ensure that the torches were changed on time.

Among the people, fire emanating from a splinter was the main element that ruled the world. They perceived it as a flame that destroyed everything in its path, from which it was impossible to escape. However, if you learn to control the fire of a splinter, you can get the necessary warmth, the ability to cook food and survive the cold season more easily. Moreover, the light of the splinter was associated with the sun, which was becoming less and less - the days, for the most part, were cloudy.

Folk signs on October 23

On October 23, the last cumulus clouds floated across the sky, and the water in reservoirs was already freezing. Therefore, the peasants were preparing for winter, and this time was filled with a variety of worries

Advertising Workers Day

The Russian professional holiday annually brings together thousands of workers, those who are in any way connected with advertising activities: creators, marketers, creatives, PR people, customers and the like. The holiday began to be celebrated relatively recently - in 1994. It was from the mid-nineties that advertising as a business area began to gain momentum. We all know what role advertising plays and what goals customers pursue. In Russia, the holiday is accompanied by various entertainment events. Organizers develop various games, competitions, and in the evening corporate events in the advertising industry visit restaurants or other entertainment venues.

Chongyang Festival

Chongyang is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth month (lunar calendar). In 2012, the event falls on October 23. According to legend, there lived one spirit that swept away everything in its path. No one and nothing could destroy him. One day, a village boy named Han, deciding to avenge his parents, challenged the spirit. He gathered people and took them to the mountains, where, armed with dogwood and chrysanthemum wine, he was able to kill the insatiable evil spirits. That is why on this day it is customary to go for a walk in the mountains, collect chrysanthemums, and also congratulate the elderly.

National Liberation Day (Egypt)

In 1956, France, Israel and England developed a plan to conquer Egypt. Their goal was to weaken the position of the state and force it to come to terms with Israeli policies. On October 29, troops invaded Egyptian soil, and 2 days later there was a massive bombardment, but despite this, the valiant Egyptians were not going to give up. All neighboring countries, including the USSR, demanded an end to the aggression and directed the UN Security Council to take urgent measures to stop the lawlessness, but the enemies, using their veto power, froze the Council. Then the USSR and a number of other countries made a decision and warned the aggressors of their intention to stand up for Egypt if they did not withdraw their troops from the territory, and in 1957 the invaders were forced to stop hostilities.

Celebration of the Akathist Icon of the Mother of God

The event is celebrated by the Orthodox Church. The icon became famous in the 13th century in the Zograf Bulgarian monastery during attempts to impose a union on the Eastern Church. However, the inhabitants of the church rejected the union and were attacked by its supporters. According to legend, one elder, reading an akathist in front of the icon, heard her words, which ordered him to warn everyone about upcoming events. The elder did just that. Many of the brethren hid in the mountains; those who remained hid the icons in the tower and locked themselves there before the invasion of enemies. Supporters of the union, after long negotiations, set fire to the tower with the servants of God, and they died in the fire. All the icons burned down except the one that warned the elder about the danger.

October 23 according to the folk calendar (according to the old style - October 10):

Evlampius Winter Pointer

On this day, two saints are remembered - Evlampios and Eulampia. They were brother and sister and lived during the reign of Maximilian. The emperor hated Christians, but this fact did not stop his relatives - they proudly accepted Christianity, for which they were condemned to death. Before death, they had a choice: die or renounce God. The brother and sister chose the first option and died as martyrs.

In Rus', people used this day to judge the upcoming weather. According to legend, people paid attention to the month: where its horns are directed, strong winds will blow from there. There is another interpretation of the sign: if the horns pointed to the north, severe winter will soon come, but if to the south, the weather in the next two weeks will be dirty and slushy.

On this evening, armed people burst into the building of the Theater Center, where more than 700 people were located, declared all those present hostages and began to mine the cultural center. The terrorists turned out to be Chechen militants. Many of them, including women, hung themselves with explosives. The demands of the suicide bombers were the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya. All negotiations conducted with the terrorists did not produce a positive result: the hostages received neither water nor food. Relatives of the people in the building demanded that all the conditions of the Chechens be fulfilled, but the authorities put forward their own conditions to the invaders: the lives of the terrorists would be spared if they freed the hostages. On October 26, at about six o'clock in the morning, special forces stormed the building, using nerve gas to neutralize it, which destroyed not only the terrorists, but also many hostages. October 28 was declared a day of mourning in the Russian Federation for the victims of the terrorist attack.

He came into contact with the surrounding nature and at the same time seemed to rush forward in all directions: into the future, past and present, trying to connect them into one whole.” – /Jawaharlal Nehru/

«< >I think it is precisely in these days of world fires and turmoil that one should turn to eternal values. Towards the values ​​of man’s highest creative aspirations, which are not subject to temporary destruction and strife.< >

Only by striving for something better and sublime can we elevate ourselves; and in this light, how paramount becomes the necessity of protecting and preserving all the innumerable manifestations of human genius entrusted to us by previous generations!

Let us jealously and lovingly protect the creations of all great people that have come down to us! These lofty souls, who left us their eternal testimonies, will always radiate their light for those who can tune themselves in tune. Let's strive and find a worthy goal in life not only to improve our material existence! Let's look wider and beyond this and see life in a new light, full of meaning and meaning!

“..Our common cause will grow and expand”

— Svyatoslav Nikolaevich, you are a purposeful person (this, apparently, is also hereditary), which means that some serious matter brought you to Moscow. I think I can guess what...

- Exactly. Creation here of the Roerich Foundation and the Nicholas Konstantinovich Center-Museum. This fund will be a life-giving source, called upon to actively participate in the popularization of the thoughts and works of Nikolai Konstantinovich, Elena Ivanovna, my brother and mine. Undoubtedly, he will be able to give a new direction, new ideas to our everyday life. We all must, one way or another, strive to create a more perfect, more beautiful life, and therefore conditions that could help us find new approaches to this life.

— Your proposal was made in July, and already in October the Foundation was formed, and work began on creating the Center. Are you satisfied with this pace and with the work of the people directly implementing your concept?

- I'm completely satisfied. Judging by the beginning, there is reason to think that our common cause will grow and expand. We see this in other countries, for example, in India, where the Roerich organizations have now received great support, and people are trying to come to us in every possible way. I am glad that this provides new opportunities to reveal to everyone the broad and multifaceted activities of our family, whose soul and thoughts have always been inseparable from their native country. In his “Testament” Nikolai Konstantinovich said: “But this is what I bequeath to everyone, everyone... In peaceful work the peace of the whole world is learned. The world is building towards a bright future. And where construction is going on, everything is going on... Love your Motherland with all your might - and it will love you. We are rich in the love of the Motherland"

Amazing, prophetic words, especially considering that they were spoken more than thirty years ago. But here’s what I’m thinking about... Perhaps we should learn to love our Motherland again, so that it loves us? After all, it’s difficult for her now because we have forgotten how to work and be responsible for our actions, and have enveloped her in thousands of painful and intractable problems. Nikolai Konstantinovich called the Russian people builders, and we, it seems, are only now beginning to truly understand that rebuilding is more difficult than building. Even if the foundation is solid...

Difficulties are inevitable. Any creative work costs a lot of effort. And we must be ready for this. Only through our striving for something more perfect can we move forward, further expand our horizons, and therefore not only anticipate difficulties, but also overcome them. After all, without comprehending what surrounds him, a person is blind. And when Nikolai Konstantinovich urged us to strive for the beautiful, he was convinced that the beautiful would open up for us new opportunities for knowledge and self-knowledge, the pursuit of a high goal.

But just wishing, just striving is not enough. “Faith without works is dead” - this truth is eternal, and it must be put into practice. Everyone is capable, but certainly everyone, because we are all together a family of people building a common house. And striving for perfection, we come into contact with the forces that surround us, and this opens up new opportunities for us. We must always remember the main thing - the desire and ability to change ourselves for the better is in our hands. It does not depend on anyone or anything except ourselves. The only important thing is to really decide to change yourself. And to do this, gather courage and see yourself from the outside. It's difficult. But it's still possible.

— Svyatoslav Nikolaevich, I want to continue the conversation about love for the Motherland. Is it reasonable to think that you personally love her more than everyone else, and this gives you the right to look down on them, to judge them? Is love for the Motherland compatible with hatred of other peoples?

- Never. Our feeling of love must be universal. We must consider everyone our loved ones, our brothers, and build this great bridge of friendliness that unites everyone and leads to a new life. After all, in essence, the planet is so small that we all depend on each other, like members of one family.

And we must always remember that we came out of Infinity and Eternity, and before these two great moments everyone is equal! And although we still cannot understand them for ourselves, we must perceive them as reality, as an integral part of our existence.

- And this, and the other, and the third - everything fits within the framework of good. In my opinion, if you sincerely want to do it, you don’t have to be afraid to look naive and even funny, and then a miracle can really happen. All good ways and beginnings are good. And can any good beginning be bad? All this is, in general, very simple. What, after all, is prayer? This is a spiritual desire for a more beautiful reality, which in many ways a person is able to create himself.

— Do you have any other vivid impressions from your current stay in Moscow?

- Yes, sure. This is a meeting with Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev and Raisa Maksimovna Gorbacheva, whom we were happy to see again. We also met many friends and like-minded people, with whom we discussed our common plans and ways to implement them.

I myself chose the former mansion of Princess Lopukhina near the Pushkin Museum on Volkhonka for the future Nikolai Konstantinovich Center-Museum. This is a beautiful corner of old Moscow, where the atmosphere is imbued with spirituality and beauty.

— What would you, Svyatoslav Nikolaevich, want to wish our people in this difficult time?

— Believe in your own strengths and, as best and conscientiously as possible, carry out, together and each individually, those difficult tasks that urgently require solving today. I am confident, I know that our people will be able to cope with them and will become a worthy example to all those who will come later and admire their courage and heroism. And so that this future begins today...
