Other Important Holidays
Holidays of the Slavs
Ancestors given folk wisdom
Slavism- this is the veneration of the Family, ancestors, and the creation of family tribal life, according to ancient Slavic customs.
Traditions of the Russian people is the invaluable experience of innumerable generations of our ancestors. And no matter how many epochs pass, how many wander in the darkness of foreign traditions, Russian people always return to their native tradition.
Our calendar - or, more correctly, Carols Dar- served our ancestors for thousands of years, helping them to cultivate the land and harvest in time. The year, divided into twelve parts, was depicted on ritual thickets, and a special sign corresponded to each month.
Annual wheel - Kolo Svarog- carried a special meaning, which consisted in the eternal rebirth and renewal of all living things. But the calendar is important not only for weekdays, it is always decorated with happy holidays.
Traditional Slavic holidays
Traditional Slavic holidays associated with nature and the events taking place in it, they contain and conceal a deep sacred essence and meaning. Almost all holidays among the Slavs coincide with the life cycle of the Earth, and therefore have not only a spiritual meaning, but also something else - familiarization with Nature, bringing into your life the feeling that the Earth is living matter. The rituals that our great ancestors once performed in the old days are designed to ensure peaceful coexistence and harmony with nature.
Sun has long been especially revered by the Slavs as a symbol and source of life on earth, giving warmth and light to all living things. And this happens every year, constantly, along an uninterrupted stake [circle], in the form of which the ancient Slavs also represented our Universe.
Names of the Slavic months years reflect those changes in nature that are most characteristic of each of the four seasons. Below is a list of the main holidays and customs of the Slavs.
The seasons symbolize birth [spring], growing up [summer], maturity [autumn], death [winter].
Kologod among the Slavs divided by four seasons [winter, spring, summer, autumn], in each of which great holidays are specially celebrated: 2 solstices [solstice] in winter and summer - the time when the Sun is reborn: the old Sun fades away, but its place is taken by a new one - the emerging young and 2 equinoxes [spring and autumn].
The chronology of the Slavs
Calendar reform of Peter I
It is no secret that the widespread use of the Russian calendar ceased on the orders of Peter I. The tsar, brought up by foreigners, introduced a new alien calendar on the territory of Russia and ordered on the night of January 1 to celebrate the coming of the year 1700 from the Nativity of Christ. While the summer of 7208 was going on in Russia. The chronological innovation was the curtsy of Peter I to the West and the theft of five and a half thousand years of history from the Slavic-Aryan culture.

For the first time on the territory of the Russian Empire, he appeared in 1890-1891. The original name is International Workers' Day. In the Soviet Union, the holiday was often called simply by the number - May 1 (May Day).
A holiday formerly known as International Workers' Day. Almost immediately after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the holiday was renamed the Spring and Labor Day. Along with the name change, the general perception of this day has also changed. Once the main day when one could express one's concern over a number of social and political problems, it has become more and more perceived as a glorious warm spring holiday at the beginning of the last month of spring, when you can relax with your family at home or in the country.
9th May -
Victory Day is a holy holiday for each of us, which has been celebrated since 1945.
At the same time, a solemn and bitter celebration of the victory of Soviet troops over the invader in the Great Patriotic War. On this significant day, it is customary to congratulate veterans and celebrate the merits of the Soviet people, who took upon themselves all the hardships of wartime for the future of their Motherland. On May 9, meetings of veterans are traditionally held, a parade of troops and military equipment is held, flowers are laid at the places of Military Glory. The importance and solemnity of this day is emphasized by the festive fireworks roaring in many Russian cities. On Victory Day, people sincerely rejoice at the victory in this difficult war and honor the masculinity and extraordinary stamina of the Soviet people.
It is on May 9 that we especially strongly feel our responsibility for preserving the true history of our country, we feel pride in our long-suffering people and we want to believe that the horrors of the war will not happen again.
12 June -
Russia Day or Independence Day of Russia, as this holiday was called until 2002, is one of the “youngest” public holidays in the country.
In 1994, the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin, by his decree, gave this day a national significance - the Day of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Russia. And since 2002 - June 12 is celebrated as the "Day of Russia".
Celebrated since 2005.
This is not a new holiday, but a return to the old holiday after a long break (from 1917 to 2005).
The alleged reason for the approval of the holiday was the cancellation of the Day of the Great October Socialist Revolution. November 7 was replaced by National Unity Day, which is celebrated on November 4 and is officially a non-working holiday. On December 16, 2004, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted simultaneously in three readings amendments to the federal law "On the Days of Military Glory (Victory Days of Russia)". One of the changes was the introduction of a new holiday - National Unity Day. There was an actual transfer of the state holiday from November 7 (was the Day of Accord and Reconciliation) to November 4 (Became - the Day of National Unity).
