September 3, 2005
But on September 3, what kind of holiday began to be celebrated in Russia since 2005? Anyone who knows about this event will immediately be transferred to that difficult and not at all festive day when the misfortune happened.
When in the city of Beslan, terrorists were able to not only capture, but also destroy the lives of about 300 people, 150 of them were children. Who and why did this in peacetime in a peaceful city - now this issue is no longer relevant. Now the urgent task is to do everything so that this does not happen anywhere and never. So then what kind of holiday on September 3 we celebrate the whole country? Yes, this day we celebrate as the Day of Remembrance associated with those tragic events.
The official name of this day is the Day of Solidarity in the fight against terrorism. And therefore, antiterrorist actions and movements are being organized and carried out all over the world, which contribute to raising knowledge about how to prevent and how to counter terrorism all over the world. Therefore, farewell Day is still celebrated on September 3. What a holiday, we have already learned.
The terrorists were still defeated, with heavy and irreparable losses, but nevertheless they were destroyed. As in the Victory over fascism, we suffered innumerable losses, but nevertheless we mark the end of the war with Victory Day, proclaiming the end to dark forces and the dawn of a brighter future.
Happy day September 3
The Russian Church celebrates this day as Thaddeus Day, dedicated to one of the 70 apostles of Christ and sent by Him to one of the cities that He wanted to visit.
Thanks to the lessons of Thaddeus, many, even Prince Avgar and the priests of that time, accepted faith in the Savior - Christian. And one of these believers, canonized later as a martyr, Vassa accepted the heavy torment of torturing her children and herself for the sake of faith, but did not renounce it, which earned a deep and sincere worship of like-minded people.
This day marks the beginning of traditional flax harvesting. According to legend, people met flax on this day, which had a beautiful fair-haired and blue-eyed appearance of a friendly girl, filled with kindness and love for people working in the fields.
What else are we celebrating
We will go on a short excursion of the very recent past, when all the countries of the current CIS were one powerful Union, and all the holidays were common to all. Such a holiday was the day legalized by the USSR Government - the first Sunday of September. And this 2017, this Sunday falls on the 3rd.
On this day, numerous workers in the oil and gas industry of all CIS countries will be happy to celebrate their labor and possibly heroic achievements, receive awards, sing and dance, attracting a lot of friends and relatives to the celebration. The peoples of the CIS countries can really be proud of the labor achievements of their citizens, because thanks to them, everyone lives in warmth, drives cars that are fueled, wear clothes and shoes, all this is possible thanks to the processing of petroleum products. Indeed, it is now even difficult to imagine in our material environment that oil and gas could not be used.
Therefore, we congratulate with gratitude to all those who work in this industry, often risking their lives and health. After all, oil and gas production is very often fraught with danger; each employee lives on hard working days away from home warmth and comfort.
