September 3, 2005

But on September 3, what holiday was celebrated in Russia since 2005? Anyone who knows about this event will immediately be transferred to that hard and not a holiday, when misfortune occurred.

When in the city of Beslan terrorists were able not only to capture, but also to destroy the lives of about 300 people, 150 of them were children. Who and why did it in peacetime in a peaceful city - now this issue is no longer relevant. Now the task is urgent - to do everything to prevent this from happening again and again. So then what kind of a holiday on September 3 we celebrate the whole country? Yes, we celebrate this day as a Memorial Day, connected with those tragic events.

The official name of this day is the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. Therefore, anti-terrorist actions and movements are being organized all over the world, and they are helping to increase knowledge about how to prevent, how to resist terrorism all over the world. Therefore, the Day of Farewell is still celebrated on September 3. What a feast, we already learned.

The terrorists were still defeated, with large and irrecoverable losses, but still they were destroyed. As in the victory over fascism, we suffered incalculable losses, but still we mark the end of the war with the Victory Day, proclaiming the end to the dark forces and the dawning of the brighter future.

Joyful day of September 3

The Russian Church celebrates this day as the Faddeev 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, took faith in the Savior - the Christian. And one of these believers, canonized later in the martyr, Vassa took the heavy agonies of torture of her children and herself for the sake of faith, but did not renounce her, which she deserved the deep and sincere worship of like-minded people.

This day is marked by the beginning of the traditional harvesting of flax. According to popular belief, people met on this day a linseed that had a beautiful blonde and blue-eyed appearance of a friendly girl, filled with kindness and love for the people working in the fields.

What are we still celebrating

Let's go to a short excursion of a very recent past, when all the countries of the present CIS were one mighty Union, and all the holidays were common for all. This holiday was legalized by the Government of the USSR day - the first Sunday in September. And in this year 2017, this Sunday falls on the third day.

On this day, numerous workers of the oil and gas industry of all CIS countries will happily celebrate their labor and perhaps heroic achievements, receive awards, sing and dance, attracting to the celebration the mass of their friends and relatives. The peoples of the CIS countries can really be proud of the labor achievements of their citizens, because they all live in the heat, drive cars fueled, wear clothes and shoes, all this is possible due to the processing of oil products. In fact now it is even difficult to imagine in our material environment that oil and gas could not be used.

Therefore, we also congratulate all of us who are working in this industry with gratitude, often at the risk of life and health. After all, work on oil and gas production is very often fraught with danger, each employee lives hard work days away from home heat and comfort.

September 3 - what holiday? The end of the war!

On this day, another remarkable holiday is celebrated - Victory Day over militaristic Japan - the end of World War II! In the difficult post-war days after the complete defeat of fascist Germany, Russia continued to hold the onslaught of the Japanese fascists. And from August 9 to September 2, the last spurt was made to Russia's final victory over its enemies. In this offensive, Russia has lost about 36 thousand people. More than 308 thousand soldiers and officers were subsequently awarded with orders and medals, 87 people were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The offensive lasted 25 days, during which the northern parts of China and Korea, as well as the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin were liberated. After that, Japan was forced to admit defeat, and the Soviet Union could mark the final victory over its enemies. The war ended on September 2, but by decree of the Government of the USSR of September 2, 1945 it was determined, on September 3, what holiday in Russia should be celebrated. The date is designated as the Victory Day over Japan. Our people know about this holiday.
