As well as the day, in which it is honored. The holiday is not enshrined by law, but it does not bother the beer lovers to celebrate him every first August Saturday.

It is known that beer was cooked still in ancient Egypt, as evidenced by the finds of archaeologists. They argue that the first mentions and things necessary for the manufacture of beer are dated to the third century BC. But modern brewing was invented in the thirteenth century and since then, the production of foaming production is almost unchanged - only the equipment and methods of its processing are performed. The first who put the production of beer on the flow are Germans, Icelanders and the British. It is in these countries that it still has the most brewing and beer varieties, which were inherited in the family of each brewer and are now commercial secret producers.

Christmas Nicholas Wonderworker - August 11

An old Orthodox holiday, which was revived in Russia just over a ten years ago on the blessing of Patriarch Alexy II. It is known that Russia is especially honored and the Nicholas of the Wonderworker and his birthday was still one of the leading holidays in Orthodox Russia with almost the time of the spread of Christianity, but under Catherine, the Great was abolished.

A lot of books are written about the life of Nicholas of the Wonderworker and His birth is a miracle. His parents of Nonna and Feofan were pious and zealous Christians who lived in a sacred marriage, but for a long time they had no children. They prayed about the birth of a baby every day and were their prayers heard, in gratitude the parents gave the promise that their child would serve God.

Nikolai created his first miracle during birth, healing it from severe and fatal disease. In the future, leading the righteous life of the minister of the Lord, he has repeatedly taken out of the prisoner and dungets of people, saved in the storm at sea, he underwent illness. An example of his simple life, he showed how to live a true Christian and righteous. And after death, all his few property bequeathed to distribute the poor. He died in a deep old age, giving everything herself to the Lord.

In Russia, it was believed that he especially favored the kings and monarchum, and ordinary people prayed to him when there were no hope for salvation. That is why Christmas Nicholas is applied to the festive days in August 2017 for all believers.

Honey saved - August 14

CO, which is celebrated by this summer, connects several memorable historical events at once. The celebration itself appeared in times when Constantinople was an Orthodox city.

The annals describe several events that have formed the basis of the holiday title - it's about salvation through prayer. The Greek Emperor Manuel before defeating the fight with Sarcins, who constantly attacked his kingdom, ascended the prayer to the icons of Jesus Christ and the Virgin, asking him to send him the salvation from enemies and turn them into flight. It is said that at the end of the prayer, he received a blessing: from icons there was a bright light, which the wolf of the king and sent him wisdom.

Much later, the army freed the lands of Russia from the constant attacks of Bulgarians and before the decisive fight, the commander Andrei Bogolyubsky grunted the hot prayer of Heaven with a request to help him save Rostovchanis from the enemy. His prayer was heard and the fight was won.

Initially, on this holiday, residents of Constantinople visited temples and shredied the water, believing that it would be healing and help to avoid his twir. This tradition appeared due to the fact that in the hot summer period in a large city there was illness and it was necessary to find from them to get rid.

In Russia, the holiday is associated with Vladimir the Great, the Baptist of Russia, since the very sacrament of baptism occurred in the water, the holiday is called "wet savage". And he became "honey" much later, when the gift of God began to consecrate in the church - the new honey, whose pitch began just at this time. And although Savior does not apply to the official weekend in August 2017 in Russia, the tradition to visit the church on this day and the Honey has remained so far.

The birthday of the Russian vest - August 19

Frankly speaking, it is difficult to call the "Russian", since it appeared in the fleet - the trading and military - European countries in the middle of the eighteenth century. But the peculiarity was that the strips of the sailors were called themselves and were multicolored. Since such disgrace was not knitted with the form and military service in the fleet, the vests were forbidden for a long time. But at the beginning of the nineteenth century, the situation has changed when the so-called Dutch form for the Navy has entered the fashion. In principle, the derivative of it we see and now: pants-gluke, a short jacket with a neckline on the neck, in which a good visible shirt - a vest.

With military reform in Russia and the change of the shape of the sailors and was introduced to the vest as part of the mandatory form. Initially white bands were significantly wider than blue, and the colors themselves were chosen because they were on the Andreev flag - the official troop of the navy troops. Over time, the strip has become the same width, but the colors remained unchanged. Also, the tel has long expanded the expanses of its distribution - today in the Russian troops, vests are developed for various types of troops and differ in color stripes.

The date of the holiday was determined precisely by the decree on the introduction of the vests in the official diet from the sailors. The initiative was put forward activists from St. Petersburg. And so far on this holiday in August 2017 in Russia, the weekend is not allocated, but the people's walk and educational events are arranged, which are told about the history of the vests and its transformations over time. In addition, the tel has long become an element of not only real men who glorify it, but also women who made a trendy outfit.

Transformation (apple saved) - August 19

The great event that occurred in the life of Christ became famous for almost two thousand years ago, and the holiday entered the list of twelve most important in the Christian calendar and complements the weekend of August 2017 and the festive days of believers.

As written by Scripture, when Jesus Christ with his students with his Peter, Jacob and John rose to Mount Favor to devote themselves to prayers, the face of the Son of God was transformed, he began to shine a bright light, and his clothes became boiled. The prophets of Moses and Ilya came to him, who told him that he was waiting for him in the future and how his earthly path would end. Jesus listened to them carefully and asked his accompanying not to tell about this event until the prophecy was happening. When the prophets disappeared, the black cloud appeared above the mountain and the voice of God called Jesus his son and punished him in everything.

On this day, the believers will holy fruit - gifts of land, especially apples, plums and pears, because the holiday wears the second name -. There is a belief that mothers who have lost their daughters and daughters who have lost their mother can eat apples only after saving and sanctification.

Day of the State Flag of Russia - August 22

The date of the holiday is defined historically - in 1991, the Tricolor was first raised over the building of the Government of Russia. In fact, the flag of the flag was returned to his rightful place, since it was the three-color staging replaced with a red cloth the Bolsheviks.

The history of the flag itself returns to the times of Peter I, who ordered all the commercial ships to lift only such a flag consisting of their three strips: white, blue and red. They say that he diagnoses the sketch independently and determined the lanes in what queue. But it is not known for sure why these colors were chosen by a great king. Later Nicholas II recognized this flag to be the only state, which issued the corresponding decree.

Today, two hypotheses of the flag of the Russian Federation are put forward. According to the first version, white color symbolizes freedom, blue - tribute to respect and worship the Virgin, which is considered the patroness of Russian lands, and red symbolizes the state. On another theory: white is a sign of nobility, blue - honesty, and red - generosity and courage. All these qualities are inherent in the Russian people.

Today the Flag Day is not officially established day off in August 2017, but a variety of events are confined to this holiday - cars and motorcycle robes, youth shares and flash drives, concerts. Every year it is done in order to emphasize the importance and importance of the state symbol and tell citizens a story of a tie.

Victory Day in Kursk Battle - August 23

The victory in the battle under Kurk was the very turning point in 1943, from which the long way of the Soviet Army began to victory over German-fascist invaders. By decree of the president, the holiday is included in the list of days of the military glory of the Russian Federation, although not allocated as a day off in August 2017.

Today, the holiday is dedicated to all those who participated in one of the most bloody battles of the Second World War. With the efforts of almost a million soldiers and thousands of units of military equipment, enemy troops were dropped far from the front line, several cities were liberated, including Kharkov and Eagle, and a long-awaited strategic advantage was obtained, which played a decisive role in the further fight against the enemy. The Germans lost more than half a million soldiers, thousands of tanks and aircraft - the losses that they did not manage to fill in the future. Thus, thanks to the intelligence data obtained on the eve, the troops were able to prepare an effective defense in advance, to deprive the enemy of the essential part of the weapons and the army, as well as to further proceed to the counteroffensiveness.

This memorable date reminds us of the sacrifice that our people suffered to provide a victory and peaceful future.

Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary - August 28

This holiday was introduced by the church and distinguishes it from others the fact that he is not dedicated to the biblical event, but what is described in the legends of church. It is known that after Jesus was resurrected, his mother - Virgo Maria - spent his days in prayers. Her main request was reuniting with her son. And her prayers were heard.

Archangel Gabriel appeared to her with good news that her path on Earth comes to an end and she was given to the end of three days at the end of all the affairs of the world. Mary wanted to say goodbye to the apostles before his death, but they all carried the Word of God in different ends of the country. But by the day of her waste to the kingdom, the Heavenly Apostles came to the lie of the Virgin. The legend says that Jesus himself came to accompany the soul of the mother to the kingdom of God.

The coffin with the body of God's Mother was buried in one of the caves of Ghefseiman lands. But one of the apostles - Thomas - late and could not say goodbye to her and was deeply saddened by this. So that he said goodbye to her the grave, but the Body of the Virgin was not found there. Since the Virgin Mary has not suffered ordinary earthly death, it is called peace. According to legend, she fell asleep on Earth and woke up in heaven to continue his way there.

Walnut saved - August 29
