Other important holidays

Holidays of the Slavs

This folk wisdom was given by our ancestors

Slavism- this is the veneration of the Family, ancestors, and the creation of family ancestral life, according to ancient Slavic customs.
Traditions of the Russian people- this is the invaluable experience of countless generations of our ancestors. And no matter how many eras pass, no matter how many times they wander in the darkness of foreign traditions, Russian people always return to their native tradition.
Our calendar - or, more correctly, Kolyady Dar- served our ancestors for thousands of years, helping them cultivate the land and harvest on time. The year, divided into twelve parts, was depicted on ritual bowls, and each month had a special sign.
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 everyday life, it is always decorated with cheerful holidays.

Traditional Slavic holidays

Traditional Slavic holidays connected with nature and the events occurring in it, they contain and conceal a deep sacred essence and meaning. Almost all holidays among the Slavs coincide with the cycle of life of the Earth, and therefore have not only a spiritual meaning, but also another - familiarization with Nature, bringing into one’s life the feeling that the Earth is living matter. The rituals that our great ancestors once performed in ancient times 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, in a continuous circle [circle], in the form of which the ancient Slavs represented our Universe.

Names of 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.
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 especially 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].

Calculation of the Slavs

Calendar reform of Peter I

It is no secret that the widespread use of the Russian calendar ceased by order of Peter I. The Tsar, raised by foreigners, introduced a new foreign calendar on the territory of Rus' and ordered to celebrate the advent of 1700 from the Nativity of Christ on the night of January 1st. While in Rus' it was the summer of 7208. The chronological innovation was a nod to the West by Peter I and the theft of five and a half thousand years of history from the Slavic-Aryan culture.

From July 11 to October 31, a unique multimedia exhibition “Miracles of Russia” will be held in the building of the Historical Museum. Viewers will see about a hundred natural and architectural objects that were included in the final list, compiled based on the results of a popular vote.

Along with the well-known “pearls” - Lake Baikal, the palace and park ensemble in Peterhof, Mount Elbrus - the exhibition also presents unique places less known to the general public.

ъRussia is an extraordinary country, with an amazing history, culture and a vast territory containing countless unique natural and man-made monuments. However, sometimes the sights of exotic resorts or monuments of European architecture are known to us much better.

The exhibition “Wonders of Russia” is designed to correct this situation and introduce both Russians and foreign guests to the most impressive architectural and natural objects that everyone should see at least once in their life.

The project, aimed at identifying the most beautiful places in Russia, was initiated by the Izvestia newspaper in collaboration with the Mayak radio station and the Rossiya TV channel in 2007.

In 2008, as a result of a popular vote, the “7 Wonders of Russia” were chosen:

Weathering pillars Man-Pupu-ner in the Komi Republic

Elbrus peak in Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria

Lake Baikal in Buryatia

Valley of Geysers on the Kamchatka Peninsula

Mamayev Kurgan, Motherland monument

Monument of palace and park art "Peterhof", St. Petersburg

St. Basil's Cathedral, Moscow

However, the list of wonderful places for which Russians voted was much larger and numbered about a hundred objects - both natural and architectural. For example, it included the mountain range of the Putorana Plateau in Siberia, the Caucasian dolmens, Lake Baskunchak, the Ruskeala marble canyon in Karelia, the Valley of Geysers in Kamchatka, the “Pole of Cold” in Yakutia, the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano, the Tobolsk Kremlin, Ivolgin Datsan in Buryatia, an ancient settlement Arkaim in the Chelyabinsk region and much more.

The multimedia exhibition “Wonders of Russia” will help guests take an unforgettable “tour” through the most interesting and sometimes secluded corners of Russia. Beautiful photographs, rare archival materials, animated images on huge screens and a painstakingly thought-out “route” will provide an immersive effect and create the impression of a real journey.

The exhibition “Wonders of Russia” is timed to coincide with the year of ecology in Russia, so the goal of the organizers was not only to show all the extraordinary natural resources of the country, but also to draw attention to the need to preserve and protect these places.
