HOLIDAYS EVERY DAY:
WHAT TO CELEBRATE FROM 1 to 10 OF JANUARY?
The long-awaited new year holidays has officially begun! Ahead of us are 10 days of rest. If you still haven't figured out what to do on these days-off, I can give you a hint: celebrate! Fortunately, almost every day is a holiday!WHAT TO CELEBRATE FROM 1 to 10 OF JANUARY?
January 6 and January 7 is the Сhristmas Eve!
Evening and night on the eve of Orthodox Christmas is not only a time when people were preparing to celebrate one of the major Christian holidays, but also a time of unrestrained folk fun: caroling, mummers, games, songs, of course, divination.
January 8 is the "indian" porridge!
Indian porridge (Indian day) is a Slavic holiday, in which it is customary to worship midwives and childbirth. We can say that it is an ancient analogue of the world day of the midwife (there is such a holiday and it is celebrated on may 5) — an excellent opportunity once again to congratulate your friends of an important and necessary profession!
January 9 is the Stephanov day!
If you are afraid of the evil eye, Stefanov day — your day. At this time in Russia everyone could protect themselves from evil spirits. One of the most common ratelow was as follows: in all corners of the yard the villagers drove the aspen stake was believed that it is the most reliable protection from witches and other evil spirits.January 10 is Voodoo day in Benin!
Fans of the more exotic esotericism will surely like a holiday celebrated by the inhabitants of Benin. January 10 represents a traditional African mystical cult, communion with spirits, sacrifices and performing ceremonies of purification from sins. Of course, in any case, I do not encourage you to make ritual dolls on the last day of the Christmas holidays. But if, for some reason, you suddenly want to celebrate this holiday, you can tickle your nerves, having watched "angel Heart" with a young, beautiful Mickey Rourke or the third season of "American horror story". In the latter, among other things, has a storyline devoted to the most famous in the history of witch Voodoo Marie Laveau performed by unsurpassed Angela Bassett.
