Student's Day in Bulgaria

On December 8, Bulgarian students celebrate their "professional" holiday. This date is inextricably linked with the Sofia University named after Kliment Ohridski. In Bulgaria, this university was the only academic educational institution at the beginning of the twentieth century, therefore the academic council of this university dared to declare the day of December 8, the day of the university. The celebration of this day coincided with the day of the righteous Clement of Ohrid, who was one of the followers of Cyril and Methodius who survived in Bulgaria. He organized an educational and cultural school at the monastery, in Ohrid, where the entire Bulgarian elite was brought up. Clement transformed the verb words of Cyril and Methodius, and became a steady follower of his teachers. He brought the graphic design of the letters as close as possible to the Greek. It was Clement of Ohridsky who very quickly translated all the religious and liturgical books of the city into the Old Slavonic language, and sent them all over the country. When World War II ended, this holiday was postponed to the seventeenth of November, but in 1962, in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Sofia University, the holiday was celebrated with an old and dear date. Since then, all students of higher educational institutions in Bulgaria celebrate their favorite holiday with pleasure.

Feast of the goddess Ischel

Ishchel was an ancient Mayan goddess, she was considered the patroness of the rainbow and the light of the moon. The goddess helped women to safely give birth to a child, took care of doctors and weavers. There was a belief that if this goddess was greatly angered, she would send a hurricane or flood. Sculptors and artists of that time portrayed this goddess as a very beautiful girl, a rabbit was sitting on her lap, and, oddly enough, a snake was depicted on her head. People were very afraid of Ischel's anger, so they tried in every possible way to appease her. Maya offered to the goddess as a sacrifice of young beauties. People came to the temple of the goddess and prayed for healing from diseases. The feast of the goddess Ischel is still celebrated in southern Mexico. On December 8, the priests perform the corresponding rituals, and various solemn processions stretch through the streets. The ancient Maya called the goddess Ischel Lady of bloody spots, Lady of the night, Lady of extraordinary darkness.

Celebration of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary

The veneration of the day of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is very popular in Catholicism; this day is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is one of the main holidays. In the ancient church tradition, nothing was said about the sinless conception of Mary by her mother Anna. The famous version of the Immaculate Conception was officially enshrined in dogma by Pope Pius IX on December 8, 1854, without taking into account the fact that in 1476 the Feast of the Immaculate Conception was established by Pope Sixtus IV. According to the Catholic doctrine, Mary was the only one of all people who was freed from original sin and at the same time protected from the very possibility of sinning. The Orthodox Church supports the Catholic Church in this and also says that Mary did not commit a single sin in her life. However, he claims that the reason for this was because Mary had moral purity, intelligence and willpower. In turn, the Catholic Church says that the vocation not to sin was laid with Mary at conception. On this holiday, solemn services are held in churches.

Constitution Day of Uzbekistan

The Constitution of Uzbekistan was adopted at the 11th session of the Supreme Council of Uzbekistan. On the same day, the basic law of the country was signed by the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov. The new Constitution of Uzbekistan has passed a detailed review by the specialists of the United Nations Organization. All provisions of the basic law have been reviewed by US state legal institutions. Many specialists from European countries also closely studied and approved the basic law of the young state.

December 8 in the folk calendar

Klim cold

This day was named Klim Kholodny, because real frosts usually began from that day. According to tradition, all mothers on this day turned to Klim with prayers and asked him to protect their children from future frosts. People believed that frost from November to March was gaining insane strength, and even the sun, not to mention a person, was shy before these frosts. However, the harsh spirit does not like those who complain about the cold, he severely punishes them various diseases... And those people who were cheerful and cheerful on a frosty day were rewarded by the frost with good health and a bright blush on their cheeks. We all know the fairy tale "Frost", remember how a stern old man punished a wayward and capricious girl, and endowed an unpretentious stepdaughter with expensive gifts. The peasants said that the evil spirits of the cod were the servants of the frost. These spirits slept in the summer, and with the first cold snap they wake up and fall to the ground with the first snow. When winter comes, these spirits run through the fields and blow into their fists, then people feel the cold north wind. People believed that codfish knocked with their bare heels on the frozen ground and on the trunks of trees, which is where the expression "crackling frosts" came from. In honor of the harsh winter spirit, idols were erected in the villages, now we call them snowmen, children and adults love to sculpt them. On this holiday, any important business could be started strictly on an empty stomach. The women and girls sat down to spin yarn closer to the windows, outside the windows lay white snow, and in the parlor it became brighter.

Historical events on December 8

1991 year the USSR was "buried" in Belovezhskaya Pushcha

The agreement on the creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States was signed in Viskuli, near Brest. Leaders of the three former Soviet republics; Boris Yeltsin, Leonid Kravchuk and Stanislav Shushkevich, with their decisions not only formed the CIS, they destroyed the great superpower - the USSR. The persons involved in the treaty recognized that the USSR, as a subject of international law, had completely exhausted itself, the government of the country and the president of the Soviet Union were absolutely discredited both in the eyes of their people and in the eyes of the international community. In view of all this, such a state cannot exist as an object of geopolitical reality. The reason for the creation of the CIS was the close historical and cultural ties of the peoples of the post-Soviet space and the desire to continue peaceful and democratic coexistence. However, the former union republics called not the interference of the members of the community in each other's affairs, mutual respect and recognition of the sovereignty of the members of the union as a condition of their entry into the new formation. Despite loud slogans and good intentions, the CIS does not look like any kind of union, it even went beyond the framework of confederal relations and is currently a formal interstate union.

1980 year the murder of John Lennon

The famous musician died at the hands of a mentally ill fan. The killer fired several direct shots in the back of John. The doorkeeper immediately called the ambulance and the police, and the singer was urgently taken to one of the nearby clinics. However, all the efforts of the doctors were in vain, at 23:15 John Lennon died. The reason for such a rapid death was the great loss of blood. Lennon was cremated, and his ashes were given to his wife Yoko Ono. Killer M. Chapman was sentenced to life in a maximum security prison. Champen has been in prison for more than thirty years, during the entire period of imprisonment, the convict has repeatedly submitted and is still submitting petitions for early release. But the judicial authorities of the state and the United States constantly deny him this. Lennon's wife has officially applied to the Parole Department, asking not to pardon Mark Chapman, and it seems that this will never happen.

1987 year USA and USSR agreed to reduce the contingent of medium and short-range missiles

On this day in Washington, the leaders of the two superpowers, M.S. Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan, signed an agreement to eliminate intermediate and short-range missiles. The treaty has been gaining strength since June 1, 1988, according to it, it was planned to destroy up to three thousand missiles from both sides, with a range of 1,000 to 6,000 thousand kilometers and from 500 to 1,000 km. The agreement provided for the destruction of land-based and sea-based launchers and missiles within three years. This is the first time such an agreement between the two superpowers has been ratified. The main goal of the agreement was partial nuclear disarmament of the two nuclear states. It was also supposed to create special inspection commissions that would control the process of the destruction of nuclear weapons. Both Reagan and Gorbachev attached particular importance to the treaty, in connection with which the heads of the two states addressed their peoples with special televised addresses. Both Presidents dreamed of complete nuclear disarmament, but could not accomplish this, due to various political and legal reasons.

1992 year creation of the federal treasury of Russia

The treasury of the Russian Federation is undoubtedly a particularly important federal authority. The main function of the treasury is the technical and legislative execution of the state budget.

In addition, the strictest control of the distribution of budgetary funds at the federal and regional levels is carried out. The entire life of the state depends on the well-coordinated and well-organized work of the treasury, from financing kindergartens to the implementation of space programs. The state service was established by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin. And on August 27, 1992, the government of the country by its decree streamlined and regulated the activities of the new civil service. Currently, the bulk of government agencies are funded through the RF Treasury.

1941 year Japanese invasion of Thailand (08.12.)

To implement plans to invade Thailand, Japan was forced to spend a huge preparatory work... After all, Thailand recently emerged victorious from the Franco-Thai conflict, and this greatly alerted the Japanese militarists. If the Thai army is capable of withstanding European forces, then the Asian army can be dealt with without much difficulty. The Japanese leadership concentrated all its forces on conducting the most informative reconnaissance in Thai territory. And only after that the Japanese began to pull military units to the borders of Thailand. The invasion began on December 8, in eastern and central Thailand. To the surprise of the Japanese, the Thais did not put up any resistance, only in the south of Thailand, the Japanese troops received a powerful rebuff. Despite the fact that the Thais did not provide a full-fledged rebuff, the Japanese nevertheless carried out their military operation with caution and did not even dare to enter the capital of Thailand, but nervously awaited the start of peace negotiations. By forcing Thailand to agree to a humiliating truce, Japan was able to convince the Thai government of the benefits of a military alliance between Japan and Thailand. On January 25, 1942, Thailand declared war on Britain and the United States, in alliance with Japan.

What holiday is today?

It is known that the Day of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is quite actively celebrated in Catholic churches. Indeed, this is one of the most important holidays dedicated to the Mother of God. And he tells how Anna conceived Mary in an immaculate way. Moreover, it is interesting that this version appeared only in 1954 on December 8 through the adoption of the dogma by Pope Pius IX, despite the fact that the holiday was introduced back in 1476.

In Catholicism, the teaching is widespread that Mary was the only person who, while still in her mother's womb, was freed from original sin, and was also protected from the possibility of committing sinful acts. By the way, the Orthodox Church also teaches that Mary lived an absolutely sinless life, however, she sees the reason not so much in God's help as in the fact that since childhood Mary was distinguished by willpower, moral purity and wisdom, and the ability not to commit sinful acts was laid in it even at the stage of conception.

In churches on December 8, services dedicated to the memory of the Mother of God are necessarily held, where believers come to pray.

In southern Mexico, on December 8, they celebrate a holiday dedicated to an ancient goddess named Isçchel, whose image was present in the Mayan religious beliefs. Even today, despite the centuries-old history of the holiday, it is celebrated traditionally: boats float along rivers and water bodies, songs are sung, in which a request to the goddess to bless ships and fields sounds.

It should be said that Ishchel is the patroness of the surrounding darkness. She had many names. So, for example, the Maya called her the Lady of the Night, the Lady of the bloody spots, the All-Encompassing Lady. The cult of the goddess first spread throughout Mexico (it was especially popular in its southern part), and then moved to the Yucatan Peninsula, after which they learned about Ishchel in El Salvador.

It must be said that the most important role in the formation the Russian state in recent centuries, the treasury played at the end of the twentieth century - in the 90s, when it was necessary to ensure the transparency of budget expenditures and all government operations. Naturally, the treasury retains its relevance today, which is not surprising, because the efficiency of the state financial system directly depends on the development of this structure. Today, the Federal Treasury Department shows all the advantages of the treasury system in budget execution. On December 8, Treasury employees accept congratulations, participate in corporate events and even receive straight and diplomas at special events dedicated to the best workers.

On December 8, 1542, the Scottish Queen Mary Stuart was born, who initiated the uprising of the royal nobility, fled to England, where she was imprisoned, convicted and executed

The treasury system ensures the transparency of budget expenditures, which was extremely important in the turbulent 90s of the last century and has not lost its relevance today. The development of the treasury largely determines the efficiency of the financial system, both of the entire country and of a separate territory.

Currently, the Federal Treasury Department demonstrates all the advantages of the treasury system of budget execution.

Folk holidays 8 December 2017

• Klim Cold.The folk holiday "Klim Kholodny" is celebrated on December 8 (according to the old style - November 25). In the church calendar, this is the day of remembrance of the holy martyr Clement, Pope of Rome, disciple of the Apostle Peter. In Orthodoxy, he is revered as one of the first Christian preachers in the Russian lands (according to legend, he was exiled from Rome to the area of \u200b\u200bmodern Sevastopol). Other names of the holiday: "Clement's Day", "Clement's Day", "Klim", "Klim the Frostbite". In the yard there were already real frosts, which is why Klim was called cold. On this day, mothers turned to the saint with a request to protect their children from the coming cold weather. There is little historical evidence of Clement. According to the Orthodox Life, written later, Clement came from a noble Roman family. Soon after the birth of the boy, his parents and their three sons went by sea to Athens, but were shipwrecked. All five survived but lost each other. Growing up, Clement began to look for an answer to the question of what happens to people after death (because he considered his relatives dead), and so he came to Christianity. After the baptism, the young man managed to find his brothers, father and mother. The people believed that Clement brings with him a harsh winter. “On Klim, winter knocks out a wedge like a wedge," said our ancestors and prepared for severe cold weather. For this day there were several specific sayings: "Frost poured white roses on Clement"; "Clement makes a peasant cry with frost." However, if the roosters began to sing early that day, this foreshadowed an imminent thaw. The peasants believed that the servants of the frost were the evil spirits of the sailors, or codfish. In summer, these spirits sleep, but they wake up with the first cold snap and fall to the ground with the first flakes of snow. With the onset of winter, sailors run through the fields and blow into their fists. Their icy breath is the cold north wind. It was believed that sailors knock with bare heels on the frozen ground and tree trunks. Hence the expression "crackling frosts" came from. On Kliment'ev day, any important business was supposed to start only on an empty stomach. This custom was associated with the continuation of threshing: it was inconvenient to do this work on a full stomach, the movements became heavy, constrained. The women sat on Klim to spin by the window - the white snow in the hut became brighter. A special belief was associated with people who were born on December 8. It was said that wolves gather at the hut who was born on Klim. Therefore, such a person tried once again not to leave the house, especially with the onset of darkness.

Mother's Day celebration was proposed by Herzilia Arias Velazquez, wife of the former President of Panama, Florenzio Arosemena. The holiday was officially established in 1930. But there is another version of the passage of this holiday. According to this version, the celebration of Mother's Day was an initiative of the Rotary Club in Panama. In 1924, the Rotary Club asked for the holiday to fall on May 11, but politicians changed their proposal and moved the date to December 8. The third version of the origin of the holiday says that it has religious roots. The Catholics of Panama wanted to bring the holiday of the Immaculate Conception to the state level, which the laity opposed because of their unwillingness to unite the state and the church into a single whole. They came to a compromise in which Mother's Day became a public holiday and coincides with a religious holiday.
