On April 19, 2018, the national holiday of Eutychius the Quiet and Erema Proletny is celebrated. On this day the Church remembers Saint Eutyches, Archbishop of Constantinople and martyr Jeremiah.

This day received the names “Quiet” and “Flying Day” for the sign by which the grain yield was judged: “The calmer the weather, the higher the harvest. If the wind is strong, you won’t collect seeds.”

According to legend, Eutychius was born in the village of Divine, Phrygian region. His grandfather was a priest. He raised intkbbee grandson in Christian piety. At the age of 12, Eutyches went to Constantinople to study, but chose the path of a monk for himself. He settled in the Amasia monastery and became a monk.

For his life pleasing to God and full of strict fasts, Eutyches was appointed archimandrite. In 552 he became patriarch. A year later, he was sent to the V Ecumenical Council instead of Metropolitan Amasia, due to the latter’s illness. When Patriarch Menus met Eutyches in Constantinople, he predicted to him that he would become the new archbishop. The Apostle Peter asked for the same thing when he appeared to Emperor Justinian.

At the Meeting, the priests of the Orthodox Church anathematized new false teachings. One of them claimed that the body of Jesus Christ was incorrupt even before the Resurrection. The blessed king Justinian succumbed to this heresy. After her condemnation by Bishop Eutyches, the governor brought down anger on him and expelled him from Constantinople.

Eutyches spent 12 years in exile in the Amasia monastery. There God gave him the gift of healing and prophecy. During this time, he performed many miracles and predicted the names of the emperor's successors. In 577 Eutyches returned to Constantinople. He was restored to the rank of archbishop. But he did not remain in office for long. In 582, Saint Eutyches passed away into another world.

Little is known about the martyr Jeremiah of Rome. There is a mention of him by Pope Gregory I. Jeremiah lived in the 3rd century. He suffered martyrdom during the persecution of Christians.

According to signs, if it is a quiet day and a starry night, peas will be born.

Wild ducks settle closer to water bodies - expect a dry summer.

Their dream came true in 2013. Since then, there has been one more event on the Russian professional calendar.

The date of the celebration was timed to coincide with the beginning of work on the first printed book in Rus' - "The Apostle", on the creation of which two book printers worked for a year - from April 19, 1563 to March 1, 1564.

Snowdrop Day

The very first, most delicate and snow-white snowdrop breaks through the soil barely warmed by the spring sun. Galanthus snow-white is the scientific name of this flower. With the “sunrise” of snowdrops, you can’t help but feel the final arrival of spring, and it doesn’t matter that it’s still frosty outside, the main thing is that their blossoming brings with it a wonderful mood and symbolizes hope. It is not without reason that the snowdrop is the hero of various fairy tales (remember “The Twelve Months”) and legends.

For example, one of the legends says: when God expelled Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, it was snowing heavily, however, taking pity on Eve, who cried from the cold, the Lord turned the snowflakes into flowers. Seeing the snowdrops, the girl immediately became cheerful and gained hope for the best. This is where the belief spread that the snowdrop is a symbol of hope.

There is a second legend according to which the goddess Flora, while decorating flowers for a merry carnival, invited the snowdrop to wear a white robe. There was no costume required for snow, but he wanted to participate in the event so much that he asked the flowers for help. Many were frightened by the cold and ran away, and only the snowdrop, unafraid, extended a helping hand to the snow and covered it with its snow-white robe. Since then, snowdrops and snow have been inseparable. According to Russian legend, one day the old woman Winter, together with the travelers Wind and Cold, blocked the path of Spring and ordered the flowers not to protrude from the ground. Many were afraid of the threats of Winter, except the snowdrop. He disobeyed the ruler and made his way through the frozen soil. And when the Sun saw it, it warmed the earth and opened the way for Spring.

Every year on April 19, many countries celebrate Snowdrop Day. This holiday was born in England in 1984. It symbolizes the arrival of sunny days, as well as the imminent onset of summer. Indeed, after you see these flowers in the clearing, spring flares up in your heart, and nothing can evict it from there, not even a temporary return of cold weather. Many people love snowdrops; the British are especially fond of it, planting it in private plots and city flower beds along with other domesticated flowers. The French and Germans call snowdrops bells, because that is what they are shaped like.

Unfortunately, today, these flowers are becoming victims of human “love” and in the wild every year there are fewer and fewer of them. The life of a picked snowdrop is very short. It is important to always remember this and strive to protect snowdrops from extinction.

April 19 in the folk calendar

Erema Proletny and Eutychius Quiet

On April 19, the Christian world honors the memory of two saints - Archbishop Eutychius of Constantinople (lived in the sixth century) and the Great Martyr Jeremiah, who laid down his life for the faith in the third century.

Based on the weather of that day, people judged the future grain harvest. The lack of wind was a good omen. As the peasants said: “If Eutychius is quiet today, this means a good harvest of grain, and if the wind catches up with Erem, then the ears of corn will be knocked down.” In addition, wise people noticed that the apple tree usually begins to bloom on Eutychius and Eremu. In Russian folklore, this tree has always been considered a symbol of grace, innocence and pristine beauty. Today the housewives worshiped the apple tree, cleaned and propped up its branches, and whitened the trunk from the onslaught of harmful insects. And in the evening it was customary to serve baked apples to the table, if, of course, they had been preserved until spring.

Historical events of April 19

April 19, 1563– The Moscow printing house of pioneer printers Pyotr Mstislavets and Ivan Fedorov began its work

In 1564, the first Russian printed book called “Apostle” came into use. Pyotr Mstislavets and Ivan Fedorov took a direct part in its creation, thanks to which they went down in history as the first printers. Historians have proven that work on “The Apostle” took about a year. Many believe that it began on April 19, 1563. And it took so long to print the book is explained quite simply - by the primitiveness of the first equipment. “The Apostle,” after it was published, began to be actively used for training the clergy. The first printed book became a valuable model for subsequent editions. Researchers have clearly established that work on the book was carried out in an independent printing house.

This date is the birthday of the legendary Spartak club, which has won the love and approval of millions of Russian fans. The Spartak sports society has repeatedly won various championships in some types of sports (football, water polo, hockey, chess, baseball, dance sports, etc.). By the way, the name “Spartak” was invented by one of its founders, N.P. Starostin.

April 19, 1943– Beginning of the armed uprising of Warsaw ghetto prisoners against the Nazis

The armed uprising of Warsaw ghetto prisoners, which began in 1943, had the widest scope and was considered the most desperate. Four years before it began, fascist troops entered Warsaw, where about 400,000 Jews lived at that time. The Germans carried out massive anti-Jewish measures, including forced labor, branding of Jewish homes, shops and clothes, as well as confiscation of property and more. In 1940, the Germans allocated a part of Warsaw as a Jewish ghetto, in which all the Jews of the city and the surrounding area were imprisoned. Within two years, about half of the slaves died from hunger and disease. And in the spring of 1943, an armed uprising broke out in the ghetto. The Nazis suffered huge losses. For almost a month, the prisoners fought for their own freedom, but ultimately the resistance was crushed. Those who survived were taken out and destroyed.

Born on April 19

Alexander Ptushko(1900-1973) – Soviet film director and storyteller. Before coming to cinema, Ptushko managed to prove himself in the fields of journalism and art (he was a set designer). Soon he became interested in creating puppet images, and a year later he made his debut as a director of a new series of animated films. His first work, and a very successful one, was the full-length “The New Gulliver”. In this film, along with his dolls, live actors also played. In addition to “Gulliver,” Ptushko shot a number of films, such as “A Guy from Our Town,” “Zoya,” “Sadko,” “The Scarlet Flower,” “Ilya Muromets,” “Ruslan and Lyudmila” and many others.

Georgy Markov(1911-1991) – Soviet writer. Author of the novels “The Salt of the Earth”, “The Strogoffs”, “Siberia”, etc. Many of his works were subsequently filmed. Despite the fact that Markov was an influential literary functionary, twice awarded the “Hero of Socialist Labor,” he was known as a simple man and always remained a true patriot of his homeland.

Signs April 19 - the day of Eutychius the Quiet, Eremy Proletny

Usually, it was by the weather on this day that they judged what the harvest of spring crops, vegetables, clover, and bread would be like.

Usually, by this time, apple trees began to bloom everywhere in gardens, and they were usually associated with girlish beauty and innocence. Often a wedding song in which the symbol of an apple tree was present was associated with the bride. Girls sometimes wondered about their betrothed, followed the signs, many of them were preparing a dowry and preparing for the wedding.

In the Orthodox Church, on April 19, they celebrate the day of Saint Eutyches, who performed many healings and miracles during his lifetime. For example, one day a woman who kept having stillborn children turned to him for help.

It was Eutyches who helped her give birth to two healthy sons. After this, two deaf-mute young men turned to the elder, whom Eutyches was able to heal. They said that he once even saved a talented artist from cancer.

He was also capable of fighting mental illness - they brought crazy people to Eutyches, and he cast out demons from them. He did not shy away from helping drunkards and the homeless; people, thanks to Eutyches, were cleansed of leprosy and got rid of alcoholism and other vices.

Therefore, it is not surprising that they often prayed to Saint Eutyches on April 19, asking for health for family and friends. They often went to church for this.

Almost every day on the calendar is marked with some kind of holiday. !April 9 there are several of them at once. One international - Snowdrop Day. The British are considered the founders, but they celebrate it in many countries around the world. Two exclusively Russian holidays: Day of Russian Printing, the entire industry associated with the production and release of any printed products. And the Day of the Russian Scrap Processing Industry Worker. This day is not marked anywhere, but the scrap metal recycling workers themselves chose April 19 for themselves.

What holiday is celebrated today on April 19: Snowdrop Day and its history

Back in 1984, this holiday was established in Great Britain. Our planet is so large that it has different climate zones. Because of this, the seasons do not occur at the same time. So snowdrops in different countries bloom from January to April.

This delicate flower has long been considered a symbol of hope. It's spring and warm in England, and at the same time snowdrops appear these days. Therefore, we decided to celebrate April 19th. Nowadays, the holiday of the first spring flowers has become extremely popular, and snowdrops themselves evoke delight and awe in the British.

In the territory of the united kingdom, the primrose is a talisman against evil spirits. It is customary to plant it around the house. Throughout Europe, snowdrops symbolize the victory of heat over cold, as they are the first to survive in the ground that has not yet warmed up. They give hope that everything will be fine. They can often be seen in city flower beds and garden plots.

Popular love has led to a catastrophic decline in the number of flowers. Man barbarously destroys everything he likes. Many species of spring primrose are listed in the Red Book, which means that they are only allowed to be admired, but not collected.

What holiday is celebrated today on April 19: Russian Printing Day

It is a well-known fact that the first book in Rus' was “Apostle” by Ivan Fedorov, published in 1564. This was the reason for creating the holiday of Orthodox Book Day, which is celebrated on March 14th. But in 1563 the first publisher began to write this book. This event formed the basis of April 19 - Russian Printing Day.

The holiday is relatively new. It was officially issued in 2013, on the initiative of printers. Progress and the advent of computers have made adjustments to the process of producing printed materials, expanding their capabilities. A professional holiday applies to everyone involved in this field. These are not only those who work on printing equipment, but also editors, designers, engineers and managers. Everyone involved in the complex printing mechanism.

It is interesting that even in the age of the Internet, printed publications do not lose their relevance and are still in demand and popular. It's like magic to pick up a book and read it page by page. Newspapers, magazines, and crossword puzzles, which abound in kiosk windows, have even more fans. And all this is the merit of the same printers. They bring bright colors and emotions into the life of every person.

What holiday is celebrated today on April 19: Russian Scrap Processing Industry Worker's Day

The choice of the date of the holiday is connected with the events of 1922, when 5 organizations were united into one common one - “Metalltorg”. This structure dealt with any issues related to the collection and sale of metal waste. This is how the idea of recycling and recycling metal waste appeared.

The Soviet Union, with its planning system, had a qualitative impact on the development of the industry. At that time, the delivery of scrap metal was a mandatory requirement for all manufacturing enterprises. But after the collapse of the USSR, the industry was in little demand. Processing enterprises were closed, and no one created laws that could regulate this issue.

Many experts are convinced that the industry will gradually take shape, but for now only large metallurgical plants can afford to have their own scrap procurement facilities. Today, their representative offices operate in different cities of Russia.

April 19, 2018 - Thursday, day 109 of 2018 according to the Gregorian calendar. April 19 corresponds to April 6 of the Julian calendar (old style).

Holidays April 19, 2018 in Russia

Eutychiy Quiet and Erema Proletny. The folk holiday “Eutychius the Quiet and Erema Proletny” is celebrated on April 19 (according to the old style - April 6). On this day, believers of the Orthodox Church honor the memory of Saint Eutyches, Archbishop of Constantinople and martyr Jeremiah of Rome. Other names of the holiday: “Day of Eutyches”, “Eutyches”, “Erema”, “Day of Eutyches and Eremas”. The names “Quiet” and “Flying Day” were given due to a sign by which the grain yield was judged. It says: “The calmer the weather, the higher the harvest. If the wind is strong, you won’t be able to collect seeds.” Eutykhios was born in the village of Divine Phrygian region. He was brought up in Christian piety. At the age of 12 he went to Constantinople to study, but chose the path of a monk. He settled in the Amasia monastery and became a monk. For his life pleasing to God and full of strict fasts, Eutyches was appointed archimandrite. In 552 he became patriarch. During the struggle against dissent for condemning heresy, he was expelled from Constantinople to the Amasia monastery, where he spent 12 years. Little is known about the martyr Jeremiah. There is a mention of him by Pope Gregory the First. Jeremiah lived in the third century. He suffered martyrdom during the persecution of Christians. By April 19, apple trees usually bloom and silver birch flowers appear. In Russian folklore, the apple tree has always been a symbol of girlish beauty and innocence, which is why in wedding songs the bride is often compared to a tree in bloom. On this day, it was necessary to respect the apple tree - to bow to it, support the branches so that they could withstand the future harvest, paint the trunk to protect it from harmful insects. It was not a sin to eat pickled apples, if, of course, they survived until spring. They also baked pies with apple filling. In the villages, girls dreaming of getting married this year believed that the one who was the first to see an apple tree flower and bring it to the threshold of the church would receive the highest blessing to marry for love, and everyone else would be matched. On Eutychius they usually wished for the pea harvest. If the day was calm and windless, then the harvest promised to be rich. Peas have been known in Rus' since time immemorial. This is where the proverb came from: “It was during the reign of Tsar Gorokh,” that is, a very long time ago. Peas were revered as a symbol of fertility, health and longevity. In one of the fairy tales, the queen swallows a pea, as a result of which she gives birth to a son-hero - Pokatygoroshek. Therefore, wishing the young couple to have as many children as possible, at village weddings the bride and groom were often whipped with pea whips. Peas were actively used in folk medicine: they were mainly used to treat skin diseases. To rid a person of warts, lichens, calluses and erysipelas, the healer, reading a special spell, touched the affected areas of the skin with a pea. Then such a pea was thrown into an oven or into a well, getting rid of the disease forever. Our ancestors knew many dishes made from peas: they ate them broken, strained, grated, spun (fried), Chadian (smoked). They made soup and jelly from peas, and baked pies with pea filling. They even made cheese from peas. To do this, the peas were crushed, beaten for a long time, dried and oil was added to them.

Castro. Of the 1,350 invaders who landed on the shores of the Bay of Cochinos, 1,173 were captured, the rest were destroyed.

The armed struggle was first led by Francisco de Miranda, and when he was captured by Spanish authorities in 1812, he was succeeded by Simon Bolivar.

If Eutychius gets angry and blows the wind, woe to the peasant: he will knock off his ear.
On Eutyches the day is quiet - for the grain harvest.
February will be littered with snow, April will be washed away with water.
