Today, on March 13, all jewelry lovers can join the celebration of the Jewelry Day, UNN writes.
The event was launched in the United States and quickly became popular in many countries around the world.
The earliest known jewelry was created not even by representatives of the Homo sapiens species, but by Neanderthals who lived in Europe. In particular, that is why perforated beads made of small sea shells, which, according to scientists, were produced 115 thousand years ago, were found in Cueva de los Aviones, a cave on the southeastern coast of Spain.
Today, jewelers offer a wide range of jewelry to salon visitors, including the opportunity to purchase custom jewelry.
On Jewelry Day, people not only give jewelry, but also honor jewelry makers. Their work is filigree and creative, so creating jewelry is a process that deserves respect.
Today you can also join the International Day of Victory for Every Girl.
The purpose of today's event is to raise awareness of the challenges and inequalities that many girls face, and to recognize their incredible potential and resilience. The day encourages people to take action to support girls and young women in their communities, and to advance gender equality and women's rights globally.
Today, lovers of good wine can take part in events to mark the International Riesling White Wine Day.
Riesling is a grape variety that is known for its ability to express the terroir of the region in which it is grown, which means that Riesling wines from different regions can have distinctive and unique flavors. The wine is also characterized by high acidity, which gives it a bright and refreshing taste that goes well with a variety of dishes.
The date of the celebration was chosen in honor of the first written mention of this grape variety. An invoice for six Riesling vines planted in the vineyard of a local winery, dated March 13, 1435, was found in an old house in Rüsselsheim.
Today is also the Day of Ken, the companion of the Barbie doll.
The Ken doll was first introduced to the general public at a toy fair in the United States on March 13, 1961.
As Barbie's boyfriend, Ken has been a constant figure in her life, personifying the ideal partner who is always there for her. Ken's image has evolved along with Barbie, from a 50s housewife's companion to a partner of a savvy, self-sufficient businesswoman.
Today is also the Day of Fur Headphones. It was on March 13, 1887, that American Chester Greenwood received a patent for his invention.
Chester came up with the idea for warm headphones when he was just 15 years old. The boy was walking home from the skating rink and covered his ears with his hands because of the cold wind. At home, Chester drew a sketch and sewed himself some warm headphones, which turned out to be very comfortable while skating.
On March 13, certified dietitians and nutritionists - healthcare professionals who have completed a rigorous program of education and training in nutrition and dietetics - celebrate their professional holiday. They provide scientifically based nutritional advice and play an important role in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
Back on March 13, many countries around the world held various events to mark World Endometriosis Awareness Day, a gynecological disease characterized by the movement of uterine tissue (endometrium) to other organs, thus causing inflammation. The disease is the main cause of infertility.
According to statistics, about 176 million women worldwide suffer from endometriosis.
According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of the Transfer of the Relics of St. Nikephoros, Patriarch of Constantinople.
Nikephoros was a preacher and theologian who was a strong opponent of the iconoclasts. For this, by order of the emperor, Nikephoros was sent into exile to the island of Prokkonis, where he died. Later, his incorrupt relics were found and transferred to Constantinople.
Name days on March 13 are celebrated by Nikifor, Alexander, Nikolai, and Christina.
