Today, April 13, many Ukrainians celebrate the Christian holiday - the Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem. This date is an important event in the life of Jesus Christ, when he rode on a donkey into the holy city. The inhabitants of Jerusalem greeted Jesus with the cry "Hosanna", and threw palm branches in his path. Ukrainians call this day Palm Sunday. According to tradition, people bring willow branches to the temple and greet each other: "I don't beat - the willow beats, in a week - Easter."

Lovers of intellectual entertainment today can join the celebration of the Day of the game "Erudite", which in many countries is known as Scrabble. The event was founded in honor of the birthday of Alfred Butts, who was born on April 13, 1899.
In 1938, at that time, unemployed architect Butts presented his first version of the game.
According to the man's idea, it was supposed to be a game in which knowledge and chance would have equal weight, so he used the principle of crossword and random selection of letters at the beginning of the game.
In the first version, Butts used only a set of cards with letters - the game did not interest anyone.
Then Butts added a playing field of 225 squares to his development and changed the principle of the game. Now the words had to cross each other, as in a crossword puzzle. In 1948, entrepreneur James Bruno bought the rights to produce the game from the author in exchange for royalties for the sale of each copy.
In 1952, the game became wildly popular in the United States, and later in many countries around the world.
Lovers can celebrate International Kissing Day today. This holiday appeared thanks to a record set by a Thai couple who made the longest kiss in history - 58 hours without a break. They broke their own record in 2016, when they kissed for 46 hours. This amazing feat inspired competitions in many cities around the world, where participants compete for the title of kissing record holder.
An important part of the holiday is a reminder that a kiss can be not only a social formality or a prelude to something more, but also a simple and sincere expression of intimacy, joy, and love. On this day, people celebrate the selfless pleasure of kissing as an act of warm, emotional interaction.

Believers honor the memory of the holy martyr Artemon. He was a man devoted to God, who lived a very long time ago, in the 3rd century, in the city of Laodicea (the territory of modern Turkey). He was a priest and dedicated his whole life to serving the church. He did not just fulfill his duties, but did it with a big heart: he knew the Holy Scriptures well, lived modestly, truthfully and helped others.
His spiritual mentor was Bishop Sisinius - together they held the spiritual front in times when Christians were persecuted. And when terrible persecutions came under Emperor Decius, Artemon did not hide, did not renounce the faith, did not become afraid - although he could have saved his life if he had simply told the pagans what they wanted to hear.
