National Be Someone Day
A social initiative launched in the United States. Its main goal is to encourage adults to spend time with children (their own or others), become a reliable mentor and support for them, helping them unlock their potential.
National Lamington Day
A culinary holiday in Australia dedicated to the iconic national dessert — a sponge cake covered in chocolate glaze and rolled in coconut flakes.
Day of Remembrance of the Prophet Ezekiel and the Venerables Simeon and John
According to the new (New Julian) calendar, on July 21, the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel, one of the greatest prophets known for his visions, is honored. It was believed among the people that from this day, summer gradually begins to turn toward autumn, and nights become noticeably colder. Also, peasants carefully prepared bins for the new harvest.
For those who follow the old (Julian) calendar: on July 21, the memory of the Great Martyr Procopius of Caesarea is honored. In folk tradition, this day is called "Procopius the Reaper." It was from this time in ancient times that mass harvesting began. Work in the field traditionally started only after a prayer service, and the first sheaves were considered healing.
