Today, Ukraine celebrates one of the most important and fundamental state holidays. This is a day when we remember the foundations of our statehood, the rights and freedoms for which Ukrainians continue to fight, writes UNN.
Constitution Day of Ukraine
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the adoption of the Fundamental Law of our state. On the night of June 28, 1996, after almost a day of continuous debate (known as the "constitutional night"), the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Constitution of Ukraine.
This document enshrined the legal foundations of independent Ukraine, its sovereignty, territorial integrity, as well as human rights and freedoms as the highest value.
In the conditions of modern war, this holiday takes on a special, living meaning, because every day Ukrainians defend on the battlefield exactly what is written in our Constitution: the right to be a free nation in its independent state.

Tau Day
An interesting mathematical holiday. If on March 14 (3.14) mathematicians celebrate Pi Day, then June 28 (6.28) is dedicated to the number Tau, which equals 2π. Some scientists believe that using Tau instead of Pi significantly simplifies many mathematical and physical formulas (since it denotes the ratio of the circumference to its radius, not the diameter).
International Body Piercing Day
It is celebrated on the birthday of Jim Ward - an American who opened the world's first professional piercing salon in 1978 and made a huge contribution to the development of this industry.
Carousel Day
A light and nostalgic holiday dedicated to one of the oldest and most beloved amusement park rides, which still brings joy to children around the world.
Sunday of Peter's Fast (Petrivka)
Since today is Sunday, for believers who observe the fast, a significant relaxation is provided. It is allowed to eat dishes with fish and seafood, hot food with vegetable oil, and a little wine.
Translation of the relics of the holy unmercenaries Cyrus and John
According to the new (New Julian) calendar, which the OCU and UGCC have adopted, today the memory of Saints Cyrus and John, who lived in the 3rd–4th centuries, is honored. They were doctors who healed the sick for free (for which they were called "unmercenaries"), combining medical help with the preaching of Christianity, and later suffered martyrdom.
