Today, May 10, is World Migratory Bird Day and World Cactus Day. Also, believers honor the memory of the Holy Apostle Simon the Zealot, writes UNN.
World Migratory Bird Day
This day is celebrated on the second Saturday and second Sunday of May to emphasize the importance of protecting migratory birds and their habitats. This global initiative raises awareness of the problems faced by migratory birds, their importance to ecosystems, and the global cooperation needed to conserve them.
World Cactus Day
This day originates in America. It also has fans among cactus lovers in Europe, especially in America. However, this day is not only an opportunity to celebrate these unique plants, but also to draw attention to important issues related to ecology, primarily the threat of cactus extinction.
World Lupus Day
Celebrated annually since 2004. 50 out of 100,000 people suffer from this autoimmune disease. Pregnant women and women aged 16 to 55 are at risk. During this disease, various human organs are affected - from the skin to the central nervous system. Systemic lupus erythematosus cannot be contracted, it occurs as a result of improper functioning of the immune system.
World Fair Trade Day
This day was introduced by the World Fair Trade Association in support of the public movement for compliance with international commodity standards. This is especially true for export products from developing countries. It is important for fans of this movement that handicrafts, clothing and food products are produced without the use of low-paid, slave or child labor.
Memory of the Holy Apostle Simon the Zealot
The Gospel mentions the Holy Apostle Simon the Zealot in the inner circle of Jesus Christ's disciples, but he is probably the least known among them. The Gospel mentions him only three times. Matthew and Mark add the surname "Canaanite" to him, so some theologians assume that he came from Cana of Galilee and was a young man at whose wedding Jesus Christ performed his first miracle, turning water into wine. Simon accepted a martyr's death during the reign of Emperor Trajan, when he was already over a hundred years old.
