August 21: Day without cosmetics and makeup, World Avatar Day

Today, on August 21, women and fans of natural female beauty can join the celebration of the Day without Cosmetics and Makeup in many countries around the world, UNN writes.

According to statistics, 44% of women feel insecure without daily makeup, and 14% are psychologically dependent on it.

In support of today's event, showbiz stars, actresses, models, and famous bloggers are posting photos and videos of themselves without makeup to show that every woman's natural beauty is unique and inimitable.

On August 21, movie fans celebrate World Avatar Day.

It was on this day in 2009 that the first trailer for James Cameron's cult film Avatar was shown.

Avatar has grossed nearly $2.8 billion at the box office and is currently the highest-grossing film. In 2022, the movie Avatar: The Waterway was released. The third part of the franchise is scheduled to premiere in 2025.

In Sanskrit, avatar means ascension. In Hindu philosophy, this term refers to the descent of a god from the spiritual world to the mundane world for a specific purpose.

Events are still being held today to mark the Day of Self-Care on the Internet.

The event is dedicated to spreading awareness of the risks to users on the Internet and the rules of Internet safety.

August 21 is also Poet's Day. The event was founded in 1994 by British entrepreneur, publisher, and philanthropist William Sichhart.

Sichhart believed that there are many wonderful poets in the world whose poems, for one reason or another, never reach a wide audience.

According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of the Holy Apostle Thaddeus.

Thaddeus was a relative of Jesus Christ in the line of Joseph and one of the 12 apostles. After the Ascension of Christ, Thaddeus preached in many lands.

According to legend, he was captured by pagans in Persia and beaten to death with sticks.

On August 21, Thaddeus, Paul, and Martha celebrate their name days.
