August 6: day of gratitude to Agricultural Workers, International Day "Doctors of the world for peace"
Kyiv • UNN
It is believed that people began to grow crops more than 20 thousand years ago.
Today, everyone can join the event dedicated to the people who provide us with bread, fresh fruits and vegetables, and many other products – the day of gratitude to agricultural workers.
It is believed that people began to grow crops more than 20 thousand years ago. People started taming animals for their use in agricultural work about ten years ago.
Agricultural workers are the backbone of the food supply chain. They are responsible for planting, growing, harvesting and packaging our fruits and vegetables. They also play a crucial role in the production of milk and meat, meaning that all the food we eat every day is somehow related to the farm worker. Their tireless work ensures a continuous flow of goods from the farm to the market.
Also today we can celebrate the International Day"Doctors of the world for peace". The event was jointly organized by American and Soviet doctors in 1980 to protest the arms race.
According to the church calendar today Transfiguration of the Lord.
According to the Bible, The Transfiguration of the Lord took place on Mount Tabor. One day, Jesus Christ, along with the Apostles James, Peter, and John, went there to pray. Jesus prayed while his disciples rested after a grueling journey. When the apostles awoke, they saw the radiance of the son of God around them, and all his clothes turned white. Then a voice came from heaven saying, " This is my beloved son, whom I have loved. Obey him.
Jesus asked not to tell anyone about this, but when everyone came down from the mountain, he ordered the disciples to pick apples and consecrate them.
Name days are celebrated today by Stanislav and Lev.
