Day of the Medical Worker of Ukraine, Birthday of the Hamburger, Transatlantic Communication Day. What else can be celebrated on July 27
Kyiv • UNN
Today, July 27, medical professionals in Ukraine celebrate their professional holiday. Until 2023, according to the Soviet tradition, the Day of the Doctor in Ukraine was celebrated on the third Sunday of June. Last year, the celebration date was moved to July 27.
Today, on July 27, medical workers are celebrating their professional holiday in Ukraine, UNN reports.
Since 1994, the Day of the Doctor in Ukraine has been celebrated on the third Sunday of June. Medical workers in many countries of the former soviet union, including russia and belarus, also celebrated their professional holiday on the same day.
In order to get rid of the Soviet past, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on June 13, 2023, to move the Day of the Medical Worker to July 27.
The full-scale russian aggression has become a real challenge for Ukrainian medical professionals. Before the full-scale war, there were about 143,000 doctors and 261,000 nurses in Ukraine.
Experts estimate that the number of doctors in Ukraine has decreased by 15% since February 2022. Most of them went abroad.
During the Russian aggression in Ukraine, 194 civilian medics were killed. Thousands of medical workers have been killed and wounded at the front.
Since February 24, 2022, more than 1,700 medical facilities have been destroyed or damaged as a result of hostile strikes and shelling in Ukraine.
July 27 is considered the birthday of the hamburger. According to the most common version, it was on this day in 1900 that American Louis Lessing sold a beef patty with lettuce and sauce in a cut bun in his diner on wheels.
In 1916, Kansas chef Walter Anderson patented a special hamburger bun.
Hamburgers became incredibly popular after the opening of McDonald's restaurants. In the restaurants of this chain, 75 hamburgers are sold every second around the world.
Today is also Transatlantic Communications Day.
It was on July 27, 1866, that the telegraph cable connecting Europe and North America was completed across the Atlantic Ocean. Work on this project lasted 12 years.
Today, fans of ancient musical instruments can join the Day of Honoring Bagpipes.
The prototypes of the bagpipes have been known since the times of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Bagpipes were also played in Ancient Greece, and with the Roman conquerors the bagpipes came to Britain.
In Scotland, the bagpipes began to gain popularity in the sixteenth century, and gradually became a cult instrument and symbol of the Scottish people.
You can have an original time today if you celebrate Stilt Walking Day.
Stilt walking has been known since the days of Ancient Greece. Medieval Europe even organized knightly tournaments on stilts.
In the nineteenth century, residents of the French province of Landes used stilts in their everyday lives. The area was very marshy, so people on stilts worked in the fields, went shopping at the fair, and visited each other.
According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of the Holy Martyr Panteleimon.
Panteleimon lived in Nicomedia in the third century and was a doctor. After he was baptized, he continued to help people and even began to heal them with prayers.
Pagan doctors envied Panteleimon's popularity and reported him to Emperor Maximian.
On the order of the ruler, Panteleimon was captured, tortured for a long time and brutally, and then his head was cut off.
Today, Ivan, Mykola, and Petro celebrate their name days.
