World Tropics Day
Tropics occupy 40% of our entire planet. They are home to 80% of living creatures - plants and animals. More than 800 million people live in this area. Approximately 20% of the inhabitants of this belt do not have access to drinking water, and a third of people face difficulties related to obtaining electricity. The purpose of this day is to draw attention to problems related to the tropics that require immediate resolution.

Holy Supreme Apostles Peter and Paul
The feast of Peter and Paul is one of the most important holidays in Christianity. Apostles Peter and Paul are considered to be among the most prominent preachers of Christianity. Apostle Peter was a fisherman whom Jesus called to be a "fisher of men." He became one of Christ's closest disciples, on whom the Son of God "built his Church." Apostle Paul was initially a persecutor of Christians, but after meeting Jesus, he became one of the most influential preachers of Christianity.
