Kyiv • UNN
On February 28, the world celebrates Tailors' Day, Tooth Fairy Day, Patrol and Postal Service Day, and Facebook Day. The holidays are dedicated to important professions and social initiatives.
Today, February 28, is World Tailor's Day, a holiday dedicated to craftsmen who create and repair clothes, helping people look stylish and confident, UNN reports.
World Tailors' Day is celebrated every year on February 28. This date was not chosen by chance - it was February 28 when William Howe (1819-1867), an American inventor who created the first practical sewing machine, was born. His development was revolutionary for the textile industry and greatly simplified the work of tailors around the world.
Tailors are true artists in the fashion world. They do not just sew fabric, but create an individual style, taking into account the peculiarities of the figure, fashion trends and the wishes of customers. In the past centuries, tailors worked only for the nobility, but today they sew for everyone, from famous design houses to small ateliers.
World Tailors' Day celebrates the contribution of this profession to society. Ateliers and fashion houses can organize open workshops, exhibitions of exclusive products, and meetings with designers.

February 28 is also the Day of the Tooth Fairy. This holiday is dedicated to a fairy tale character who brings gifts to children in exchange for lost baby teeth.
The Tooth Fairy is one of the most beloved children's myths, helping kids to accept changing teeth without fear.
The first references to the "tooth" tradition can be found in the Scandinavian tradition: children were paid for their lost teeth, believing that this would bring them good luck in battle. In France, in the 18th century, a fairy tale called La Bonne Petite Souris appeared, where a mouse exchanged lost teeth for coins or gifts-a story reminiscent of the modern tooth fairy.
In America, the image of the tooth fairy began to take shape in the early twentieth century. The first written mention appeared in the Chicago Tribune in 1908, and in 1927, Esther Watkins Arnold popularized the myth in her play The Tooth Fairy. Since then, the character has become an integral part of children's traditions in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries.
The holiday is a great opportunity to tell children about the importance of dental care, organize themed games or read fairy tales about the tooth fairy. In some countries, dentists use this day to promote oral hygiene among children.
The Day of Patrol and Post Service of Ukraine is celebrated annually on February 28. This professional holiday was established in 2010 in recognition of the important role of the patrol and post service in ensuring public order and security.
The patrol service in Ukraine was established in 2006 by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The main responsibilities of the service are to maintain law and order in public places, stop illegal activities, participate in crime detection and prevention, and interact with the public.
On this day, it is customary to congratulate patrol officers, expressing gratitude for their dedicated work and contribution to the safety of citizens.
On February 28, the world celebrates World No Facebook Day, an initiative aimed at fighting digital addiction and rethinking our use of social media. For many of us, this platform has become an integral part of our daily lives. From browsing the news to communicating with friends and acquaintances, Facebook is no longer just a social network, but also a platform for interaction that takes up a significant part of our time.
