All international holidays and their dates.

September is coming soon, so I invite you to see what holidays await us in September 2018. I read somewhere that a holiday is not a calendar concept, it happens where it is felt and expected.

Yes, there is something in these words; you can arrange a holiday for yourself and bring joy to your loved ones without any specific date. But, whatever one may say, we still can’t do without a calendar, because there are dates that are important not to miss.

How we work and relax in September 2018 in Russia

September is the ninth month of the Gregorian calendar, one of four months with 30 days. It is considered the beginning of autumn in the northern hemisphere of the Earth and the beginning of spring in the southern hemisphere. The arrival of September is associated by many with the end of a carefree holiday and the beginning of everyday work. And this is not surprising, because we all studied at school, college, and every time the beginning of September meant gaining new knowledge and increasing vitality.

Review of September holidays

On September 2, all countries of the anti-Hitler and anti-Japanese coalitions widely celebrate the end of World War II. This happened in 1945. In the beginning there was a great victory over the Nazis and was marked by the capture of Berlin and the hoisting of the Red Banner of Victory over the Reichstag (May 45). The Kwantung Army continued fighting in our Far East and Chinese territory. And the USSR declared war on it. In less than five months it ended with the complete defeat of Japanese militarism and its unconditional surrender. In honor of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory on May 9 in Moscow, and on September 3 in Beijing (2015), grandiose parades were held dedicated to these great dates, which were attended by heads of state of dozens of countries, veterans - living participants in past fierce battles with a monstrous enemy. Representatives of the victorious armies also took part in the parades.

On September 2, another important date is celebrated all over the planet - World Heart Day. And this is by no means accidental. Just think about it - over seventeen million people die from cardiovascular diseases every year in the world! In Russia alone, there are 250 heart patients per thousand people. And the numbers continue to grow alarmingly. This is because many people smoke, abuse alcohol, use drugs and lead a sedentary lifestyle. While in ancient times the brilliant physician, philosopher and writer Hippocrates (remember the text of his oath for doctors!) persistently recommended getting rid of bad habits and doing more physical exercise.
Our academician N.M. Amosov, a famous cardiologist, author of a number of popular scientific publications, who during the Great Patriotic War operated on over four thousand wounded people and thereby saved their lives, also spoke a lot about the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. He developed and published a whole range of physical exercises that prevent cardiovascular diseases.
The initiative to celebrate World Heart Day was taken back in 1999 by the World Heart Federation, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNESCO. Since then, it has been widely celebrated on the planet.
But the fifth of September is Teacher's Day in India, where there are as many as one hundred and fifty million students! The figure is quite comparable to the population of several European or other countries combined. As in Russia, children come to school on this day in formal clothes, with flowers and gifts, and warmly congratulate their mentors and teachers on their professional holiday. There are no classes, but sometimes the lessons are taught by himself and the students. Unlike us, in India, children's education is treated zealously and responsibly. The poorest village has its own school, albeit small. And even with free food for the kids. Under Soviet rule, we also had schools everywhere (remember the film “The Village Teacher”!). Now (2015), as a result of thoughtless reforms and optimization, many rural schools have closed, and children have to walk far or take buses to get an education.
Teacher's Day in India is associated with another important event - the birthday of the great scientific humanist, writer, and so on and so on in order Sarvepalli Radhakrishna, who, for his great services to the state, was elected its president, and ruled the country for five whole years, not counting his vice -presidential term. The statesman and politician, educator made an invaluable contribution to the development of domestic education, including higher education.

An amazing holiday is the Day of Uncharted Roads, celebrated throughout the world on September 4th. And what outstanding names he is associated with! With Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America. Vasco da Gama - who paved the shortest route from Europe to India. Our Afanasy Nikitin, the author of the famous “Walkings across the Three Seas”, who visited Persia, India, and Turkey. Finally, Fedor Konyukhov, who sailed alone across the Atlantic fifteen times, conquered several of the highest peaks in the world, painted thousands of paintings and published several books about his unforgettable travels.

As you know, our people love holidays and know how to celebrate them with their characteristic breadth. I wonder what the holidays will be like in September 2018? Will Russians have additional days off? Those who are interested in these issues can use our material.

In our country, more and more people are returning to their roots. They begin to go to church and celebrate church holidays. Therefore, we decided to show which Orthodox holidays are celebrated in September:

• 09/01/18, Saturday - Don Icon;

Muslim holidays

There are entire regions in our country where the Muslim population lives compactly. Therefore, we considered it necessary to mention Muslim holidays in our review:

• 09/05/18, Wednesday - Eid al-Mubakhila;
• 09/11/18, Tuesday - New Year according to Hijri;
• 09.17.18, Monday – hike to Khaybar;
• 09/19/18, Wednesday - Tashua of Imam Hussein;
• 09.20.18, Thursday - Day of Ashura or remembrance of the prophets of the messengers of Allah.

People of other religions often live next to us, and therefore, for better mutual understanding, sometimes we just need to know a little more about their lives.

Probably, few people know that Muslims celebrate their New Year in 2018 on 09/11/18. This is due to the fact that they live according to the lunar calendar. Their New Year is completely different from ours. They don’t have a Christmas tree, they don’t drink champagne at the festive table and they don’t set the table on New Year’s Eve. They completely dedicate this day to the Prophet Muhammad, go to the mosque and pray.

And who knows that according to the Muslim faith, heaven, angels and the first man were created on September 20? However, for Muslims, this is not a holiday. On this day, believers of this religion are in mourning and engage in self-torture in every possible way.
