    Russian holidays have always been bright, spectacular and crowded. From time immemorial in Rus’ they knew how to fight and celebrate. Today, Russians celebrate not only native Russian holidays, such as Shrovetide – the day of seeing off winter, Epiphany and others, but also holidays that appeared in the 20th century, as well as global ones – New Year and St. Valentine’s Day.

    In honor of a number of holidays that are especially significant for the country, the government allocates weekends and even weeks. The longest holidays for Russians are associated with the New Year and their favorite “May holidays” – Labor Day, May 1 and Victory Day, 9May. Vacations between two holidays allow you to go on May Day and even go on a trip.

    Mayevka is historically connected with the meeting of spring. There is a tradition these days to go to nature or city parks and have picnics. The summer season begins in May. A special time for many urban residents of Russia.

    Public holidays in Russia usually have fixed dates, but when the holiday date coincides with a day off (Sunday), the government adds another day off at the start of the workweek. nine0011

    December 31 – January 1, New Year

    The most beloved and expected holiday not only in Russia, but also on the territory of many states of the former USSR, is undoubtedly the New Year. His offensive is celebrated on the night of December 31 to January 1. Russians believe that the holiday determines the future life in the new year (“as you meet it, so you will spend it”). This belief is associated with the tradition of putting on everything new and beautiful on New Year’s Eve and meeting him at a richly served table with people dear to the heart, family and friends. Millions of families across Russia are waiting for the President’s New Year’s speech and the chiming clock on the Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower. It is believed that it is with the chimes that the New Year begins. Integral attributes and companions of the holiday are a smart Christmas tree, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Meeting the New Year on Red Square in Moscow can be an amazing adventure even for the most sophisticated traveler. Read more…

    January 7, Orthodox Christmas

    Orthodox Christmas Day falls on January 7th. This day celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ from the Virgin Mary. However, there is a tradition to prepare for Christmas ahead of time and already in early December (long before Catholic Christmas) to decorate cities and houses, as well as decorate the Christmas tree. Decorations are removed after the feast of the Epiphany. In some provincial settlements and villages, the custom of caroling is still preserved. In cities, it exists as a theatrical performance, not an attribute of real life. On Christmas Eve in unchurched families, girls tell fortunes about their betrothed. It is believed that Christmas divination is the most faithful. Since ancient times in Rus’, there was a custom to invite lonely and poor people to a luxurious Christmas table. This custom has been transformed today into a tradition of handing out treats and giving attention to people who need it. Read more. ..

    January 19, Epiphany

In honor of the feast of baptism, people plunge into the font, not paying attention to the severe frosts that are mandatory for this time of year in Russia.

    National holidays in 2022: hopes for the end of the epidemic and travel in the Golden Week

    Society

    Local measures to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus introduced in the prefectures of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hyogo, Okinawa and Miyagi will be valid until the end of the Golden Week (in Tokyo – until May 11). The infection is gradually spreading to areas where such measures have not been introduced, and the situation remains unstable. For the second year in a row, the epidemic interferes with the normal celebration of holidays in late April and early May. We hope that in 2022 it will already be possible to travel safely. nine0011
