By church calendar December 14 is the day of memory of the holy prophet Nahum. It is known that he was born in Galilee in the VII BC. From ancient times, our people revered him as an assistant in all kinds of mental pursuits, which is why they called him the Literate. Therefore, on December 14, Russia celebrates the day of Nahum - Literacy
A long time ago in Rus', on this day, the youths were determined to study, believing that "Saint Naum sharpens the mind." And the role of teachers then was played by clerks. In a house where there was at least a little bit of prosperity and where they decided to “smart up”, i.e. to teach his son to read and write, a real performance was played out. The child-loving parents of the “teacher” greeted him with bows and cordial greetings, seated him in the front corner, and then the father brought the boy to him and, placing a whip on the bench near the teacher, respectfully stepped aside. The future student bowed three times to the mentor to the ground, and he hit him three times with a whip on the back. Then the mother came into play. She sat down at the table with her son and the teacher, and he took out the primer. Teaching began, and while they were learning “az” - the first letter of the alphabet - mother, lamenting and shedding tears, persuaded the mentor “not to starve her son too hard with a letter.” The teacher, allegedly heeding the mother's pleas, immediately interrupted the training. Then, having received a piece of lard, eggs, and most often a sieve cake wrapped in an embroidered towel as a gift, he left the house accompanied by his parents and already at the gate ordered them so that the lad would now go to him himself.
Compassionate mothers baked small cakes in the form of coins that day and gave them to their children and neighbors - for happiness and good luck.
Few in those days could give an apprenticeship to a teenager, as they used to say "undergrowth." However, they understood that it is much easier for a literate person to get out of eternal need. Even dreams were interpreted like this: for an illiterate to see the alphabet in a dream means grief and unforeseen troubles, and for a scientist - happiness and success in his enterprises.
By the way, the first primers were the grammar alphabets of Ivan Fedorov (1574) and Lavrenty Zinania (1596). In the 17th century (1694), Karion Istomin's illustrated primer was considered the best, in which subject drawings were attached to each letter. Well, the Slavic alphabet itself was created by the famous educator and preacher of Christianity Cyril. Back in 863, together with his brother Methodius, the Byzantine emperor sent him to Moravia (a historical region on the territory of modern Czech Republic and Slovakia) to preach Christianity in the Slavic language. Just before leaving, Kirill compiled the Slavic alphabet and, with the help of his brother, translated several liturgical books from Greek into Slavonic - selected readings from the Gospel, apostolic letters, a psalter, etc.
True, there is still no consensus among scientists about what kind of alphabet Cyril created - Glagolitic or Cyrillic (they differ from each other in the shape of the letters).
For a long time, Cyrillic and Glagolitic were used in parallel, but subsequently Glagolitic became widespread in the West among the Catholic Slavs, and Cyrillic in countries belonging to the Eastern Church. Over time, both the composition and the shape of the Cyrillic letters changed, and on its basis the alphabets of the southern and eastern Slavs, as well as the Mongolian alphabet, were created.
Education in Rus' began in the fall - on the day of Kozma and Demyan (November 14), and a month later - on the day of Naum Literacy - the students could already show their progress. This day was celebrated as a holiday of letters, as a holiday of initiation into disciples.
Every year on December 15, the world celebrates International Tea Day. It is believed that tea as a drink was discovered by the second emperor of China, Sheen Nung, around 2737 BC, when the emperor dipped tea tree leaves into a cup of hot water. In 400 - 600 years. AD In China, there is a growing interest in tea as a medicinal drink, in connection with which the processes of tea cultivation are developing.
In Europe and in Russia, tea has become known since the first half of the 17th century. And one of the most famous events in modern tea history is the Boston Tea Party, which took place on December 16, 1773, when American colonists threw boxes of tea into Boston Harbor to protest the British tax on tea. Today, many tea lovers, in addition to tea leaves, add onion, ginger, spices, or slices of lemon and orange to their favorite drink. Some peoples brew tea with milk. Many countries have their own traditions of tea drinking, but invariably one thing - tea continues to be one of the most beloved drinks on earth.

Marshak. A visit to the circle determined the further path of Vereiskaya. She firmly decided to dedicate her work to children. In 1925, she wrote the first story for children, Earring in the Village. Then came her novels "Dvorovy Pashka" (1929), "Besik" (later known as "Grandma's Bun"), "Tanya the Revolutionary", "Jiahon Fionaf".

In Russia, the New Year began to be celebrated by decree of Peter I from January 1, 1700. Before that, the beginning of the new year was celebrated on September 1. The decree of Peter I said: “On the noble and passable streets at the gates and houses, make some decorations from trees and branches of pine, spruce and juniper, repair shooting from small cannons and guns, launch rockets and light fires. And for meager people, everyone should at least put a tree or a branch on the gate.
In general, the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree is very ancient, it is more than 2000 years old. Previously, people believed that all trees were endowed with good powers, that good spirits lived in them. People tried to please these spirits by hanging treats and gifts on trees. Evergreen spruce occupied a special place among all trees: it was a sacred center, a “world tree”, symbolizing life itself.
The New Year is one of the most ancient holidays, which is why so many legends have arisen around it. Thus, the tradition of decorating the New Year tree with tinsel is also associated with the legend of a poor woman. On New Year's Eve, she wanted to decorate the Christmas tree to please her children, but there was nothing. Then she began to pray. Christ heard her request and asked the spiders to weave beautiful silver cobwebs. Since then, on New Year's Eve and Christmas trees have been decorated with shiny tinsel.
