Holidays May 19

Pioneer Day

The celebration of Pioneer Day in Moscow is a solemn reception in the Pioneers on Red Square of several thousand Pioneers with tying ties.

Day of the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V. I. Lenin (Pioneer Day) is a holiday of the pioneer movement, officially celebrated in the USSR on May 19.

A bit of history

When joining the pioneer organization, each recruit had to take a solemn oath:

“I (Name, Surname), joining the ranks of the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, solemnly promise in front of my comrades: to love my Motherland passionately. Live, study and fight as the great Lenin bequeathed, as the Communist Party teaches. It is sacred to observe the Laws of the Pioneers of the Soviet Union.

Upon joining the pioneer organization, each pioneer was required to observe the following laws:

1. Pioneer is loyal to the working class and communism.

2. A pioneer is a friend and brother to every other pioneer and Komsomol member.

3. The pioneer is honest and truthful. His word is like granite.

4. The pioneer is disciplined.

5. Every day a pioneer helps fellow workers in the construction of a communist society.

6. The pioneer is industrious and respects useful work.

7. The pioneer is pure in thought, word and deed.

Each pioneer was required to wear the following attributes:

Red tie. He was a particle of the revolutionary Red Banner. To protect the honor of one's pioneer tie meant sacredly keeping the honor of the Red Banner. It was a symbol of loyalty to the cause of the Great October Revolution.

Pioneer badge. It was an image of a five-pointed red star (a symbol of unity, workers of five continents) with a profile of V.I. Lenin in the center of the star (a sign of belonging to the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after V.I. Lenin and fidelity of the pioneer to Lenin's precepts), above the upper rays of the star there is a pioneer bonfire with three flames (a symbol of the unity of generations of communists - Komsomol members - pioneers), the lower rays of the star are intertwined ribbon with the words "Always ready!" (a symbol of a pioneer's readiness to fight for the cause of the Communist Party).

Job Goroshnik

Job Goroshnik is celebrated according to the folk calendar on May 19 (May 6, according to the old style). The name of the holiday was given in honor of St. Job the Long-suffering, whose memory is revered on this date in the church calendar.

The saint lived about 20-15 centuries before the birth of Christ, he revered and loved the Lord, for which he rewarded him with various blessings. He had a home, wealth, a wife and ten children. One day, Satan told God that Job honored him for the gifts of God and offered to test the man. The Lord agreed, then Satan took away all the possessions and children from Job, and sent a leprosy to the believer himself. The poor man continued to believe in the Lord, but he doubted what he had done wrong, why he was punished so much. Then the Almighty appeared to the sufferer, seeing repentance, he returned to Job everything that he had. The man again had ten children, and he himself recovered and lived to be 240 years old.

Traditions and rituals

The main traditions on May 19 are planting peas and other garden crops, walking barefoot in the dew.

On May 19, the peasants planted peas and cucumbers. Although peas began to be sown on Yegory (May 6), it was Job who was nicknamed the Pea. On this day they said: "Come work for white peas." In Russia, peas and beans were available to everyone - even the poor. No wonder there was a saying "stay on the beans." Another proverb associated with legumes indicates that they have been bred for a very long time: "It was in the time of King Peas."

There are many fairy tales and legends about peas. One of them says that when God expelled Adam from paradise, he wept bitterly when he first plowed the earth, and peas were born from his tears. In the Tula province, the sowing of peas was accompanied by a special sentence: “I sow, I sow white peas; ugly, my pea, and large, and white, and himself three to ten, old women for fun, young guys for fun.

On May 19, from the very morning, adults and children walked barefoot in the dew. It was believed that on this day she had miraculous powers. The kids were even allowed to tumble in the grass. So they will “take in” more health and strength. The peasants went out into the yard in the morning and watched: if the dew is plentiful, then cucumbers will be born.

Dew was considered very useful for garden plants. On this occasion, they said: "Job dismissed the dew." Healers also collected dew. They soaked it with a towel, squeezed it into a vessel and stored it. Then, during the year, they resorted to healing moisture in the manufacture of medicines for the sick.

Engaged in Job and sowing work. They did this after sunset so that the birds would not see and peck at the seeds. The process was accompanied by conspiracies for a bountiful harvest, protection from evil spirits and a bad eye. According to popular belief, it was better for women to do all the garden work that day - then there will be more harvest.

Birthday Rubik's Cube

The Rubik's Cube is a puzzle known all over the world. But not even its popularity is interesting. It was thanks to this invention that a kind of competition in high-speed assembly appeared - speed cubing (from English word speed cubing). Today, tournaments in this unusual "sport" are held across countries and international competitions. The current record (4.73 seconds) currently belongs to an Australian named Felix Zemdegs. He installed it in 2016 - the guy was only 20 years old. And this year we are celebrating the 43rd anniversary of the puzzle itself. The birthday of the Rubik's Cube is celebrated on May 19th.

For 40 years now, this unique invention has been considered a favorite toy not only for children, but also for adults, as it perfectly trains logic, memory and thinking, because the number of its combinations exceeds 43 quintillion (10 to the 18th degree). No wonder the cube assembly speed championships are very popular. If during the first competition in 1982 the puzzle was folded “already” in 27 seconds, now the champions manage to do it in an incredible 5-6 seconds. The robot, by the way, does it in 3.2 s.

In the USSR, the Cube gained its popularity in 1981 after the publication of an article in the famous journal "Science and Life", and acquired the rights to production for an impressive $ 3 million at that time. Conceived as a guide to geometry, the cube has gained worldwide fame: in the very era of the “heyday” of fame, the game could be found in almost every catering establishment or public place.

On May 19, the Rubik's Cube was introduced to the world, so this date became his birthday. Since its inception, approximately 350 million copies of the puzzle have been sold (officially) and manufacturers are clearly not going to stop at this figure.
