Holidays May 19

Pioneer Day

Celebration of Pioneer Day in Moscow - a ceremonial reception of several thousand pioneers on Red Square with the tying of ties.

The 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 little history

Upon 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, in front of my comrades, I solemnly promise: to passionately love my Motherland. Live, study and fight, as the great Lenin bequeathed, as the Communist Party teaches. It is sacred to observe the Laws of Pioneerism of the Soviet Union."

Upon joining the pioneer organization, each pioneer was obliged to comply with the following laws:

1. The 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. A pioneer helps his fellow workers every day in building a communist society.

6. The pioneer is hardworking and respects useful work.

7. A pioneer is pure in thoughts, words and deeds.

Each pioneer was required to wear the following attributes:

Red tie. It represented a piece of the revolutionary Red Banner. Taking care of the honor of your pioneer tie meant sacredly preserving 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, the working people of five continents) with the 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 the pioneer’s fidelity to Lenin’s covenants), above the upper rays of the star there is a pioneer fire 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 the pioneer’s readiness to fight for the cause of the Communist Party).

Job Goroshnik

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

The saint lived approximately 20-15 centuries before the birth of Christ, he revered and loved the Lord, for which he rewarded him with various benefits. He had housing, 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 of Job’s possessions and children, and sent 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 being punished like this. 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 of May 19 are planting peas and other garden crops and walking barefoot in the dew.

On May 19, peasants planted peas and cucumbers. Although they began to sow peas on Yegoriy (May 6), it was Job who was nicknamed the Pea Man. On this day they said: “Come and work for white peas.” In Rus', peas and beans were available to everyone - even the poor. It’s not for nothing that 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 Pea.”

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

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

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

They also did sowing work for Job. They did this after sunset so that the birds would not see and eat 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 garden work on this day - then there would be more harvest.

Rubik's Cube Birthday

The Rubik's cube is a puzzle known all over the world. But it’s not even her popularity that makes her interesting. It was thanks to this invention that a kind of high-speed assembly competition appeared - speedcubing (from the English word speedcubing). Today, tournaments in this unusual “sport” are held on a national and international scale. 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, since it perfectly trains logic, memory and thinking, because the number of its combinations exceeds 43 quintillion (10 to the 18th power). It’s no wonder that cube-solving speed championships are very popular. If during the first competition in 1982 the puzzle was completed in just 27 seconds, now the champions manage to do it in an incredible 5-6 seconds. The robot, by the way, does this in 3.2 seconds.

In the USSR, the Cube gained its popularity in 1981 after the publication of an article in the famous magazine “Science and Life”, and the production rights were purchased for an impressive $3 million at that time. Conceived as a tool for geometry, the cube 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 appearance, approximately 350 million copies of the puzzle have been sold (officially) and the manufacturers are clearly not going to stop at this figure.

Events occurred on May 19 - historical dates

In 1484, the Annunciation Cathedral was founded in the Moscow Kremlin, which took about 5 years to build. In the iconostasis of the cathedral there are icons that were painted by Andrei Rublev and Theophan the Greek, the main one of which is the shrine of the cathedral - the miraculous icon of the “Mother of God of the Don”.

In 1712, Peter I moved the capital of Russia to St. Petersburg, which was only 9 years old at that time. For almost 2 centuries, St. Petersburg was the capital of Russia (not counting the years of the reign of Peter II, when the status of the capital briefly returned to Moscow). Already in the 18th century they began to talk about St. Petersburg as a real Russian “European”. At the beginning of the 20th century, having become a million-plus city, St. Petersburg turned into the largest Russian and one of the world's most important industrial, credit and stock exchange centers. After 1917, the Bolsheviks, fearing the proximity of the border to unfriendly bourgeois states, returned Moscow to capital status, where construction and industry began to develop.

In 1802, in France, on the initiative of Napoleon, the Order of the Legion of Honor was established. This is France's highest award and one of the most respected in the world. Among the holders of the Order are Russian citizens. The honor was given to G. Zhukov, V. Putin, M. Plisetskaya and others.

In 1910, the Earth crossed the tail of Halley's Comet. This most popular comet orbits the Sun in a highly elongated elliptical orbit, its orbital period is 74-79 years.

In 1922, a pioneer organization was created in young Soviet Russia, which in 1926 became known as the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after Lenin. The first pioneer detachments began work at Komsomol cells of factories, factories, and various institutions, participated in community cleanups, and helped eliminate illiteracy and child homelessness.

Events of May 19

The construction of the Annunciation Cathedral lasted about five years. It was assembled in the likeness of ancient Greek temples. In 1489, Metropolitan Gerontius performed the consecration ceremony at the foot of the Annunciation Cathedral. The nine-domed structure of the snow-white Kremlin structure is determined by the fact that it was in honor of the Annunciation (nine chapters, according to church architecture, symbolize the holy image of the Blessed Virgin Mary) that the cathedral was erected.

The wall painting of the Annunciation Cathedral contains images of ancient Greek sages - such as Aristotle, Ptolemy, Thucydides, Plutarch, Zeno, Plato, Socrates; all those who spread philosophical sayings close to Christian teaching.

May 19, 1922 - Creation of the first pioneer organization, named in 1926 the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after. Lenin

In 1922, the All-Russian Komsomol Conference, on behalf of the Communist Party, organized the first pioneer detachments. In the same year, by resolution of the All-Russian Congress of the RKSM, all pioneer detachments were united into a single children's communist organization. In 1926, after the 7th Komsomol Congress, it was named after Lenin. Pioneer detachments took part in public works, cleanup days, and helped fight child homelessness and illiteracy.

From the beginning of the 1930s, pioneer associations began to form in all schools, and during the Great Patriotic War, massive Timur movements were organized, which in every possible way helped Soviet families, front-line soldiers, collected scrap metal, were on duty in hospitals, and also took part in planting and harvesting crops. In 1991, with the collapse of the USSR, the power of the pioneer organization was significantly undermined and, starting from this period, gradually faded away.

Signs May 19 - Job Goroshkin's day

People called the day differently: the day of Job the Goroshnik, Rosennik, Ogorodnik.

They said that Job dissolved dew - indeed, dew often fell in the morning. We tried to plant peas, pumpkins, beans, etc. on May 19th.

Sowing on May 19 was usually accompanied by conspiracies, and the seeds were planted at sunset so that the sparrows would not see them or peck them. Women often did the sowing work on May 19, since it was believed that in this case the harvest would be rich.

It is known that planting peas is a rather difficult undertaking.

On May 19, we tried to adhere to a large number of rules. So, for example, peas were planted outside the setting sun, on damp soil and during the waning moon.

We also tried to take the wind into account. For example, if it blew from the North, they said that the peas would be hard. South-west or west wind - the peas will be small and wormy. They did the same on May 19 with seeds of corn, pumpkin, and beans.

Gardeners always paid attention to dew. If it is large, then the harvest will be rich.

Also, dew on May 19 was considered healing, helping cucumbers to sprout well. Therefore, when cucumbers were planted, they were watered with water from the pond.

Folk calendar May 19

Today, May 19, is a holiday celebrated in Russia: Pioneer Day.

96 years ago on this day, during the next Komsomol congress, a decision was made to create pioneer organizations. Their main goal was to instill in the younger generation such values ​​as friendship, selfless help, collectivism and respect for the rules of a socialist society. The laws and charter of the pioneers differed from the Octobrists and Komsomol members.

During the Soviet era, concerts and ceremonial assemblies were held on this day, where October children were initiated into pioneers, the well-known red tie was tied, a “pioneer bonfire” was lit, and award ceremonies were held for pioneer units that had succeeded in something: studying, collecting scrap metal or waste paper , or in sports.

Quite a few years have passed since the collapse of the USSR, but Russia still honors the traditions of this holiday. Every year, thousands of children are accepted into the ranks of pioneers on Red Square, writes the Wordyou website. In 2012 (on the 90th anniversary of the pioneers), 5 thousand schoolchildren were dedicated.
