August 1: All-Russian day of the collector
August 1 is the All-Russian day of the collector. Collectors are people on whom the reliability and safety of money and material assets largely depend. The work of a collector is extremely difficult. He must be, as they say, a jack of all trades: not only an experienced security guard, but also a cashier who knows all the forms of documents necessary for the transfer of valuables, stamps, details. And he is also a specialist in working with complex banking equipment (ATMs of various designs, electronic exchange offices) and, finally, a loader. After all, packed valuables can be very heavy, weighing up to 50 kilograms (for example, coins - the proceeds of car fleets or precious metal ingots) or, conversely, fragile (cassettes in ATMs). In 1988, the service acquired the status of an independent legal entity subordinate to the Bank of Russia and being its structural unit. The duties of collectors include the collection, protection and delivery of cash and other valuables to the bank's cash desk. The word "collection" itself comes from the Italian incassare, which means "to put in a box."

August 15: Archaeologist's Day
Despite the fact that the history of this holiday is not associated with any events and discoveries, and it is not a state holiday and is not official holiday, archaeologists mark it as a professional. Archeology is a completely separate science. All historical events are established either according to written sources or according to archeological data. Very, very few written messages are preserved, and everyday material is sometimes more than one can imagine. In Russia, this science began to develop from the middle of the 19th century, when Count Alexei Sergeevich Uvarov became interested in archeology. At first, he had no idea about the technology of excavation. But it was his research that formed the basis for the further development of the science of antiquities.

Day of Remembrance for Victims of Fascism
The Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Fascism is the Day of Remembrance of tens of millions of people who perished as a result of a gigantic, inhuman experiment. These are the millions of soldiers that the fascist leaders pushed against each other, but even more - civilians who died under the bombs, from disease and from hunger. There is no country that would benefit from the rule of the Nazis, there is no such nation that would be enriched materially or spiritually as a result of their rule. Since 1962, every second Sunday in September has been considered the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism. This day was determined precisely in September, since this month there are two dates associated with the Second World War - the day of its beginning and its complete end. This was one of the reasons for establishing a day of mourning for September Sunday.
Programmer's Day
Programmer's Day is an unofficial holiday of programmers, celebrated on the 256th day of the year. The number 256 (two to the eighth) was chosen because it is the number of numbers that can be expressed in one byte. In leap years, this holiday falls on September 12, in non-leap years - on September 13.
September 18: Secretary's Day
There is no official professional holiday for secretaries in Russia. But an initiative group of secretaries from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk and Perm and the editors of the Secret @ r.RU magazine decided to correct this injustice and establish the Secretary's Day holiday, which is proposed to be held every third Friday of September.

It can also be said that the first autumn month of September is very plentiful for holidays and memorable dates. At the same time, both world and domestic level. Many also significant events, which are celebrated in the most different countries world on all five continents. There are more than a dozen such holidays, memorable events and significant dates today.

Overview of holidays in September

On September 2, all countries of the anti-Hitler and anti-Japanese coalitions widely celebrate the end of World War II. It happened in 1945. In the beginning there was a great victory over the Nazis and marked by the capture of Berlin, the hoisting of the Red Banner of Victory over the Reichstag (May 45th). 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 dedicated to these great dates were held, at which the heads of state of dozens of countries arrived, veterans - living participants in past fierce battles with a monstrous enemy. Representatives of the victorious armies also took part in the parades.

On the second of September, another important date is celebrated all over the planet - World Heart Day. And this is by no means accidental. Just think about it - every year in the world more than seventeen million people die from cardiovascular diseases! In Russia alone, there are 250 cores per 1,000 people. And the numbers continue to grow ominously. And all because many people smoke, abuse alcohol, use drugs and lead a sedentary lifestyle. While back in ancient times, the brilliant doctor, philosopher and writer Hippocrates (remember the text of his oath for doctors!) strongly recommended getting rid of bad habits, doing more physical exercises.
Our academician N.M. Amosov, a famous cardiologist, author of a number of popular scientific publications, who operated on over four thousand wounded during the Great Patriotic War and thereby saved their lives, spoke a lot about the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. He developed and published a whole complex exercise preventing cardiovascular disease.
the initiative to world day hearts were shown back in 1999 by the World Heart Federation, World Organization Health (WHO) and UNESCO. Since then, it has been widely celebrated on the planet.
But the fifth of September is Teacher's Day in India, in which one hundred and fifty million students alone! The figure is quite comparable with the population of several European or other countries combined. As in Russia, children come to school on this day in full dress, with flowers and gifts, warmly congratulate their mentors-teachers on their professional holiday. Classes are not held, but it happens that the lessons are conducted by the students themselves. Unlike us, in India, the education of children is treated zealously and responsibly. In the poorest village there is even a small, but its own school. And even with free meals for the kids. Under Soviet rule, we had schools everywhere (remember the film "The Village Teacher"!). Now (2015), as a result of rash reforms and optimization, many schools in the countryside have closed, and children have to walk far or take buses to get an education.
Teacher's Day in India is related to something else important event- the birthday of the great learned humanist, writer, and so on and so forth in the order of 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. A statesman and political figure, an educator made an invaluable contribution to the development of national education, including higher education.

Such a holiday as the Day of Unexplored Roads, celebrated by the whole world on September 4, is amazing. And with what outstanding names it is connected! 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 "Journeys beyond the three seas", who visited Persia, India, Turkey. Finally, Fedor Konyukhov, who crossed the Atlantic alone 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 inherent latitude. I wonder what holidays will be in September 2018? Will the Russians have extra days off? Those who are interested in these questions can use our material.

Everything in our country more people returns to its origins. They start going to church and celebrating church holidays. Therefore, we decided to show which Orthodox holidays 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-Mubakhil;
  • 09/11/18, Tuesday - New Year according to Hijri;
  • 09/17/18, Monday - hike to Khaibar;
  • 09/19/18, Wednesday - Tashua of Imam Hussein;
  • 09/20/18, Thursday - Day of Ashura or commemoration of the prophets of the messengers of Allah.

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

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 in lunar calendar. Their New Year is not like ours at all. They don't have a Christmas tree, they don't drink to festive table champagne and do not set the table in new year's eve. This day they completely dedicate 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, the believers of this religion are in mourning and in every possible way are engaged in torturing themselves.
