The ancient Russian name for leaf fall or pazdernik (from "pazder" - waste from flax, hemp). Another version - this is how the wind was called in the old days, that it bared the trees, chipped in to the bones of the peasant. Pazdernik not only bare trees, but rips off a leaf from the branches. Pazdernik is a month of variable weather, a month of special signs about winter.

The common names for October are “grubby” or “bridal”, both names with a transparent etymology, and also “boons” - after all, at this time, flax and hemp were usually crumpled. Other names: first winter, winter, breast (cf. Ukr. Breast - December), leaf breaker, leaf fall (cf. Ukr. Leaf fall - November), baker, skits. The Ukrainian name is zhovten.

Among them there are purely professional ones. For example, Teacher's Day, which is celebrated on October 5th. This is a holiday for all Russians: everyone studied at school or continue to do so now, and are proud of those who gave or is giving a start in life, introducing them to a wide variety of knowledge. Schools on October 5 are full of flowers, smart children, their parents and, of course, the teachers themselves. Teachers are addressed warm congratulations and good wishes from everyone present.

Professional holidays include World Post Day, OMON Day, Ground Forces Day in Russia, etc.
At the same time, there are several unusual holidays, for example, International Smile Day, celebrated at the very beginning of the month. It is associated with the appearance on the Internet and in our life in general of a smiley - a yellow laughing face, created in ten minutes by the humble American artist Harvey Bell. The smiley was even stolen and became the trademark of a company with branches all over the world. But it is often used by those who travel on the World Wide Web. When communicating with each other on the network, we actively use funny, sad, puzzled, and with other mines on our face emoticons.

But the International Day of Older Persons in early October and the Day of Grandfathers and Grandmothers at the end of it have something in common. But the essence is the same - all over the world they honor the representatives of the older generation, who, even after retiring, do not remain idle - they help children in raising their grandchildren, in solving endless household and other problems. And these days there are flowers in families, as well as in offices where the elderly continue to work. Veterans are presented with gifts, bonuses in envelopes, they are presented with kisses and warm hugs.
In the second autumn month, a number of countries celebrate the days of gaining independence - Cyprus, Guinea, but the People's Republic of China in October acquired its new state status with communist ideology and the Communist Party at its head. With a population of more than one and a half billion, China is now a prosperous world power with a powerful economy, which literally in its rapid development is stepping on the heels of the United States, and after them occupies a leading position on the planet. A state was formed in October South Korea... He also has a developed economy, modern cities, goods of its production (cars, household and other appliances) are willingly bought on all five continents. In October, Republic Day is widely celebrated in Portugal.

Standing apart on the list of holidays in October is the twenty-fourth number - International Day of the United Nations. Created immediately after the Great Patriotic War on the initiative of the victorious countries, the UN has played and continues to play an important role in preserving world peace. But every year and month by month, UN International Day is dedicated to a specific theme. For example, January 27 is Holocaust Remembrance Day. February 4 is World Cancer Day. March 21 - World Down Syndrome Day. We all remember the sensational story in Nizhny Novgorod with the expulsion of the sister of the model Natalia Vodianova from the cafe because she was the carrier of this particular disease. And it can scare away the respectable audience from the establishment. A glaring case! And the end of his investigation has not yet been put. But the saddest and most disgusting thing is that it took place! So World Down Syndrome Day is more appropriate than ever!

There is no country in the world where holidays are loved so much as in Russia.
October on the calendar, a beautiful time, the trees are wearing golden clothes. But with every gust of wind, beautiful leaves fall, warm days are getting less and less.

Orthodox holidays

This is one of the beloved and revered holidays of the Orthodox people. It was erected to commemorate a great miracle that happened in 910. The Most Holy Theotokos appeared before the parishioners who prayed for the protection of Constantinople from the invasion of the barbarians. She covered the people with her omophorion and this protected the city. The barbarians were defeated by a terrible storm, and the miracle later became a symbol of intercession.

As the people said: on Pokrov before lunchtime it is autumn, and after lunchtime it is winter.
