🍂Autumn holidays🍁

Belarus celebrates many autumn holidays. For example, Mother's Day, Knowledge Day, October Revolution Day and many other holidays.

•Knowledge Day•

In the Republic of Belarus, September 1 is celebrated as the Day of Knowledge. Schools hold festive events and solemn lines dedicated to the beginning of the school year. Traditionally, a thematic first lesson is organized in Belarusian schools. For children who will enter the walls of the school for the first time, this is a joy. But for many other students, it is grief.

•Mother's Day•

The history of Mother's Day is rooted in a religious holiday - the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, in all Orthodox churches a festive service is held on this day. It is believed that in 910 in Jerusalem the Mother of God miraculously revealed herself, during the service, many people saw the Mother of God in the sky, which covered all those praying with a wide white veil (or cover), trying to protect all the children of God. That is why Mother's Day in Belarus is timed to coincide with such an important holiday in the Orthodox religious tradition.

On this day, children try to please their mothers with various gifts or crafts.
