Father's Day in Belarus (October 21): how to congratulate the Pope

Father’s Day in Belarus, which is annually celebrated on October 21, closes the Week of parental love. This young, but already beloved Belarusian holiday is a great opportunity to remind the main man in your life how much you appreciate and love him.

Official receptions and festive concerts are wonderful, but personal, family moments make this day really bright. If banal socks and shaving foam are long in the past, we offer a selection of non-banal and soulful ways to congratulate the Pope.

Free Hello from Childhood: Send a White Postcard

The easiest, but incredibly touching way to remind yourself is a real paper card. By tradition, Belposhta launches a festive event.

On the eve of the holiday, you can send a postcard to any locality of Belarus free of charge in designated communication offices throughout the country. Sign it by hand, remembering your common family joke or a warm childhood memory - Dad will definitely keep this news for many years.

Men's Weekend: Organize a mini-journey

The best gift for your father is your time. Focus on his hobbies and spend the weekend together:

• For lovers of history and technology: Go on an excursion to the legendary BELAZ in Zhodino or visit the Museum complex of ancient crafts and technologies "Dudutki".

• For outdoor fans: Book a house in a picturesque farmstead on the Braslav lakes or in the Belovezhskaya Forest, arrange an autumn fishing or cook kebabs together in nature.

Nostalgic Film Evening: 'Include' Memories

Have a remembrance night. Get the whole family together, cook Dad's favorite dish and digitize old home video archives or review paper photo albums.

If you want technology, mount a short video to his favorite music from your youth, collecting there funny and meaningful shots: from dad’s fishing to general trips to the country.

Ticket for a "male" master class

Even if your father is a master of all trades, the new experience will bring vivid emotions. Give him a certificate (or go together):

• Master class on forging metal in a real forge.

• Lesson of extreme driving on a specialized circuit (especially relevant before the start of the winter season).

Tasting craft cheeses from Belarusian farmers or cooking workshop for the preparation of perfect steaks.

What do I tell Dad? (Ideas to congratulate in your own words)

If it is difficult to find words, just say, but from the heart. The main thing in fatherhood is to feel a reliable support.

“Daddy, thank you for your equanimity, for always being safe, safe and secure with you. Your advice is my main guide in life. Let your health be strong, and in the garage and home always reigns perfect order. Happy holiday
