Volgograd residents told about holidays and folk signs on September 25

Orthodox holidays

On September 25, the feast of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God is given; the relics of righteous Simeon of Verkhotur (Merkushinsky) are transferred.

Also on this day is the memory of the Hieromartyr Autonomy, Bishop of Italy. He lived in the IV century in Italy, during the period of confrontation between Christianity and paganism. During his ministry, Auton managed to convert many pagans to the Christian faith. There were so many of them that he built a temple for them. The then-ruling emperor Diocletian ordered the capture of the bishop, but the clergyman managed to hide and continue to carry faith in the people.

Once converted to Christianity, pagans destroyed idol-sacrificed altars. The revenge of the pagans was the reason for the attack on the Christian temple during the Divine Liturgy. Saint Autonomy was tortured and killed, accepting a martyr’s death for his faith.

On this day, the name day will be celebrated: Alexei, Athanasius, Daniel, Ivan, Nikolai, Semen, Theodore, Fedor, Julian, Jan.

Secular holidays on September 25

September 25 is World Dream Day, a holiday established by the International Medical Association. Its main goal is to remind everyone that quality sleep is the key to health, as well as to draw attention to the amazing world of dreams, imagination and inner imagination.

Dreams are one of the most mysterious aspects of human life. Scientists still argue about why we dream and what they mean, but some facts are already known for sure. For example, about 12% of people dream in black and white, and the rest – color. According to various estimates, dreams occur between 18 and 38% of people. A person can dream 2 to 7 dreams in one night, although most of them are simply not remembered. It is also interesting that it is impossible to snore and dream at the same time – these processes are incompatible.

History knows many examples of great people who slept very little. Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Tesla and Churchill spent 3-4 hours of sleep a night, and this did not prevent them from making discoveries and running the state. However, science warns that if a person does not sleep for several days in a row, he will lose his identity, he will begin hallucinations and paranoid syndrome. Sleep is not a luxury, but a necessity.

There is good news for those who like to take a nap during the day. It turns out that those who regularly sleep during the day are less susceptible to cardiovascular disease. So a short day’s sleep is not laziness, but taking care of your heart.

World Dream Day is a great opportunity to think about how we sleep, what we dream and how sleep affects our lives. After all, a third of a person’s life is spent in sleep, and this third deserves no less attention than the other two.
