As for the production calendar for September approved by the government of the country, everything is quite simple with this month. None of the holidays listed above is a public holiday for which additional days off are declared.

Despite the fact that it is already September outside the window, the sun is not yet tired of warming people with its warm rays, so the chance for a good rest is not missed.

If you are used to planning everything in advance, then you will probably pay attention to holidays and weekends in September 2017 to understand when the long-awaited vacation time falls.

Rest in September is not only necessary, but also useful, because this is the only way to find the strength for long and productive work that will last a whole year.

Day of Knowledge

Many of us associate the arrival of September with the start of school, both in schools and in other educational institutions. But most of all this celebration is valued in schools. Large-scale “line-ups” are held here, with performances by students and their teachers, a timid first-grader rings the bell, and the director will delight everyone with kind words of parting words.

But if you go back a few decades, you will see that this holiday was not so significant before. What’s more, the beginning of the school year did not fall on the first of September. Only in the thirties of the 20th century was the exact date established when all students had to sit down at a school desk. In turn, in 1984, September 1 was designated as an official holiday. This is how he remains to this day.

Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism

First of all, this day calls on us all to remember the tragic events that occurred in Beslan in 2004. In that terrible year for North Ossetia, terrorists seized a school and, during the operation to free the hostages, about 300 people died, most of them children.

The Beslan tragedy left a bloody mark on the hearts of many people, and this date was set in memory of all those victims, of the courage that the most ordinary women showed in order to save the hostages.

The main task of the memorable day is to formulate among people the concept that terrorism can enter any home and it will not spare anyone. We need to fight it in every possible way and prevent it from spreading across the planet.

Terrorism must not flourish or be supported. The tragedy that happened in Beslan once again proves that a person can cause significant damage to an entire state. And the worst thing is that children are often pawns in the hands of terrorists.

World Day of Russian Unity

This relatively young holiday has not yet become a state holiday, but, according to some experts, in a few more years the government will legalize it. The main goal of the celebration is to preserve the ethnocultural identity of the Russian people, the unification of all Russian peoples, as well as a positive attitude towards all historical and ethnic values.

Church calendar for September

Any believer honors and remembers the days that are indicated in. Throughout the year, almost every day there is some kind of church celebration. September is no exception. Among all the holidays, we have identified the main ones when you can completely devote yourself to prayers and trust in the Almighty.

• September 11 - Beheading of John the Baptist
• September 21 - Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
• September 27 – Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Beheading of John the Baptist

This great holiday was established by the church so that people would not forget the martyrdom and death of the predecessor of Jesus Christ. People also call this celebration Ivan Lenten, because the church prescribed adherence to a strict one-day celebration. It was forbidden to sing, dance and organize lavish celebrations. In addition, you cannot do anything that in any way can remind you of the torment of John the Baptist.

Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

With the advent of this great holiday, services are held in all churches, where masses of people gather, eager to listen to sacred chants. It was on this day that the Most Pure Virgin came into our world, which is why all Christians glorify and remember it. The confessors assure that today you should pray about all the worries and anxieties that lie like a heavy burden on your heart. Not a single prayer will be left unattended.

Exaltation of the Holy Cross

On September 27, the entire Orthodox Church celebrates the day of the Exaltation of the Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord. In 326, in the city of Jerusalem, the Cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified was miraculously found. On this day, the Orthodox people keep a strict fast. You cannot eat fish, meat, dairy products and eggs. Only vegetable oil is allowed to be added to food.

Regardless of whether the month includes public holidays, which bring with them an additional day off for the entire working population of the country or not, each of us can find time for proper rest. You need to be able to relax on any day, squeeze out only the positive moments from it, and push away the negative as far as possible. Only this attitude will help you move through life confidently and always achieve your goals.

The first autumn month - September - still retains echoes of summer warmth, but a light cool breeze reminds us that the time of rest has come to an end and we need to get back to work with renewed vigor. Unfortunately, the weekends in September 2017 are only calendar ones, that is, Saturday and Sunday, but there are plenty of events that perpetuate certain events.

Holidays in September 2017 in Russia

We were all once first-graders and excitedly went to school for the first time, where a lot of unknown and interesting things awaited us. And then, having already become students, they hurried to the first lecture, feeling like completely grown-ups. The first day of September is forever fused in our memory with memories of studying, because it is on this not always fine day that the Day of Knowledge is celebrated.

Everyone knows that Victory Day is in May, but not many people remember that the end of World War II actually fell in September. The second of September is considered the official end of the bloodiest war in human history.

The cascade of September holidays continues with a day dedicated to the fight against terrorism. On the third day we remember those who became victims in peacetime.

Of course, all those who like active recreation and prefer a backpack on their back to sitting in front of the TV know that their holiday is also celebrated in September. On September twenty-seventh we honor all tourists.

We also celebrate Peace Day, which serves as a reminder to everyone of how important it is to preserve everything that we have, which was paid for at the cost of the lives of our ancestors who participated in numerous battles and wars.

It is noteworthy that all these holidays are not established as official weekends in September 2017 in Russia.

Knowledge Day - September 1

Invariably associated with the beginning of the school year, both in schools and in other educational institutions. But the biggest celebration, of course, is held at school. Each student’s morning begins with a line where the director addresses them, congratulates them on the start of the school year, greets first-graders and wishes everyone success.

But if we look at history, this was not always the case. And even the school year always began on the first of September. Only in the mid-thirties of the last century was the exact start date of the school year introduced in schools, technical schools and universities. But the day became an official holiday even later - already in 1984, when it was included in the corresponding decree.

Today, Knowledge Day is celebrated throughout the CIS countries and it follows approximately the same scenario as thirty years ago - smart schoolchildren rush with bouquets of flowers to their first lesson, excited graduates anxiously cross the threshold of higher educational institutions, looking hopefully at their future. And teachers and professors greet them every year with a smile and new knowledge. This holiday in September 2017 is, first of all, for those whose goal is to receive and give away new knowledge.

Day of the end of World War II - September 2

The surrender of Germany in May 1945 put an end to the intervention and war on the territory of the European continent, but the allied forces of Japan, which supported Hitler in his war, continued the offensive from the other side. At the Potsdam and Yalta conferences, the Soviet Union promised to declare war on Japan and support the allies in the fight against the enemy.

Following this word, the USSR troops entered into battle with the Japanese army and won several crushing victories for the enemy, not only throwing them deep behind the front line, but also liberating large areas of China, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Having been defeated and deprived of its main offensive forces, Japan was forced to surrender. The act of surrender was signed on September 2, 1945 on board the ship Missouri flying the US flag in the presence of representatives of the countries of the military alliance. This finally ended the Second World War, which lasted for six long years.

According to historians, almost two billion people and millions of pieces of equipment and aircraft were involved in the battles of World War II, and therefore to this day it remains the largest military-political clash between two coalitions of countries.

In memory of those soldiers who took part in the battles with the Japanese army and showed heroism and valor in the fight against the enemy, a holiday was established - September 2. But over time, it was abolished in the USSR, and with the collapse of the country it returned to the calendar again as one of the days of military glory of Russia. However, this holiday is not included in the number of days off in September 2017.

Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism - September 3

The day is dedicated primarily to the tragic events of 2004 that occurred in North Ossetia: a school was seized in Beslan and as a result of the attack, about 300 people died, more than half of whom were children.

This tragedy left an indelible mark on everyone's hearts, and in memory of the victims of the terrorist attack and those people, men and women who died there, fulfilling their civic duty and trying to save the hostages, this day off was established in September 2017 in Russia.

The main task of this memorable day is not to let not only the victims and the horror of what is happening be forgotten, but also to formulate the idea that terrorism can and should be prevented. As a rule, educational events, memorial events and charity concerts are dedicated to this day in cities and regions.

Their goal is to show how important it is to be tolerant of others, respect each other and other people’s beliefs, views on life and show tolerance towards your neighbors, because the best way to deprive terrorists of support is to remove confrontation among people and smooth out any conflicts.

International Day of Charity - September 5

Today, new technologies are actively developing and advancing, and progress is flying forward at cosmic speed, seemingly ahead of even time. However, one of the main problems of the planet remains unresolved - poverty. Widespread poverty, regardless of the status of the country, is a real scourge of the planet.

A huge number of people, residents of completely different countries and regions, still live below the poverty line. To remind people of the need to help and support others, do good deeds and share their warmth and care, another international holiday was established in September 2017. The UN General Assembly, trying to support the initiative of several countries at once, signed a corresponding decision in December 2012.

The date of the holiday was the day of death and memory of the world famous Mother Teresa, whose charitable work was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. She devoted her whole life to helping those in need: orphans, refugees, old people, the wounded and dying from epidemics became the meaning of her life. Her example should serve as a guiding star for those who decide to follow her path.

Charity is of great importance today, since several million people die every year from hunger and disease. Therefore, on this day, charity concerts, auctions, fairs and festivals are held. The proceeds from these events are sent to various funds to help orphans, hospitals, orphanages, nursing homes, the Red Cross organization, etc. But it is important to remember that you need to help not just one day a year, but every time you have the opportunity, when you see someone in need.

Day of the Battle of Borodino - September 8

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, historians and participants in the battle called it the bloodiest of one-day battles. The Battle of Borodino was supposed to be decisive in Napoleon’s entire offensive campaign in 1812, however, having encountered serious resistance from Russian troops, he never achieved his goal - Russia did not capitulate and failed to dictate peace terms to it, and after the emperor Napoleon had to retreat altogether and admit defeat.

According to researchers, in twelve hours of battle, the French army lost a quarter of its strength, while the Russian army lost a third. During the battle, the French managed to push the soldiers under the leadership of Kutuzov from their positions and occupy several strategic heights. However, after that they retreated to their positions, and Kutuzov himself announced a retreat due to serious losses and the lack of reserves to repeat the battle. And yet, both commanders - Emperor Napoleon and General Kutuzov - recorded the battle of Borodino as their victories. Napoleon believed that his soldiers showed superhuman heroism and valor, but the Russians were also worthy opponents in this battle. But Kutuzov noted that the French still retreated to their positions after the battle.

Today, on this holiday in September 2017, battle reconstructions are organized in Russia over the weekend, educational events, competitions and educational events are held. History buffs and spectators gather in the museum and on the Borodino field, ready to plunge into the historical atmosphere of the great battle.

International Day of Peace - September 21

We live in a relatively peaceful country where there have been no wars or military clashes for a long time. However, outside our state there are territories and entire regions where war is a way of life and children from a young age learn to live under the whistle of bullets and the roar of explosions.

That is why the UN decided to establish Peace Day to remind everyone of the value and importance of peace. Initially, the holiday was “floating” - it did not have an exact date and was celebrated every third Tuesday in September, but in 2001 the General Assembly approved the date - September 21.

Public organizations all over the planet call on this holiday to stop military operations and shelling of territories. The main goal of the weekend in September 2017 is to attract everyone's attention to the problem of peace. For this purpose, educational lectures, educational events and flash mobs are held, as well as conferences at which they discuss the problems of peace and ways to achieve and preserve it, share experiences and call on the warring parties to stop hostilities and agree on a compromise.

Every year a specific theme is chosen for Peace Day and everyone can express their opinion, take part in discussions and conferences, since with the development of the Internet this has become available throughout the globe.

World Tourism Day - September 27

If you have at least once traveled out of town to a river or gone on a trip to another city or country, you can safely count yourself among those to whom this weekend in September 2017 is dedicated - tourists! Of course, this is also a professional day for all those involved in this field - travel agencies and their employees, hotel and museum employees. All those people who provide a comfortable stay for visiting citizens of their own and foreign countries.

The main purpose of the holiday, established by the decision of the World Tourism Organization on the date this organization adopted its Charter, is to popularize tourism, promote its development and draw attention to its importance from a cultural, economic and social point of view. Today there are several types of tourism: ecological, cultural, extreme, educational, business and entertainment. You can safely go to get acquainted with new countries and corners of nature, learn the secrets of lost and fallen civilizations, or explore mountains and caves, descend to the seabed to see the Spanish galleon with your own eyes.

And, of course, you will meet people with whom you can exchange not only your impressions, but also learn first-hand about local traditions and habits, customs and peculiarities.

For some countries, tourism is the main source of government income and a way to fill the budget, so they are ready to provide their guests with comfort at the highest level, not forgetting, of course, about safety. During the September 2017 weekend and holidays dedicated to tourism, rallies, competitions, quizzes and trips, excursions and hikes are held all over the world.

Calendar weekends and holidays in September 2017 remind us of the importance of maintaining peace, showing tolerance towards others and the need for cultural and social exchange with people of different nationalities and religions. The more we know about each other, the fewer misunderstandings can arise.
