Seasons

Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Folk calendar about every day

Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.

A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.

In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas...

Fishing calendar for every day

The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Orthodox calendar about every day

Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.

The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Many teachers of the lyceum are Honored Teachers of Russia.

Russian folk calendar for every day

The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...

Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs

In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...

General information about the Arkhangelsk region

Distinctive features .
The Arkhangelsk region is a region where Pomors have lived since time immemorial. This was the name of those who lived on the shores of the cold northern seas and were engaged in marine fishing. These were brave sailors who made long voyages to the Barents Sea, and even to the distant Spitsbergen archipelago. The great Russian scientist Mikhail Lomonosov was born in one of the Pomeranian villages not far from Kholmogory. Seasoned in sea voyages, young Mikhailo had enough strength to walk to Moscow in winter, overwhelmed by a thirst for knowledge. Pomors are not only excellent sailors, but are also famous for their skill in folk crafts, for example, in bone carving. The Arkhangelsk region is the largest region in the European part of Russia and the largest province in Europe. In area it is comparable to Ukraine, France and Spain.

One of the riches of the Arkhangelsk region is its nature. It has a special, northern beauty that you will not find either in Sochi, or on the Don, or in the Moscow region. Like rockets flying to the stars, spiky spruce trees, the predominant tree of the local forests, soar upward. And in these forests you can find an abundance of mushrooms and many forest animals and birds. Cranberries, a healthy and valuable berry, are also widespread in the Arkhangelsk region.

In the forest near Arkhangelsk

180 km south of Arkhangelsk is the Plesetsk cosmodrome - a multifunctional scientific and technical complex, the pride of Russia. More than 1,300 missiles were launched from it, which is even more than from Baikonur. Launches are carried out both for the Russian Armed Forces and for peaceful purposes.

The Arkhangelsk region also includes the Nenets Autonomous Okrug with its center in the city of Naryan-Mar. This city is located in such a remote place that the nearest railway station is located 350 meters away! km, and you can get to it only along a winter road. Or on dogs. As a last resort - on foot.

Geographical location . The Arkhangelsk region is located on the shores of the White, Barents and Kara seas.

The region also includes the archipelagos Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya.

Franz Josef Land is the place where the northernmost point of Russia is located. 192 uninhabited islands here are still waiting for their Robinsons. And they sometimes appear. These are scientists, border guards and rare postmen (here is the northernmost branch of the Russian Post - “Arkhangelsk-163100”). Located a little to the south, Novaya Zemlya was less fortunate - in 1954, a nuclear testing site was opened there.

The islands of the archipelagos, the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and three more continental regions of the region are regions of the Far North. The remaining territories of the region are equated to the regions of the Far North.

Crime . The Arkhangelsk region is in 31st place in terms of the number of crimes committed per year. They are very different in nature - from domestic murders due to drunkenness to serious mafia showdowns. There are also cases that are truly outrageous in their madness - rape of children, dismemberment maniacs and other subjects worthy of American horror films.

The unemployment rate in the Arkhangelsk region is almost no different from the Russian average - 5.35%. Moreover, this figure used to be much higher, and every year it is steadily declining. The average salary in the region is 27,755 rubles, which is not very much for such a harsh northern region. The highest salaries in the Arkhangelsk region are for those who work in the fishing industry (about 44,000 rubles).
