Old New Year: the magic of time and history! 🎄Tonight is the night when you can make a wish again, while the chimes are striking — albeit imaginary ones. The Old New Year is an unofficial but very sincere Russian holiday! 🎄Do you know where these "extra" 13 days came from? The story is like a detective story with time shifts! It's all about the different Julian and Gregorian calendars. 🎄Previously, Russia lived according to the Julian calendar and switched to the Gregorian calendar only in 1918, while the Russian Orthodox Church still lives according to the old style. 🎄Consequently, Christmas (December 25, old style) now falls on January 7, and the "old" New Year falls on the night of January 13-14. 🎄This holiday is a bridge between epochs, calendars and our traditions. The memory of the past and the comfort of the present live in it. ✨️Are you celebrating? Video: Ri00 #Russian_culture #brief_and_interesting 🟠RCR | Support | Boost
