Charity Day in Ukraine
Every year this day falls on the second Sunday of December.
The holiday was established by decree of Ukraine’s third president, Viktor Yushchenko, in 2007.
The decree states that government agencies will help support the initiatives and activities of charitable organizations.
World General Medical Day
This day has been celebrated under the auspices of the World Health Organization since December 12, 2016 – the anniversary of the first unanimous UN resolution calling on all countries to provide their citizens with affordable and quality health care.
World Candlelight Day
The second Sunday in December is dedicated to the memory of dead children, the grief of parents, relatives and friends. The fire of a lighted candle symbolizes the flame of the soul. The commemorative date began in 1997 in the United States.
For the first time, the event was a small online event in honor of children who lived tragically short lives for various reasons – due to illness, accidents, wars and more.
Many countries around the world now join World Candlelight Day. Millions of candles are lit in peace and quiet at 7 pm local time. Due to the difference in time zones, the wave of light travels around the globe throughout the day.
International Neutrality Day
The celebration was launched by the United Nations on February 2, 2017.
Neutrality is a position in which the state refuses to take part in hostilities. The policy of neutrality helps to strengthen peace and establish friendly and mutually beneficial relations between countries. The United Nations engages the world in resolving disputes peacefully and in preventing conflicts for public international peace and security.
Heavy Metal International Day
This musical genre appeared in the 60s and 70s of the last century thanks to the music groups Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.
The Heavy Metal Festival was initiated by Britain’s Iron Matthew Collins, an avid fan of heavy music. The man tried to choose a date that will be well remembered. So, the first holiday took place on December 12, 2012 – on the 12th day of the 12th month of 2012. From this began the tradition of celebrating the annual Heavy Metal Day.
World Choral Singing Day
The holiday falls on the second Sunday of December.
The choir is a group of singers who perform a vocal work together.
Choral art is considered to be the most popular form of music that has existed since ancient Greece.
The classification of choirs is very large: by composition (male, female, children), by number (small, medium, combined), by manner (academic, folk, pop) and by purpose (church, professional, amateur, opera, educational).
