When sons are born in a family, it is a holiday for the entire family. Mothers teach them kindness, surround them with love, and dream that they will grow up to be protectors and helpers. And fathers teach how to drive a car, play football, and rejoice that they can pass on male knowledge to their heir. The boys grow, develop, and surprise their parents with their successes and pranks. That is why a world holiday called Sons' Day was established on November 22. The origin of this day is unknown, but the world has slowly begun to celebrate it. This is a celebration of the family circle, since every man is a son to his parents. Congratulations should be given to all representatives of the stronger sex. Creating a tradition of celebrating sons' day, you can buy a delicious cake and sit and drink tea together. And congratulate the growing defenders by giving them an interesting toy. But a worthy gift, of course, will be the love and attention of relatives. In addition, the holiday of sons provides an excellent opportunity to tell the future man how dear he is to the family, how proud he is in society, how with his birth he changed the fate of his parents, making them more responsible. Hoping to raise a worthy man from your son, you should raise him from childhood. A good example would be a father. It is important that dad sometimes devotes himself to his studies. Even when doing things that are not for children, be it repairing a car or choosing a new gadget, the father can give the heir useful knowledge. And then the boy will proudly tell his friends how he and his dad repaired the car! If for some reason there is no father, the role of mentor can be replaced by the eldest man of the family. Loving parents want to pass on the best that is in them to their son. When raising a little helper, you need to remember that the child is taught not only by moral teaching, but also by personal example.

Russian Psychologist Day is usually celebrated on November 22. Psychology is an important aspect for the modern world. The well-being of a person’s life, the growth of his potential, increased labor productivity, and a useful contribution to society directly depend on a person’s mental well-being. This branch of science goes side by side with the rest of the humanities. To be a psychologist means to be a versatile person with sufficient experience and extensive knowledge. The world was in no hurry to celebrate the psychologist's holiday. It was established after the World Congress of Mental Health, held on October 10, 1992. And in the Russian Federation, 1994 is considered the year the holiday was founded with the support of Moscow State University, when a meeting of the Russian Psychological Center was held in Moscow. It was not officially founded. Since then, psychology department organizations and universities have informally celebrated it on November 22. As a science, psychology is very young; it was recognized as such several centuries ago. But its roots begin from the times of ancient antiquity. Questions about the soul of the individual were described by Aristotle, Plato and other philosophers of that period. The term "psychology" was originally used in the 16th century, through the efforts of the philosopher Rudolf Gocklenius. The breakthrough in the improvement of science came in the 19th and 20th centuries, when the pressure of the church on society subsided. The main meaning of the Psychologist's Day holiday is the desire to remind people about the right profession. Traditionally, November 22 is spent focusing on psychological health topics, seminars and lectures at faculties not related to psychology. This industry suffers from low funding from the country's authorities. Many people need specialist advice. The services of a psychoanalyst cease to be a shameful treatment; on the contrary, it is more likely a tribute to fashion, but not without reason. It is no secret that our world is becoming tougher, people experience a lot of stress every day, sometimes a person needs support, help to solve a difficult psychological issue. The specialist will be able to listen to the client, help find the original source of the problem, and give valuable advice.

The Society of Lovers of Russian Literature sacredly honors the memory of the ethnographer, writer, lexicographer and folklorist V.I. Dalia. The scientist worked for 53 years on compiling the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language.” Academic publications of this kind were published before V.I. Dalia. However, it was his work that demonstrated not only the composition of the Russian language, but also the methods of its lexical enrichment (word production). November 22, V.I.’s birthday. Dahl celebrates Dictionary and Encyclopedia Day. The observations of the great ethnographer and lexicographer are of great value in the era of multiculturalism, the development of integration processes, the expansion of interethnic contacts and the blurring of linguistic boundaries. Over the past few years, many words of foreign origin have come into Russian - outlet, badge, vending, comeback, nickname, offline, flash mob and others. Borrowings are made according to the principle of tracing - direct transfer of lexemes, expressions and phrases. However, the Russian language is so generous, rich and even “redundant” in terms of word nests that it is able to form the names of new concepts using its own resources. Car sharing, streaming, fake, low-cost airline, webinar, grooming... These and other neologisms, called “foreign words” by Dahl, can easily be found in Russian using their roots and word formation rules. Language is the basis for the development of any ethnic group. Thanks to him, Russian people not only communicate, but also define themselves as a single whole. Language performs a cognitive function; its dictionaries record not only the meaning of words, but also their relationships, ensuring the continuity of generations. Scientific reference manuals are no less important for systematizing knowledge. In the tsarist empire, joint-stock company F.A. Brockhaus and I.A. Efron published a Russian encyclopedic dictionary from 1890 to 1907. Famous philosophers and scientists were invited to join the editorial team - D.I. Mendeleev, V.S. Soloviev, A.N. Beketov and others. The 43 volumes of the dictionary were a translation of the German version of the encyclopedia with a detailed presentation of issues relating to the history of Russia, its science, industry and culture. A large team of scientists has been working on fundamental works in the form of dictionaries and encyclopedias for a long time. Careful and painstaking work leads to the release of real masterpieces. Thus, the first volume of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia was published in 1920, the last - in 1990. The scientific reference publication has no analogues to this day. BES is one of the most authoritative universal encyclopedias in the world. From 2004 to 2017, the Great Russian Encyclopedia was published with more than 80 thousand articles, consisting of 35 volumes and a separate unnumbered one - “Russia”. Since April 2016, an electronic version of the BDT has been available. It is a beautiful and correct speech to talk about human culture. A broad outlook and encyclopedic knowledge are about a good education. Today, the most in demand are explanatory, spelling, phraseological dictionaries, directories of synonyms and combinability of words in the Russian language. Equally popular are the BRE, the Universal Encyclopedia of Cyril and Methodius and other scientific publications. Their importance and role in the modern world is difficult to overestimate. Therefore, November 22 is celebrated as Dictionary and Encyclopedia Day.

The assassination of US President John F. Kennedy in 1963 still excites minds and raises many questions, overgrown with conspiracy theories. In 2017, with the arrival of D. Trump as head of the White House, more than 2,800 materials on this case were declassified. On November 22, the United States celebrates Memorial Day for John F. Kennedy, who died in Dallas while driving through the city streets from a shot fired by Lee Harvey Oswald. In honor of the Day of Remembrance for President John F. Kennedy, flags are lowered throughout the country and wreaths are laid at the grave of the slain president, located at the National Military Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. In Dallas, on November 22, the city symphony orchestra gives a concert, the bells of all congregations and churches sound. D. Kennedy is known for his leadership qualities and energy, which helped him prevent the outbreak of World War III during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The President was a fearless fighter for justice. Thus, he learned that D. Bush Sr. was involved in the supply of drugs to the United States from South America. D. Kennedy was going to report this at a speech to Congress and the people. Another reason for removing the president from the political arena is considered to be his awareness of the connection between the country's ruling elite and aliens. According to this version, a conspiracy was organized against D. Kennedy, as evidenced by the details of the murder investigation. Conspiracy theorists and simply curious people are alarmed by many things in the FBI investigation and its results. Former Marine Lee Harvey Oswald shot the president in the head from behind, so the body should have fallen forward, not backward, as it actually did. It is impossible to fire 3 shots in 5.6 seconds from a rifle that was not self-loading, but the president’s assassin, who was considered a useless shooter, succeeded. The bullet disappeared somewhere (it is missing from the case file), and Oswald did not have time to give explanations on these and other issues - he was killed 2 days after Kennedy’s death. The former Marine did not admit his guilt either during interrogations, or in court, or during a brief conversation with journalists. In addition to the suspect in the assassination of the president, the surgeon who performed the autopsy on his body was found shot in his own home, and the taxi driver who gave Oswald a lift on November 22 died in a car accident. A cop and a journalist who visited his home after the tragedy were also shot dead. From 1963 to 1969, 62 important witnesses passed away under strange circumstances. The Day of Remembrance for President John F. Kennedy each year highlights how thorough and impartial the investigation was. And although the government is trying to convince the people that the US intelligence services were not involved in the preparation and assassination attempt on the leader of the nation, it is not succeeding very well. It is known that a few months before his death, Kennedy signed decree No. 11110 on the issue of national currency, bypassing the Federal Reserve. It is possible that the bankers participating in the game did not want to leave it, and instead decided to eliminate the head of the White House. The assassination in 1963 in Dallas of one of the most beloved and popular presidents among Americans and the circumstances of what happened are still not as clear as it seems at first glance. In September 2021, Joe Biden again classified the materials on the case - they are “not subject to disclosure” due to the obvious harm that could be caused to the country’s national security. This further fuels interest in the events of almost 60 years ago, giving an additional tragic shade to John F. Kennedy Memorial Day, which is celebrated in the United States on November 22.

Orthodox holidays November 22:

The celebration in honor of the icon of the Mother of God “Quick to Hear” was established in the 17th century and, according to the new style, falls on November 22. The date is due to the personal appeal of the Mother of God with the promise to grant ambulance help to all those in need and deserving of it. The prototype of the icon, which has survived to this day, was painted at the behest of the Monk Neophytos, abbot of the Dochiar monastery in the 10th century. It is located on the legendary Mount Athos - witness to many miracles and keeper of unique holy relics. But the icon, which became known as the “Quick to Hear”, did not show its power immediately, but centuries later - in 1664. In those days, this icon was placed at the entrance to the refectory. And monk Nil, whose duties included serving there as a cellarer, on duty often walked past the icon, lighting his way in the dark with torches or splinters. One day he heard a woman’s voice asking him not to smoke his bright face. But I thought it was a prank on one of the monks and did not attach any importance to what happened. After a while, he heard this voice again. But this was no longer a simple warning - Neil immediately lost his sight. Understanding came too late. But the monk sincerely repented, humbly accepted the punishment, told the rest of the brethren his story and began to beg for mercy before the icon. The monk's deep repentance was accepted by the Mother of God. After a while, specifically on November 9th according to the old style, the same voice turned to him with words of forgiveness and the gift of healing. The promise of an ambulance to all who applied was the main order, which was fulfilled, and the icon acquired its name. The brotherhood of monks, in honor of this kindness, began to rebuild the monastery: the entrance to the refectory was moved, and the place where the icon was located was turned into a chapel. A special position was created - the most distinguished of all the hieromonks had to constantly remain next to the image, performing a troparion - a short prayer. This is still observed today. The lamps standing in front of the image are evidence of healings and assistance provided, as well as a journal in which all miraculous events that occurred after the conversion are recorded. In addition to the restoration of vision, other beneficial actions are known, in particular healing from illnesses. The Quick Hearer also provides assistance to everyone who is confused and looking for a way out of a difficult situation. The iconography has its own distinctive features. Further lists from the prototype also represent the “Hodegetria” type of image, but the crown over the head of the Mother of God is a later addition. In Russia, veneration of the icon has spread since the 19th century. The most famous and, by the way, the most different image from the original source is the St. Petersburg list called “Nevskaya Skoroposlushnitsa”. The Mother of God is depicted on it without the baby Jesus - this was the vision of the one who painted the icon. This image was created on Mount Athos by order of Prince Sergei Alexandrovich and became a prayer icon of the Romanov dynasty. Today this face is kept in the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, and the celebration in honor of the icon is one of the main locally revered ones. Other famous lists, Lyutikovsky, Eleonsky, Kozmodemyansky, and Moscow, are no less revered. In the churches of the same name, a solemn divine liturgy is served and a procession of the cross is organized. Miracles from holy icons are an integral part of Christian Orthodoxy, and the example of the “Quick to Hear” is one of these.
