Valentine's Day , Valentine ... Valentine's Day . Everyone knows about Valentine's Day, which helped unite the lovers secretly crowned them . But few people know that this was a special day in the 5th century AD and originated this holiday in Rome.
That's when the Catholic Church decided to fight the widespread pagan rites and used for this martyrdom of one of their saints.
But let's start from the beginning. Since the middle of the 4th century BC, the Roman Empire was the custom , dedicated to the pagan god Luperkusu (or faun ) . It is the god of lust , half man , half goat . February 14 in honor of the god of young people participated in the annual rite.
День Святого Валентина, валентинки… День влюбленных. Все знают о Святом Валентине, который влюбленным соединиться, тайно венчал их. Однако мало кто знает, что этот день стал особенным еще в 5 веке нашей эры и зародился этот праздник в Риме.Именно тогда католическая церковь решила бороться с широко распространенными языческими обрядами и использовала для этого мученическую смерть одного из своих святых.Но начнем сначала. Уже с середины 4 столетия до нашей эры в Римской империи существовал обычай, посвященный языческому богу Луперкусу (или Фавну). Это бог сладострастия, наполовину человек, наполовину козел. 14 февраля в честь этого бога молодые люди участвовали в ежегодном обряде.

The Cosmonautics Memorial Museum This museum, the only one of its kind, situated inside an enormous monument to the explorers of the cosmos, is well worth the visit, not least for the nostalgia it should inspire in anyone who grew up in the heady days of the space race. The displays trace the history of space exploration, including the first interplanetary satellite flights, the first dogs in space and man's journeys to the cosmos. There's plenty of fun gadgetry, plus an excellently conceived display explaining how astronauts survive a space flight, all of which should be interesting for children. Apart from anything else, the shear aesthetic beauty of the displays should impress. The other-wordly sheen of the hi-tech materials used to construct space craft is extraordinary when seen close-up and, combined with a host of cosmos-themed artwork, the exhibition is a compelling reminder of the time when space exploration was still viewed unequivocally as mankind's last great adventure.
