Weekend January 2022: how to relax
In January, Ukrainians will leave for a long weekend twice / photo kidpassage.com
In the first month of the new year, Ukrainians will rest for 12 whole days. A very comfortable extended weekend awaits us twice. The first time it will happen at the start of the year, from 1 to 3 January inclusive. Since the holiday itself falls on Saturday, the day off is postponed to Monday.
Then you will need to go to work for only three days, and again you can go for a long weekend. Nativity falls on Friday, which means that we will rest January 7-9. Moreover, on Christmas Eve, January 6, the working day will also be made one hour less.
The week of January 3-9 will be the mildest work week in the new year. During this time, it is best to plan trips and travels. Hurry to take time off from work or take a vacation: you will lose only three working days instead of five.

Church holidays in January are no less than worldly ones. So, on the 7th, one of the most important dates of the Orthodox Church falls - Nativity. This is a favorite holiday of all adults and children, which has long ceased to be purely churchly. Now it is celebrated with pleasure in almost all Ukrainian families.
On January 8, believers celebrate Cathedral of the Most Holy Theotokos - a church holiday dedicated to the mother of Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary. This is a very important date, primarily for women: accepted on this day ask the Mother of God for health for her children and close relatives, and also pray that she will save the house from misfortunes for the whole year.
On January 19, the Orthodox Church celebrates Epiphany: on this day, according to legend, Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist in the waters of the Jordan River. One of the main traditions of the holiday is that in the morning you must plunge headlong into any open water body (pond, lake, river) three times. It is believed that after such a bath, a person will not only not get sick (even if it is freezing outside), but will also improve health for the whole year ahead.
But on January 25th it falls Tatyana's Day, which in our country is also considered to be Student's Day. Despite the fact that students in Ukraine have an official date (November 17), on this day, students of universities are sure to ask Great Martyr Tatiana of Rome for help and support. Among Eastern Christians, Saint Tatiana is considered the patroness of students and all who strive for education. Therefore, this day can be celebrated by both schoolchildren and adults.
