Fire Day
On the day we are considering, a professional holiday is celebrated by the fire brigade, one of the most vital quick response services. He received his institution in the Russian Federation in 1999.
Absolutely everything - people and animals - are afraid of fire, its hellish flames "escaping to freedom". Only people know how to use it and get huge benefits from it. Fire helps humanity survive, but in inept hands it can turn into a real natural disaster, devouring everything in its path. Entire forests and settlements may become its victims. Fortunately, there is such a profession in the world as firefighters. They are brave and strong guys, at the cost of their own life they fight with fire, curbing it. Entering a battle with him, firefighters save dozens of lives every day and a huge amount of valuable things.
There is even a legend associated with this brave profession. She talks about a dog that really helped firefighters. During the fire, the dog, not afraid of the burning building, ran into it and saved the little girl. The baby cried, no one could understand what was the matter. And only one dog seemed to understand the child, she again rushed into the fire and carried out of the building ... a plastic doll. The girl immediately perked up.
Fire service is present in almost every locality. In order to call the guys, you just need to dial number 01 and name the desired address. In the shortest minutes, the team will certainly arrive at the scene.

April 30 on the folk calendar
Zosima the Apiary
On April 30, people commemorate the Monk Zosim Solovetsky - the saint of the Russian church, a jealous executor of the Law of God.
In Russia he was called the Apiary, because St. Zosim was considered the protector of bees and beekeepers. On this day, beekeeper peasants took beehives to apiaries, saying: "The swarm is swarming - to know, Zosima is having fun." And the behavior of the bees was judged about the upcoming harvest. If insects are active, there are a lot of loaves of bread today. But their excessive passivity testified to a rainy summer and, accordingly, a poor harvest. On Zosimov’s day, it was a sin not to taste the honey bee. However, they ate honey today, not only in its pure form, but also prepared all sorts of sweets from it - for example, the famous honey cake and sweet-sour sauces for baked duck. A variety of ointments and other medicinal warming and restorative drugs were also made from honey.

April 30, 311 - The signing by the Gallery of an edict authorizing the practice of Christianity
Galerius Maximian has been the ruler of the Roman Empire since 305. On April 30, 311, after reconsidering his views, he allowed the people to openly profess Christianity, as well as to promote its spread throughout the land. An edict was signed in sign of this consent. Researchers claim that at the beginning of his reign Maximian was an ardent opponent of this religion and in every possible way suppressed it, taking part in all persecutions of believers. However, he was soon struck by a serious illness, as a result of which Galery fell ill. No one knows for sure what caused the ruler to change his worldview, but a few days before his death, he officially allowed the population to propagate Christianity. Perhaps he hoped for "reciprocal gratitude" from the Almighty.
