Day of the Navy - what is it?

The merits of Russian sailors have always been highly appreciated by their compatriots, perhaps that is why the Navy Day is celebrated in several versions. Let's try each of them to pay attention. The first is the Day of the Sea and River Fleet, which was established more than 20 years ago, in 1980. He is celebrated and now, after all these years, on the first Sunday of July.

Sea voyage for each of us - the action is very fascinating. People who refused to swim on the liner during any cruise, probably just do not. But the opportunity to swim is provided to us by people who work in the role of a ship's crew. On this day of the Navy, the shipping workers are rewarded for their labor merit. And this is generally not surprising. These people carry cargoes, sometimes very voluminous. It is important that the transportation is carried out promptly and quickly. This is a very important process for the country's economy. Despite the impressiveness of the merits of sailors, they celebrate quite modestly.

However, the country has success not only in the peaceful field. In military terms, sailors often performed real feats. Many of them are marked in history as heroic. This is why one of the most popular and popular holidays in the country is the Day of the Russian Navy.

It is traditionally celebrated on the last Sunday of July. Celebrate it began already a very long time - in 1939.

At the same time, this day of the Navy is also the feast of Neptune. It should be noted that, despite the scale of the holiday, the behavior of the participants remains within the norm.

But it can not be called modest. The military celebrate the celebration with great enthusiasm. It is worth noting one distinguishing feature of the celebrations at the Black Sea Fleet - only there the sailors are changing this day to a uniform for the parade.

Water performance is an unusual and spectacular decoration of the holiday. This, at the same time, the event in honor of Neptune and the congratulations of the military seamen.

By the way, about this god. It has been considered the patron saint of seafarers since ancient times. This day is celebrated even in children's camps, where various performances are conducted with mermaids, water masters and Neptune himself.

As a rule, it is depicted with a trident, a beard and a crown. Around the bustle, fun, music, songs, jokes - a real holiday atmosphere.

Passing through the ancient customs. The captain of the floating ship asks the sea god to let him swim through his possessions. After that, Neptune gives good and baptizes the shipping industry with water. This event is the main one during the whole festival.

It is celebrated everywhere - even in modern resort towns, where it takes the format of a beach show, in hotels and sanatoria, various entertainment complexes.
