When Tatiana's Day is celebrated and Student's Day in Russia

Perhaps there is not a single student in Russia who does not know when Tatyana's day is celebrated . It is on January 25 every year that all students of colleges and universities cheerfully celebrate this long-awaited event. However, very few people know why this special date was named after Tatiana, and who, in fact, is this very Tanya.

The history of this January holiday is rooted in the distant past. According to legend, as early as the 2nd-3rd centuries AD. in Rome, lived a Christian named Tatiana, whom the pagans forced to renounce Christianity and accept faith in polytheism. However, the woman recognized only one God. She began to pray to Jesus Christ, after which the pagan temple was destroyed by an unknown force. For this Tatian was subjected to severe torture for a long time, and after execution. After a while, the Christian church ranked the martyr to the saints. Therefore, Tatyana's day is, first of all, a church holiday, celebrated according to the old style on January 12 and, accordingly, on the 25th in a new way.

It takes a very long time, and already in January 1755, Empress Elizabeth signed a decree on the opening of the first university in the capital. It was founded in Moscow from two gymnasiums, and at first this event was significant for students only in the Russian capital. Only later it spread throughout the state. Thus, Tatyana's day became also the Day of Students, despite the fact that initially these holidays had nothing in common.
