Birthday of a tube of toothpaste. In 1873, a New York pharmacist named Colgate thought of making a “sparse” powder-paste. This epochal work in the history of the Earth, however, did not immediately capture the hearts of the people. Pasta pharmacist Colgate packed in uncomfortable glass jars. After suffering for years in uncomfortable packaging, dentist Washington Sheffield heard about an American artist who, in the 1840s, kept his paints in tin tubes. Washington thought that such tubes, after a little modernization, could be used to store toothpaste, as well as all kinds of ointments and creams. The doctor was so enamored with the idea that he left the practice and seriously began making tubes of toothpaste.

The Orthodox Church celebrates the Day of the transfer of the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The lips of St. Nicholas was kept in the Lycian Cathedral until the Turks began to invade Greece and destroy its shrines.
Then the Christians thought about transferring the relics of the saint, and in the 11th century they succeeded. Now the remains of Nicholas the Wonderworker are in the church of St. Stephen.
Today, people celebrate two holidays: Nicholas Spring in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and Spring Makosh.
Saint Nicholas is considered the patron saint of horses. Therefore, on the night of St. Nicholas Spring, the horses were allowed to play all night in the pastures. Walked to Nicholas Spring and youth, organizing night round dances and lighting fires in the fields.
Spring Makosh, or Earth Day, is dedicated to the god of wisdom Veles and the goddess of fertility and fate Makosh. According to legend, it is now that the Earth finally wakes up from hibernation and comes into full force.
