On January 15, we celebrate a very important holiday in Russia - the Day of the Russian Prosecutor's Office. This holiday was established in 1995 by a presidential decree and is celebrated annually on this day.
The Prosecutor's Office is a body that exercises supervision over the observance of the law by government bodies, local authorities, officials, public associations, and business entities. The main tasks of the Prosecutor's Office include protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens, ensuring the rule of law, and combating crime.
On this day, all employees of the Prosecutor's Office are congratulated on their professional holiday. They are wished success in their difficult and responsible work, as well as good health, happiness, and well-being.
In addition to the Day of the Prosecutor's Office, January 15 is also celebrated as the Day of International Recognition of Croatia. On this day in 1992, the European Community recognized Croatia as an independent state.
Also, on January 15, the Orthodox Church celebrates the memory of Saint Seraphim of Sarov. Saint Seraphim was a great Russian saint who lived in the 18th and 19th centuries. He was known for his asceticism, humility, and love for people. Saint Seraphim was canonized in 1903.
On this day, people traditionally go to church to pray to Saint Seraphim. They also bake special bread called "seraphim" and give it to the poor and needy.
