A long weekend is the dream of any employee who has worked all year. It is especially nice when such a weekend falls on warm, sunny days, and you can go outdoors. May Day holidays are the best time to relax. Ahead of the weekend in May, how to relax these days, what kind of transfers, you must definitely clarify and think through so as not to spoil your vacation.
Where to find out the number of days off?
In order to know exactly how we relax in May, you just need to look at the production calendar. It is thanks to him that a work schedule is compiled for many enterprises and organizations in Russia. It shows how many days off for a month and what transfers will be made. Based on pre-known information, you can easily plan your vacation.
May transfers
This year, holidays are mixed with workers, and there is no way to relax normally, for example, go to nature with an overnight stay or go on a visit. A working day will also not be productive, as people left the holidays for 2 days, and then rest again. The work efficiency on these “working” days will be very low. Therefore, the government decided to make the so-called transfers. Expose them not one week before the holidays, and not even a month. To learn more about how we relax in May, you need to start as early as the month of April.
How do transfers take place in 2018?
The last weekend in April comes on the 28th and 29th. This is followed by Monday, the 30th, and it should be a business day. But by decision of the Ministry of Labor, the days off and holidays decided not to break. As a result of this, a decree was created stating that Monday, April 30, is postponed to Saturday, April 28. Also on January 7, a transfer was made to Wednesday May 2. That is, it turns out that the May holidays will last as long as 4 days. Also another additional day off this month is May 9th. This day is Victory Day.
Important May Holidays
Before wondering how to relax in May, let's recall what happens this month. The last spring month is marked for all Russians by two significant holidays - Day of Spring and Labor and Victory Day.
The first holiday appeared in the Soviet Union. Even then, he became loved and gained his popularity. At that time, May 1 was more political in color, as it was necessary to attend the May Day demonstration.
Currently, this day is significantly different from the past. Since now people are simply happy about the onset of spring, the state provides an opportunity to rest for several days from working days. Not surprisingly, everyone wants to go somewhere in nature, out of town. There are also those who in May Day holidays want to visit their summer cottage and put it in order, carry out the first garden work in order to get a good harvest.
The second holiday, May 9, is a day that every person will remember about, regardless of when he was born. For all Russians, this is a day of remembrance for those who laid down their lives for the freedom and independence of us and our children during the Great Patriotic War. May 9 is great for kids, as we officially rest in May on this day. Rallies, celebrations, concerts, marches, parades are held throughout the country. And not only adults but also children take part in them, since they understand that this is a story that you need to know and read.
May holidays calendar
How to relax in May? A calendar will help you find out. There will be 11 days off in May. This counts based on Saturdays and Sundays. There will be only 20 working days.
And this is not the most pleasant. In May there are many memorable dates and professional holidays.But they do not apply to weekends. For example, on May 5, diver's day is celebrated; May 7 - Radio Day and so on.
Moon calendar
There are so many days ahead when you can enjoy nature and fully relax from the hustle and bustle. On holidays in May, we rest properly and in accordance with the characteristics of the stars. What does the lunar calendar say about May?
The new moon will take place on May 15th, and the full moon will come on the 29th. The most successful days of this month are 1, 2 and 7. Even the stars say that this month will be successful, because May 1 is a day off, and plus, this is also the most successful day. In the first half of the month, you should abandon haircuts, as a not very good result may come out.
Despite the good days, the full moon and many holidays, there is another very important point that will happen this month. We can say that this is a cosmic event. Just in early May, it is planned to fly another landing module to Mars. Previously, technical problems did not allow this.
11 countries are engaged in this flight, and this mission is called upon to investigate the history of the origin and formation of such planets as Mars and Earth. The task of the landing module is to collect temperature and seismological data that are located in the depths of the red planet. For many years, all planetologists have dreamed of exploring Mars. Maybe in May this dream will come true.
Religious holidays
In addition to the fact that there are a number of public holidays that are considered official holidays, important religious holidays are also present in May.
May 17 - Ascension of the Lord. It is considered the largest Christian holiday. Celebrate it 40 days after Easter. May 23 is the day of the Apostle Simon Zealot. Very few people know about this day. But, despite this, this holiday is very important, because they remember about Mother Earth Cheese.
The well-known Trinity holiday is celebrated on May 27. It is considered one of the most significant Orthodox days. It is on this day that the trinity of God is recalled. It is customary to ask for forgiveness for all your sins, to illuminate the vegetation and be sure to visit the church.
It is necessary not only to know how to relax in May, but also to remember thanks to whom all these holidays have appeared, and to be grateful to them.
