Everything that we keep in our hearts
And under blue sky
Russian flag over the Kremlin.
"Motherland" Z. Alexandrov.
If they say the word "homeland",
Immediately comes to mind
Old house, currants in the garden,
Thick poplar at the gate.
By the river birch - shy
And chamomile hillock ...
And others will probably remember
Your own and sweet home.
In the puddles the first boats
Where there was a skating rink recently,
And a big neighboring factory
A loud joyful horn.
Or the steppe, red from poppies,
Golden whole…
Homeland is different
But everyone has one!
hills, copses,
Meadows and fields -
native, green
Our land.
The land where I made
Your first step
Where did you ever go out
To the fork in the road.
And I realized that it
expanse of fields
Particle of the great
My fatherland.

Application
National Unity Day- one of the "youngest" holidays, although its origins go back to the distant 1612. It was a difficult time for our country. There was no peace and harmony either among the rulers or among the people. Moreover, foreigners were not averse to taking advantage of this situation in Russia in their own interests. But, as always in difficult years, the Russian people found the strength to unite and speak out with the whole world in defense of the interests of their homeland. It was not easy to win. Perhaps that is why the Russian Orthodox Church took the initiative to make November 4 a public holiday. After all, when the people are united, they are invincible. And this must always be remembered, and not only at a time when the country is in danger.
So what happened in 1612? After the death of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the Moscow throne staggered. The king had three sons. The eldest son died; medium, frail and weak, did not reign long. What happened to the youngest, Dmitry, is unknown. Whether due to illness, died, or because of an accident. But there was a rumor among the people that he had been killed. And the murderer became the tsar instead of Dmitry: Godunov Boris Fyodorovich!
It is difficult to say what kind of tsar Boris Godunov really was. He reigned for a short time. But the people did not forgive him for the death of Tsarevich Dmitry. And then there's crop failure, famine. Of course, the murderous tsar is to blame for everything: it is God who is punishing him! And a terrible time began in the Russian state, which historians called the Time of Troubles.
At that time, a runaway monk Grigory Otrepiev appeared in Lithuania and called himself Tsarevich Dmitry, who miraculously escaped! The Polish king recognized him and gave an army to win back his "father's" throne. Unexpectedly, Boris Godunov dies. And the boyars, without waiting for the approach of the Polish army, dealt with the children of Boris Godunov: they killed their son Fyodor, and imprisoned their daughter Xenia in a monastery. An impostor, False Dmitry I, reigned in Moscow. He began to prevent the Poles and boyars from ruining Russia, so they killed him, replacing him with another, False Dmitry II, who planned to put the Polish prince Vladislav on the Moscow throne. But the Polish king Sigismund said that he would sit on the throne himself and “Rus would become part of the Polish kingdom!”.
Then came the end of people's patience. Prokopy Lyapunov gathered a militia in Ryazan and moved to Moscow. The Poles and the traitorous boyars were frightened, drew up a letter with the order to disband the militia and offered to sign it to Patriarch Hermogenes as the head of the Russian Church. They say people should listen to him. But the patriarch refused to sign the letter and called on the Russian people to oppose the invaders. Lyapunov's militia was small, but the appeal of the patriarch flew around all Russian cities. Nizhny Novgorod merchant Kozma Minin was the first to give all his fortune to the militia.
The inhabitants of Nizhny Novgorod gathered a large army, headed by Prince Dmitry Pozharsky. The militia moved to Moscow. On the way, more and more people poured into the army. The whole Russian land rose up to fight the invaders and traitors. Prince Pozharsky turned out to be a talented commander. And Kozma Minin fought under the walls of the Kremlin as a simple warrior. The miraculous image of the Most Holy Theotokos was sent from Kazan to the militia. Knowing that the disaster was allowed for sins, all the people and the militia imposed a three-day fast on themselves and with prayer turned to the Lord and His Most Pure Mother for heavenly help. And the prayer was heard. The long-awaited day has come: the enemy army has surrendered to the mercy of the victors!
The new tsar generously rewarded Minin and Pozharsky. But the best reward for the glorious heroes of Russia was the people's memory. He erected two monuments: on Red Square - in the very heart of Russia - and in Nizhny Novgorod.
The celebration in honor of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, called "Kazan", was established on November 4 in 1649 in gratitude for the deliverance of Moscow and all of Russia from the invasion of the Poles in 1612. And to this day, this icon is especially revered by the Russian people. Since 2005, November 4 has been celebrated as National Unity Day.
Appeal of K. Minin to compatriots (from the book by A. O. Ishimova)
“Our faith and fatherland are perishing, but we can save them. We will not spare life and property for the deliverance of Moscow, we will sell our houses, we will mortgage our wives and children, and we will redeem the fatherland from trouble! God bless our enterprise."
What beautiful words, my friends! It's good that history has preserved them in all their accuracy! If they still delight us, then think about the effect they had on the assembled Nizhny Novgorod residents. Add to the fact that tears flowed down Minin's cheeks when he spoke them, that the holy fire of love for the fatherland shone in his eyes, and you will not be surprised that the effect of his words was miraculous. The inhabitants of Nizhny Novgorod shouted with one voice: "Let's die for Holy Russia!" - and the salvation of our fatherland was decided. All hearts, all souls, all thoughts, all desires of the Russians united in this cry. It resounded in all the remote places of Russia, it led all her faithful children to one goal, he inspired all her defenders with the same zeal. This zeal was unparalleled, it burned not only in the hearts of men, but also women. Not being able to shed their blood for their dear fatherland, they sacrificed everything they had to it: they removed diamonds and pearls from their kokoshniks and headbands, deprived themselves of all other precious jewelry and joyfully replaced emeralds and yakhonts, which shone so beautifully, with simple beads. on their necks and arms! I will tell you even more, my dear readers - even little children, looking at their parents, did the same: many rich boys did not want to wear gold buttons on their caftans, and girls did not want to wear expensive earrings and cufflinks, they brought all this to their mothers and asked them send it to the same public treasury of the people, where pure Russian gold was poured with such pure zeal.
How to celebrate this new holiday with such ancient traditions? November is the last month of autumn. The leaves from the trees, as a rule, have already flown around, it is drizzling, a chilly wind is blowing. On a day like this, I really don't want to go outside. It is best to climb on the sofa with your mom and dad, cover yourself with a warm blanket, and let mom or dad read aloud to the whole family the book “The History of Russia in Stories for Children”. It was written by the wonderful children's writer Alexandra Osipovna Ishimova back in the 19th century. The manuscript of the stories was seen and approved by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin himself. The history of the Fatherland, colorfully and figuratively told by a talented writer, cannot be compared with a boring educational text.
Reading can be interrupted by short tea parties. Believe me, an evening spent in a cozy family circle reading a book aloud will be remembered by everyone for a long time. This is something completely different than watching cartoons on TV and playing electronic toys! If there is no book by A. O. Ishimova in the house, it can be any other book that will be of interest to everyone: stories by Russian writers about animals, fairy tales by A. S. Pushkin, stories by Nosov, Dragunsky and others. Only that nation has a future that does not forget its past.

Return to an old tradition
On December 16, 2004, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted simultaneously in three readings amendments to the federal law "On the Days of Military Glory (Victory Days of Russia)". One of the amendments was the introduction of a new holiday, National Unity Day, and the actual transfer of the state holiday from November 7 (Day of Accord and Reconciliation) to November 4. The main reason for the transfer, according to many observers, was the desire to completely remove associations with the anniversary of the October Socialist Revolution (November 7, 1917). (slide 4)
The explanatory note to the draft law noted: "On November 4, 1612, the soldiers of the people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky stormed Kitay-Gorod, freeing Moscow from the Polish invaders and demonstrated a model of heroism and solidarity of the whole people, regardless of origin, religion and position in society".
Few people know that back in 1649, by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God (October 22, old style) was declared a public holiday. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century (May 8, old style), Kuzma Minin was remembered, whom Peter I called "the savior of the Fatherland."
Later, due to the revolution of 1917 and subsequent events, the tradition of celebrating the liberation of Moscow from the Polish-Lithuanian invaders and the day of the death of Kuzma Minin was interrupted.
Thus, we can say that National Unity Day is not a new holiday at all, but a return to an old tradition.
What are we celebrating?
On November 4 this year, Russia celebrates National Unity Day for the first time. This is not fictional, real, celebrated before the revolution for more than two and a half centuries, and today only revived, but incorporating new meanings, the feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. It was erected in the middle of the 17th century in memory of the liberation of Moscow in 1612 from the Polish interventionists by the militia of Minin and Pozharsky.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the Jesuits flooded Russia with "a wave of impostors and thieves." During this period of the Polish invasion (1605-1612), popularly called the "Time of Troubles"
The Russian Church was headed by the great confessor of Orthodoxy, Hieromartyr Hermogenes, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia. He was an admirer of the Kazan icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, which appeared in Kazan in July 1579 after a gigantic fire, the author of the "Tale" about her and the Service to her.
In 1610-1611. the first descriptor of the Kazan icon, already a Patriarch, did his best to thwart plans for the transfer of power to Vladislav and Sigismund, called on the country to fight the Poles, and blessed the militias. He was thrown into the prison of the Chudov Monastery and starved to death in early 1612. In 1914 he was glorified as a saint.
But then, in difficult days, when Moscow was occupied by the Poles, and strife and moods were spreading across the country, Patriarch Ermogen, being in custody, managed to secretly send an appeal to Nizhny Novgorod: “Write to Kazan Metropolitan Ephraim, let him send to the regiments to the boyars and a teaching letter to the Cossack army, so that they firmly stand for the faith, suppress robbery, preserve brotherhood, and as they promised to give their souls for the house of the Most Pure and for the miracle workers, and for the faith, they would have done so. Yes, and write to all cities ... speak my name everywhere."
The people of Nizhny Novgorod responded to the call of the primate. The assembled militia was led by Prince Dmitry Pozharsky. The Kazan squads who joined the militia brought with them a list from the Kazan miraculous icon, which was handed over to Prince Dimitri in Yaroslavl with the belief that the Most Holy Theotokos would take the militia under her protection. In the autumn bad weather, our army moved to storm Moscow.
The Russian troops experienced enormous difficulties: internal hostility, lack of weapons and food. The conquerors ravaged our homes, mocked our shrines. Then the majority of Russians understood that God allows this sorrow for the sin of apostasy; the people realized that any misfortunes in the Fatherland occur only because each of us sins. The reason for the misfortune of the country, the troubles of the state is in the sin of everyone. And then all the people and the army, who came from Kazan under the leadership of Prince Dimitri Mikhailovich Pozharsky and the merchant of Novgorod Kosma Minych Sukhoruk, imposed a strict fast on themselves to atone for personal sins and the sins of the whole people. And after a prayer service before the miraculous image of the Kazan Mother of God and a three-day fast, which all the people fasted, the Lord changed His will for our country. In the besieged Kremlin, at that time, Archbishop Arseny of Elasson (later Archbishop of Suzdal), who arrived from Greece, was seriously ill from shocks and experiences, was in captivity. At night, the cell of St. Arseny suddenly lit up with divine light, he saw the Monk Sergius of Radonezh, who said: "Arseny, our prayers have been answered; by the intercession of the Mother of God, God's judgment on the Fatherland has been turned over to mercy; tomorrow Moscow will be in the hands of the besiegers, and Russia will be saved."
As if to confirm the truth of the prophecy, the archbishop received healing from his illness. The saint sent news of this joyful event to the Russian soldiers. On the next major victory, they took Kitai-Gorod, and two days later, the Kremlin. On Sunday, October 25, the Russian squads solemnly, with a procession, went to the Kremlin, carrying the Kazan icon. At the Execution Ground, the procession was met by Archbishop Arseny, who left the Kremlin, carrying the Vladimir Icon of the Mother of God, which he had kept in captivity. Shocked by the accomplished meeting of the two miraculous icons of the Mother of God, the people prayed with tears to the Heavenly Intercessor.
After the expulsion of the Poles from Moscow, Prince Dimitry Pozharsky, according to the Nikon Chronicle, placed the holy Kazan icon in his parish church of the Entry into the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos on Lubyanka in Moscow. Later, the Kazan Cathedral was erected at the expense of the patriot prince on Red Square. The Kazan icon, which was in the troops of Pozharsky, was transferred to a new church in 1636. Now this holy image is in the Epiphany Patriarchal Cathedral of the capital.
In memory of the liberation of Moscow from the Poles, it was established to make a special celebration on this day in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, who was in the militia and became its main symbol. At first it was only a Moscow holiday, but since 1649 it has become an all-Russian holiday.
Don't break us
Oh, Russia, beloved side,
How could you let
To Judas soul
Could our union dissolve?Another people, other passions
They rule and rule as they should,
They have the right to life and happiness,
The same people were not found.The well-known intrigue -
Varangian and Germans "craft",
We will survive this yoke
To spite all our enemies.We will return the path of goodness and honor -
The path of peace, friendship and victories,
One great country together
Let's keep the whole world safe.Immortal homeland and eternal,
One spirit to whom to kill?
Enemies at least trample Russia carelessly,
Russia - is, and will live!

The history of this holiday began in 1649, when the Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich declared the feast of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God (October 22, according to the old style) a state holiday - in honor of the victory militia over the Polish-Lithuanian invaders in Moscow. The tradition to remember the heroes of 1612 - Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, who led the Russian people's squads - existed before the revolutionary events of 1917.
87 years after the cancellation, the holiday was restored. Instead of the Soviet state holiday of the Great October Revolution (November 7), which reminded of the division of the Russian people, National Unity Day was approved.
The upbringing of the younger generation on the examples of historical events that testify to the patriotism of the Russian people and the unity of the people for the sake of their country is, without a doubt, an urgent problem of our time. Kindergartens and schools have the opportunity to participate in the formation of children's patriotic feelings, including educational activities events on military-historical topics, education of tolerance, understanding of belonging to a single Russian people.
