Realtor’s Day in Ukraine

on 9 October, Ukraine celebrates Realtor’s Day. This holiday was established in 1999 at the first All-Ukrainian Congress of Realtors.

This day is a day of congratulations to all professionals working in the real estate market – those who help people find, buy, sell and rent property.

World Postal Day

World Post Day has been celebrated since 1969 under the auspices of the United Nations.

The date of 9 October was chosen because it was on this day in 1874 that representatives of 22 countries signed the Berne Treaty and founded the Universal Postal Union. This organisation, in turn, became the prototype of the Universal Postal Union, which currently has 189 members around the world, including Ukraine.

on 9 October, all postal workers – postmen, operators, sorters, couriers and other employees who ensure the functioning of the post office – are congratulated.

Day of the emergency nurse

Today, the second Wednesday of October, is the Day of the Emergency Nurse. These October events in the first decade of the month are traditional and annual.

Since 1989, the second Wednesday of October has been designated as Ambulance Nurses’ Day, when ambulance nurses are recognised for their dedication to patient care.

in 2001, the Emergency Nurses Association set aside an entire week to celebrate in honour of all emergency nurses for their contributions.

What is the church holiday on 9 October

James the Apostle was one of the twelve apostles and the brother of the Apostle Matthew. After the Resurrection of Christ, Yakov took an active part in preaching Christianity.

Jacob Alpheus died a martyr’s death – according to legend, he was crucified on a cross or stoned to death because of his preaching. His memory is honoured in the church as an example of courage and loyalty to Christ.
