The final episode of "Zahlyane Sontsa" with Mikita Mielkaziórau has been released
In this episode, journalist and blogger tells why two Christmases are celebrated in Belarus. At the end of December, Mikita passed away.
“Belarus is the only country in the world where both December 25th and January 7th are considered public holidays. Why do we celebrate two Christmases and when is the correct time to celebrate?
We figure out how Batory introduced the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to progress and why the country became one of the first to adopt the Gregorian calendar. Why February 14th immediately followed February 1st, 1918, in Belarus, and what Lenin had to do with it. How did it happen that the longest bridge in the world was located in Belarus? And where did the word “Kalyady” come from in the Belarusian language.
In the new episode of “Zahlyane Sontsa,” we talk about why two Christmases and Old New Year are celebrated in Belarus,” states the video's description.
The “Zahlyane Sontsa” team announced that the project is currently taking a break.
“The project is currently on pause. We also need time to recover and understand what to do next. In the meantime, if you missed any episodes, please watch them,” the message reads.
Journalist Mikita Mielkaziórau suddenly passed away on December 20th, at the age of 37.
