EVENTS:

356 BC- In Asia Minor, the Temple of Artemis of Ephesus, considered one of the seven wonders of the world, was burned. We will arrive at this date or close to it if we believe two statements: 1) that the great commander Ancient World ALEXANDER THE GREAT was born precisely in October and 2) and that, according to legend, the temple burned down on the night of his birthday.


The inhabitants of Ephesus decided never to pronounce the name of the arsonist - a local Greek who, under torture, confessed that he had done this only in order to glorify his name. But the news of the destruction of the temple spread to other cities, and the ancient Greek historian THEOPOMUS named its name in his works - HEROSTRATE. Since then, to gain “Gerostratus glory” means to gain fame through the barbaric destruction of cultural or natural values.

1889 - In Paris, the Moulin Rouge cabaret opened its doors to visitors.


Not only representatives of the middle class gathered here, but also aristocrats, artists (Picasso, Wilde) and even members of royal families, for example, the Prince of Wales.

He came here every evening to watch the beautiful dancers, and, surrounded by a noisy, stuffy crowd, created his paintings here, which glorified the Moulin Rouge and himself.In 1915, the Moulin Rouge burned down, but in 1921 it reopened its doors to visitors. Now operettas and revues were staged here; The cabaret was also sometimes used as a cinema. During the war, the cabaret's activities were suspended, but in the post-war years the performances resumed. Among other artists, famous singers Charles Trenet and Charles Aznavour performed at the Moulin Rouge. In 1964, a giant “aquarium” was built on the stage in which naked dancers swam/performed.

It was invented and created by a native of Riga, Walter Zapp, who made the first sample with his friends in 1934, when he lived and worked in Estonia. While they were thinking about the value of the invention, Zapp sent letters to foreign companies. Famous German Agfa didn’t believe in the possibility of receiving high-quality images such a small camera, and the leadership of VEF invited the entire creative team, a special design bureau was organized here, and after a year and a half the new product was launched into series. The world's smallest camera cost $79, had dimensions of 80x27x16 mm, weighed 130 grams and allowed 50 frames to be taken on 9.5 mm wide film. When Soviet power was established in Latvia, production continued, but the inventor himself left his homeland and settled in Germany, where during the war years he created his own company with the same name Minox, which still exists today. The production of such spy equipment, the need for which did not decrease even after the war, continued, but the inventor was removed from leadership, and he spent the last half century of his long life in Switzerland. In 2001, Zapp came to Riga, and two years later he died at the age of 98.

IN Orthodox Church On October 6, the memory of the Prophet John the Baptist is honored. Usually this day turned out to be quite cold, and sometimes it was on October 6 that the stoves began to be heated. They said that on this holiday it is necessary to insulate the house, heat the hut, prepare firewood for the winter - according to signs, it will be easier to withstand it.

There was a widespread custom on October 6 to bake so-called nalivushki. To do this, they washed the potatoes and mixed them with egg and milk. Next, they poured it onto a rye flatbread and slightly folded it around the edges.

In the church on October 6, the memory of the holy martyr Iraida, who was popularly called controversial, is venerated. However, it was not a matter of love for discussions, but because the weather on October 6 was quite contradictory - it could get very cold, although the weather had been good before that.

They also pray to John the Baptist and ask him for mercy. John is known as the Forerunner and is a prophet who not only predicted the appearance of Christ, but also baptized him in the waters of the Jordan.

On October 6, they wondered about their own fate. To do this, they went to the confluence of two rivers and collected two jugs of water (equally divided). Then they brought them home and saw which vessel the water would evaporate faster from.

If there is less water in the vessel that contained water from a full river, then the problems will persist throughout the year, and vice versa. By the way, if a person had bad luck, they called him a poor fellow and tried to stay away from him so as not to become unhappy themselves.
