Ann: Do you like travelling? Bill: Yes, I like travelling very much. It is my hobby. I always take my camera with me and take pictures of everything that interest me: the ruins of ancient buildings, the sights of cities, views of mountains, lakes, valleys, waterfalls and even animals and birds. Ann: What countries you visited? Bill: Well, I was to Italy, Greece, Russia and India. Some day I will go to the United States. My cousin lives there. She invites me several times already. When I have enough money, I go to the States. Ann: I never was to any of these countries. When you were in Russia? Bill: Two years ago. Ann: Did you go there alone? Bill: No, I went there with my father. We visited Moscow and St. Petersburg, the most beautiful cities of Russia. Ann: I always wanted to travel to other countries, but I haven't the opportunity. I went to Germany in my childhood, but I haven't been anywhere since then.
Мы в году писали! Valentine's Day , Valentine ... Valentine's Day . Everyone knows about Valentine's Day, which helped unite the lovers secretly crowned them . But few people know that this was a special day in the 5th century AD and originated this holiday in Rome. That's when the Catholic Church decided to fight the widespread pagan rites and used for this martyrdom of one of their saints. But let's start from the beginning. Since the middle of the 4th century BC, the Roman Empire was the custom , dedicated to the pagan god Luperkusu (or faun ) . It is the god of lust , half man , half goat . February 14 in honor of the god of young people participated in the annual rite. День Святого Валентина, валентинки… День влюбленных. Все знают о Святом Валентине, который влюбленным соединиться, тайно венчал их. Однако мало кто знает, что этот день стал особенным еще в 5 веке нашей эры и зародился этот праздник в Риме.Именно тогда католическая церковь решила бороться с широко распространенными языческими обрядами и использовала для этого мученическую смерть одного из своих святых.Но начнем сначала. Уже с середины 4 столетия до нашей эры в Римской империи существовал обычай, посвященный языческому богу Луперкусу (или Фавну). Это бог сладострастия, наполовину человек, наполовину козел. 14 февраля в честь этого бога молодые люди участвовали в ежегодном обряде.
