World Bee Day
Bees are insects that play an important role in a healthy Earth ecosystem.
The date was established in honor of the Slovenian artist and the world's first professional beekeeper, Anton Janša, who was born on this day in 1734.
It is bees that provide people with yields of cereals, vegetables, fruits and many other products, pollinating more than 75% of cultivated plants. Without their tireless work, our food and ecosystems would suffer significant damage.
May 20 - Saint Martyr Talalei
According to some reports, in the III century in Lebanon, a young man named Talalei was born, who selflessly treated patients in order to alleviate both physical suffering and mental wounds. However, by order of the ruler of Aegaea, Emperor Numerian, who persecuted Christians, 18-year-old Talalei was ordered to be executed. However, the executioners Alexander and Isterius disobeyed the ruler and did not carry out the order, for which they were beheaded. Talalei was still executed.
