Events of October 3

On this day, Catherine II established a new order, which was designed to eliminate inequality in the rewards of military and civilian officials.

The Order of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir of four degrees was awarded for excellence in public service. The order consisted of two parts. The badge is worn on a ribbon on the right side of the chest, and a four-pointed star on the left side. The motto of the order is: “Benefit, honor and glory.”

During the maritime conference in Berlin, the SOS maritime distress signal was established. The conference brought together representatives of 29 states. The invention of radio (1890s) made it possible for sailors to improve distress signals, which existed in the form of signal flags, fire signs, bells, etc.

The use of Morse code made it possible for ships to communicate with each other. Initially, the signal looked like CQD (“Come Quick, Danger”), from the word danger.

Boris Yeltsin signed a decree introducing a state of emergency in the Russian capital. Representatives of the opposition in the White House came under fire from tanks brought into Moscow. A considerable number of deputies did not recognize the decree as lawful and refused to implement it.

They tried to remove Yeltsin from power. Vice President Rutskoy was sworn in. Barricades were erected on the streets. Opponents of the decree stormed the television complex in Ostankino and the mayor's office. The opposition's resistance was broken only in the evening of October 4.

Usually on Astafyev’s day it was customary to chop cabbage, because it was believed that right now cabbage is the most delicious. Also, on October 3, the millers' holiday was celebrated, since on this day a strong wind almost always blew, and the mills worked precisely with the help of this element.

By the way, in the minds of the people, the miller was an unusual person, and many said that he had supernatural abilities or was associated with evil spirits. Although, on the other hand, in Rus' they knew that this person was irreplaceable. At the same time, they said that it was very difficult to independently build a mill and grind grain without evil spirits.

They believed that the miller made a human sacrifice to the waterman so that he would help him in the future. And to do this, the miller pushed the person into the pool or under the mill wheel. However, whether this is true or not is unknown. Then the waterman had to be reminded of this annually by pouring vodka into the water or throwing bread into it.

People said that it was a stone's throw from the pool to the inferno, since prayer services were never held at the mill. Also, near the mill, people tried not to walk in vain, because they were afraid of a woman and a dog, since this is exactly the form that evil spirits can take. All these beliefs were supported by various fairy tales.

They said that the merman was visiting the miller, and the mermaids were washing their hair under the mill wheel. They were even more afraid of a destroyed or abandoned mill, because they believed that ghouls were sitting on the roof, and devils could be seen on the pillars. If a traveler accidentally entered this disastrous place, then, according to signs, he could go missing.

In the church on October 3, the memory of St. Eustace of Rome, a martyr who was previously a military leader under Emperor Titus and Emperor Trajan, is honored. After he saw the image of Jesus on the cross between the antlers of a deer while hunting, he decided to convert to Christianity.

After this, two sons of Eustathius and his wife were baptized. Fate tested Eustathius - his cattle died, his servants died, and when Emperor Hadrian came to power, paganism began to flourish in the country. Since Eustathius refused to make a sacrifice to the gods, he was tortured and killed for this.

For the first time, a large blackboard appeared in the classroom, on which the teacher wrote explanations and assignments.

The exodus became especially widespread when Hungary removed barbed wire from its borders with Austria. On November 9, 1989, not without the assistance of Gorbachev, the Berlin Wall, which had served as a symbol of the disunity of Germany for 28 years, ceased to exist.

October 3 according to the folk calendar:

On this day, the memory of the Great Martyr Eustathius of Rome, a military leader who served the emperors Titus and Trojan, is honored. The image of the crucified Savior appeared to him between the antlers of a deer while hunting, after which he decided to accept Christianity. His wife and two sons were also baptized. Eustathius had to endure many misfortunes, but neither separation from his family nor the loss of property and livestock could break him. After enduring the ordeal, he again found his wife and relatives, and became a military leader. When the next emperor, Hadrian, came to power, Eustathius refused to make sacrifices and commit idolatry, for which he was martyred along with his family. Since ancient times, this day was called “Astafiev winds” and the direction of the wind was observed. The saint himself is called "Windmill". “The windmill blows every way” - catchphrase, which has survived to our times. The north wind predicts cold, the south it warms, the west rain and the east a good harvest of winter bread. On this day, it is important to remember other signs, for example, a spider web flying in the air in warm weather indicates that the cold snap is not coming soon. Millers celebrated their professional holiday at Astafia Windmill windmills. On this day, late cabbage begins to be harvested; slightly frozen heads of cabbage acquire a special taste and are well suited for pickling.
