Good bye, Christmas days! Hello, the Theophany!🙏🎄🌟

Theophany (from Ancient Greek (ἡ) θεοφάνεια theophaneia, meaning "appearance of god") is the appearance of a deity to a human.

This term has been used to refer to appearances of the gods in the ancient Greek and Near Eastern religions. While the Iliad is the earliest source for descriptions of theophanies in the classical tradition/era (and they occur throughout Greek mythology), probably the earliest description of a theophany is in the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The term theophany has acquired a specific usage for Christians and Jews with respect to the Bible: It refers to the manifestation of the Abrahamic God to people; the sensible sign by which his presence is revealed. Only a small number of theophanies are found in the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Old Testament.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theophany

I-It may seem naive a little, but a lot of people wait for the New Year as a chance to begin a new life: to give up smoking, to lose weight, to find a good job and so on.In that case the New Year night fo them is not just a reason to have fun but moreover, the night of inspiration and of" course they hope to get some magic that night.

S-Something fabulous will happen.

T- Tonight's December thirty-first.

M - Maybe the next year will be even better, full of pleasure, joy and fun.

A-Although our mind understands that really nothing will change, but at the same time our own inner voice inspire us that everything will be fine.

S-So we must dream while we are still alive (because there is no life without dreams). An the New Yera is a good reason to make new wishes.

History of International Thank-You Day

International Thank-You Day is an annual celebration observed on January 11th of every year. Often we forget to tell a thank you as is taken for granted. It is essential to show the gratitude from the bottom of the heart to those who made your life better and happier. The good manners of a person will be shown in the sense of words he/she uses. Of course, some say a thank you out of duty and not from the heart. As to mark the importance of telling a thank you, International Thank-You Day has been established. With this celebration Day in the calendar, one can understand how much a thank you mean. Never hesitate to utter this simple words which give more of sense.The history, origin, and the founder of International Thank-You Day are unknown. There is no mention regarding the year since this day has been celebrated. There is a mention that this Day has been created by some greeting card companies to promote the sale of greeting cards. However, this seems to be less appealing. Whatever the reason be, saying a thank you needs to be celebrated. Not every one of us will think of the ones who put themselves directly or indirectly in working for us. Few acknowledge the work of others by saying a thank you. For others, it is a Day that reminds us to be grateful for those who do things for you.
