On the eve of the celebration of the Day of Senior Citizens, a ceremony was held in the Kirov department of the Civil Registry Office of Kazan to honor couples who registered their family union 50 and 60 years ago
The day of an elderly person is generally celebrated on the first day of the second autumn month - October 1: this celebration has an international status. On December 14, 1990, the UN General Assembly decided to consider October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons, in order to draw public attention to the problems of the elderly. By the way, the date was not chosen by chance: there is an opinion that old age is a golden time, autumn, as you know, is also called a golden time, which is why it was decided to give the older generation a special day in the midst of the fall season.
In Russia, in 1992, a special resolution of the Supreme Council Presidium «On the problems of older people» was adopted, in which, on the basis of the significance of the UN recommendations, October 1 was declared the Day of Older Persons.
The team of the Kirov registry office of Kazan wishes the anniversaries the most important thing - health, joyful shine of eyes, not to lose their youth of soul and dreams, to share wisdom and experience with future generations.
