On 21 January 2020, staff members of the Department of Guided Tours Organization of Bolgar Museum-Reserve Salimova G.I. and Gaifutdinova O.A. held an information and educational event “Courtesy Day” for the after-school group of Bolgar Comprehensive School №2 back to back with the World Day of “thanks”.
On 11 January, people celebrate the most “polite” date of the year – the World Day of “thanks” set by UNESCO and UN. What is the history of the word “thanks” (“spasibo”)? In ancient times, our ancestors saying thanks used only the verb “be grateful to”. They said, “I’m grateful to you!”, “I commend!” It was during the time when paganism dominated on earth. When Christianity came, the word “be grateful to” was replaced with “thank you” (“spasibo”). This word appeared in XVI century from the phrase “God save me” (“spasi Bog”). A grateful person is attentive and open to people, he notices any favor done for him. He is ready to do the same for others. All of us understand the meaning of good manners and their importance in everyday life, but most of our thanks we say casually, without thinking about their sense. However, the words of thanks have a magic nature – people use them to bring joy to each other, express their attention and give positive emotions. Without these things, our life would be boring and dark. People can thank one another using their look, smile and gesture – we call it “gratitude without words”. Giving presents is also a good way of saying thanks, but more often, we use this simple word, which has a great meaning – “thank you”.
At the event, children knew the history of the word “thanks”, participated in games, and watched a video about the importance of using this magic word in everyday life.
