Today, April 14, all lovers of humor, and those people who always try to be positive and keep a good attitude, can join the International Day of Sudden Laughter, UNN writes.
The purpose of the event, which was founded in 1997 by writer Izzy Gesell, is to remind humanity of the benefits of daily genuine laughter and to engage in the expression of one's own emotions.
It has long been known that laughter can improve a person's health, reduce nervous tension, help fight stress, and make everyone happier and more confident.
On April 14, you should definitely laugh your heart out, cheer up your family and friends, spend this day with a positive attitude, and get into the habit of laughing. Don't despair if you're spending the holiday alone: create a cheerful mood with humorous TV shows, funny videos, favorite jokes, etc.
On April 14, football goalkeepers celebrate their professional holiday. The event was established in honor of the Colombian goalkeeper Miguel Calero, who was born on April 14, 1971, and tragically passed away as a result of a thrombosis in 2012.
During his career, Calero was not as popular as other goalkeepers of the time. However, he gained popularity due to his original style of play. Millions of fans around the world remembered the goalkeeper who came to games wearing a baseball cap.
As a member of the Colombian national team, Miguel Calero won the 2001 America's Cup.
Even today, events are being held to mark World Chagas Disease Day. The polya was established in honor of the fact that on April 14, 1909, Brazilian doctor Carlos Chagas first described this tropical disease.
Chagas disease is a parasitic tropical disease that often affects the poor. The disease is characterized by its asymptomatic development. Bedbugs are often the parasite carriers, and infection is also possible through the consumption of contaminated food, through the blood, from mother to child, etc.
Today you can still join the International Day of Good Deeds. The event was launched in Israel by philanthropist Shari Arison.
The global goal of the event is to do good deeds for the benefit of the planet and other people. Today, hundreds of thousands of volunteers from nearly 100 countries join the International Day of Good Deeds.
According to the church calendar, today is the Day of Remembrance of St. Martin the Confessor, Pope.
Martin was born into a wealthy family, but from a young age he decided to devote his life to serving the Lord. He went through all the steps of the church hierarchy and was elected Pope. He fought against heresy, but did not receive support from the hierarchs and authorities of Rome. Б
According to legend, he was exiled to Chersonesos, where he died in 655.
Martin and Anton celebrate their name days on April 14.
