When is Elderly Person's Day celebrated? Older People's Day is celebrated on October 1, the holiday is international. This date was not chosen by chance; there is some symbolism: autumn, like old age, is the golden time of our lives. Prerequisites for the appearance of the holiday in Japan The idea belongs to the Japanese Masao Kadowaki, who proposed to officially approve this day in 1947. The date was also proposed - September 15. At this time, the weather was good and the harvest was ending. A council of elders was held in the locality, who supported the idea of ​​​​the need to improve the lives of the elderly. Other villages and cities in Japan appreciated this idea and began to hold the holiday everywhere.

History of the approval of the Day of Older Persons In the 1970s, the problem of the rapid aging of the planet's population captured the whole world. In 1982, issues related to aging were discussed in Austria at the World Assembly. Ensuring a dignified old age has become a topic that concerns all countries of the world. Representatives offered various options and exchanged experiences. The UN did not ignore this initiative and proposed its own action plan. Thus, in 1990, an international holiday dedicated to the problems of older people appeared. The northern countries of Europe were among the first to celebrate Older People's Day, then the southern countries and the United States joined in.

The meaning of the holiday, or who is congratulated on the Day of the Elderly? This day was created to ensure that problems affecting the older generation are heard by society. Older People's Day is designed to help parents and grandparents adapt to a rapidly developing society. The interests of pensioners, the difficulties of the disabled, and financial difficulties should be the focus of attention on this significant day. Just paying tribute and learning from the experience of the older generation is worth devoting a little time to those who took care of each of us in childhood. Symbol The peculiarity of this holiday is that it has two symbols: foreign and Russian. The foreign one depicts a globe on a white background. There are ears of wheat around the ball. This logo personifies the scale and globality of the celebration. In Russia, the symbol of the Day of Older People is the image of a hand in the form of an open palm, which symbolizes participation and support for the older generation.

Celebration in other countries The holiday was first celebrated in Europe, especially in the northern countries, where the standard of living is much higher than others. Gradually it moved to the southern states and to the USA. Our own traditions have emerged. Due to their financial capabilities, various events are held on this day in different countries. But still, the main goal remains to encourage older people. In different countries this holiday has different names. In the USA, for example, this is National Grandparents Day, which means “Grandparents Day”

In China - “Double Nine Festival” The Double Nine Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month according to the Chinese lunar calendar, which is why it got its name. Since ancient times, Double Nine has been considered an important holiday. In Chinese, the word "nine" is pronounced the same as "longevity". Therefore, the expression “two nines” in Chinese is used to wish elderly people a long life. At the holiday, it is customary to show respect to older people. Thus, it has become a tradition that on this day young people pay tribute to older people, and they, in turn, have a good time. Many companies organize mountain climbing tours or other excursions for retirees. Young people take their elders to the suburbs or send them gifts on this day.

In Japan - "Day of Respect for the Elderly." But the name of the holiday does not change its essence - in all countries they pay tribute to older people. The international holiday was also supported by many other states in the territory of the former Soviet Union. On October 1, residents of Belarus and Ukraine, Latvia and Moldova, as well as Azerbaijan, honor their elderly.

What do we get from our grandparents?


"Can we say that old age makes us incapable of doing things? What exactly? Those that are characteristic of youth and require strength. But isn’t there anything that an old man would be capable of, that could be done with a sound mind and a weakened body?" (Cicero Marcus Tullius) International Day of Older Persons has been celebrated annually on October 1 since 1991 according to the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly (resolution 45/106 of December 14, 1990). In Russia, the Day of Older Persons is also celebrated on October 1 on the basis of the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation dated June 1, 1992. Public organizations and foundations organize various charity events on this day. While we are young, the thought of old age seems so distant and even impossible to us. It seems to us that we will always be young, but... Life is fleeting, years pass quickly, and at some point a person begins to understand that he is joining the ranks of grandparents. The purpose of holding the Day of Older People is to attract public attention to the problems of older people, to the problem of demographic aging of society as a whole, as well as to the possibility of improving the quality of life of older people. Together, countries can and must ensure that people not only live longer, but also that their lives are of higher quality, more varied, more fulfilling and more satisfying.


















When we turn one hundred, then let them call us elderly! Now only two thirds of life is behind us. We cannot call ourselves young, but we simply call ourselves mature people. We are “elderly” because our veins are strong, and there is still a sufficient charge of optimism. We tenaciously grasp at the experience of life, He is our compass and our priceless treasure. There is no need to lean us against a warm wall for now. It is not necessary to shout at us into a megaphone. We hear everything and see all shades, We continue to run the marathon! We are “elderly” because we have lived a lot. We have seen a lot, and we have been lucky in life. We raise our glasses to our maturity! We are not old people, to spite everyone!








It happens that life doesn’t spoil you, Sometimes it’s a complete mess, And only a kind grandmother will console you and understand. We are all small children for her, You will rush through the wind and rain, You will carefully press her emaciated palms to your lips. Tell me about hidden secrets, Yard battles. We are all her grandchildren, her heart hurts for everyone. For everyone, a good word will be found over evening tea, And a modest gift will be secretly placed in our travel bag. Grandmother has a bright room, There are no more kind eyes in the world. With her selfless prayer, I have been kept and warmed since childhood. He looks at me, smiles, and walks quietly: tick-tock. My joy, hello, grandmother, Forgive me if something is wrong.


Thank you for our life and happiness, May the past years not disturb you. Let troubles and misfortunes pass by, May your health never fail. We wish you not to lose heart! Laugh in spite of the years and troubles! We will admire you forever! Dear, young old people!


We remember the delicious cheesecakes that grandma baked for us. Homemade toys, made by grandfather in the morning. Tenderness, affection and warmth are now stored in memory. Carefree, a free bird, a glorious childhood passed by, bow and gratitude to you for your love and kindness! Life gives health and joy. There is peace and beauty in the house!


This poem is addressed to the dear, beloved, wisest! Let the sun shine through the window in the morning, inviting you to eat a pie, drink a cup of tea and get to work! Don't old people have enough of them? “No,” we will answer, easily and boldly! - “Pray to God for your granddaughters, go to the store, cook dinner, water Kalanchoya on the table.” May your guests never get tired of visiting you, either in the snow or in the slush!


Retired does not mean old! It is a mistake to talk like that about those, Behind whose backs there is brave experience, a worthy way of life, a good laugh! The elderly will tell us about their youth, And we will hear wisdom, good manners and purity of soul in every word. Let's note these qualities and add them to ours! How great: you exist! And on this great holiday, we are glad to congratulate you, grandchildren and children, and wish you success and a life full of light!


The wisdom of the years you have lived is hidden in your gaze by a crafty one, Light streams from your eyes surrounded by kind wrinkles, And you won’t even dare to call you old, And if you really need to, then only old. We wish you health, love, longevity, faith, So that it is joyful to walk through life slowly, So that your sense of proportion never lets you down, So that your soul warms your family and friends with warmth.






By 2050, the number of older people on the planet will increase from the current 600 million to 2 billion. DAY OF AN ELDERLY MAN A warm autumn day is gilded by the sun, The wind is preoccupied with joyful work. Swirls the fall leaves of Autumn for delight, caresses Gray hair for the Old Men as a reward. On this October day, at the behest of the century, nature honors the Elderly man! An elderly man is not old at all, it means he has come to life and has gained wisdom. It just might be like this..., a little tired, After all, he always led the youth forward. He shared his experience and knowledge from the bottom of his heart. He helped us with advice and his example. So please accept “thank you” from us with recognition, for your selfless work for the good of the country! This day is celebrated not only by Russia. On this day we glorify all the elderly, we are people, And we wish you only a happy old age! Be healthy, full of new ideas!
