What a church holiday tomorrow March 2nd
March 2 in the church calendar – Memorial Day of the Holy Martyr Theodore Tyrone. He was a soldier in the city of Alasia (Pontic region of the Roman Empire), and the surname Tyrone indicates that he was a recruit. When Maximin was emperor, he was accused of setting fire to a pagan temple. Theodore and other Christians were forced to renounce their faith in Christ. However, in court, the young man boldly declared that he would not do this.
Then they brought him to Mayor Publius and threw him into prison to starve. But after some time they were found alive and unharmed. They again offered Theodore to renounce Christ, but he refused. They then handed him over to brutal torture. Then Jesus appeared to him, comforting and strengthening his strength. The young man was then sentenced to be burned. Theodore bravely entered the fire and gave his soul to God. Happened in 306.

What a day tomorrow will be in Ukraine and the world
March 2 is celebrated in Ukraine and all over the world International Competitions Day. Scientists believe that man mastered fire about a million years ago, but it gained special importance during the Neolithic Age. First, fire was made by rubbing two pieces of dry wood together. Later, mankind focused on a common mineral material – flint. Stone to stone can carve a spark. Even one is enough to ignite dry plants.
The prototype of matches was invented by the Chinese in the Middle Ages. However, this matter was not independent then. She was extra in the chair. Thin boards were soaked from different sides with sulfur and then used for smoking tinder. This greatly simplified the ignition process. In China, these bars were poetically called “light-bearing slaves.” They also reached European countries, but did not become popular.
The first self-igniting match was made in 1805 by Jean Chancel, an assistant to the famous French chemist Louis-Jacques Thenard. His head is made of sulphur, potassium chlorate, rubber and sugar. A special bottle containing concentrated sulfuric acid was used with it. The match can be lit after dipping it in it.
In 1826, chemist-pharmacist John Walker introduced matches made by rubbing on sandpaper. The invention had an unpleasant smell and could ignite at any time, even from a light blow. Phosphorus matches were developed by Frenchman Charles Soria in 1830. He added white phosphorus to potassium chlorate. The substance was poisonous and workers in factories suffered greatly from it. Eventually, chemists noticed that white phosphorus became non-toxic when heated (it also turned red). It was first used in the manufacture of matches by Swede Johan Lundström.
That too on 2nd March World Adolescent Mental Health Day. This is a new holiday that appeared in 2020 on the initiative of the American youth clothing brand Hollister. The company developed a program that helped various organizations concerned with the mental balance of youth.
and on March 2 CD Birthday. On this day in 1983 Polygram, Philips and Sony demonstrated the world’s first compact disc player in Great Britain. For example, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony was launched from his works. The first CDs were 12 cm in diameter and could only play audio.
