The Church today honors the memory of St. Basil the Decapolites. He lived in the 7th-8th centuries, was a monk and a Christian confessor. He is famous for the fact that even in difficult times he did not deviate from the Christian faith.
And in Thailand, March 13 is celebrated as National Elephant Day! The celebration is celebrated by holding large-scale events. But, if earlier Thais celebrated this day exceptionally joyfully, today with a share of sadness. The number of elephants in the country is drastically reduced. A century ago, there were about a hundred thousand wild and domestic elephants in Thailand, and today there are only 3-4 thousand. Despite the fact that in the wild they are practically non-existent.
