Photo - professional occupation, the passion and vibrant passion of millions of people, so it is not surprising that she has her own “Birthdays”. And there are many of them. It is customary to celebrate holidays dedicated to beautiful art by holding exhibitions, master classes, serious seminars and fun flash mobs. Fans of the photo genre have several options for this.

First - World Photography Day. It began to be celebrated in 2009. It was no coincidence that proactive photographer Korske Ara (Australia) drew the attention of his colleagues to August 19. On this day, almost 200 years ago, the French government notified the general public of a breakthrough in technical progress- the emergence of a technique for obtaining daguerreotype prints. The authorities bought the patent for the invention from Louis Daguerre.

The French chemist did not invent the technology for fixing images on metal, but was the first to implement it, capturing the world's first frame on a silver-coated copper plate. In 1839 he practical use The discoveries were called "a gift to the world." The day when the first step was taken towards photography accessible to everyone, today has become a global holiday for everyone who has given their hearts to photography. Along with the professionals, those who appreciate the art of photography and enjoy taking pictures, even on a smartphone, congratulate each other.

If one holiday is not enough for you, pay attention to a professional Photographer's Day, which in the West, and more recently in the post-Soviet space, is noted July, 12. If for Orthodox Christians this is, first of all, “Petrovka”, dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul, then for Catholics it is St. Veronica’s Day. She, according to the church, was a contemporary of the Savior and helped him on the way to Calvary. She gave Christ water and a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his face. Arriving home, Veronica discovered that the imprint of the Savior’s image remained on the material.

A piece of fabric, which the Catholic Church considers to be Veronica's real scarf, is kept in Rome's St. Peter's Basilica, and July 12, by decree of the Pope, was made a photography holiday.

By an unusual and intriguing coincidence, he is connected with the world of photography not only thanks to his legendary patron. On this day the founder of the famous company Kodak was born.


Kodak founder George Eastman

Let us repeat, together with George Eastman, his slogan “photography is accessible to everyone” and will congratulate on July 12 and August 19 everyone who is professionally engaged in wonderful art, who likes to look at photographs or even pose for photographers.

Every year on July 12, people whose work is related to photography celebrate their professional holiday. This professional holiday there is a historical background, which is in no way connected with the invention of the camera and everything connected with it. On this day the Catholic Church celebrates Saint Veronica's Day.
This woman handed over a piece of canvas when Jesus, carrying the cross, ascended Golgotha. Miraculously, the face of Christ was imprinted on a piece of cloth. Almost two thousand years after this event, photography was invented and, at the behest of the Pope, Saint Veronica was considered the patroness of all photographers.
All holidays are on July 12th.
Also, by coincidence of fate, it was on July 12 that a man was born who was said to have given cameras to the whole world - George Eastman, the founder of Kodak.
By tradition, on this day, services are held in all Catholic churches in honor of St. Veronica, the patroness of all photographers.
Photographer's Day is not an official holiday, which is included in the register of memorable and festive dates of the Russian Federation. It is not a day off (if it falls on a weekday).

Congratulations to all Happy Photographer's Day!

Let your creativity prevail over making money, and bring pleasure to you, your clients, and ordinary viewers who admire your photographs at exhibitions, in magazines, on the Internet or just in an album! I wish everyone to always focus on more bright moments and not pass by beautiful things that deserve to be captured in history!

July 12 - Photographer's Day

Photographer's Day July 12 is celebrated as the day of Saint Veronica, who is considered the patroness of photography.

Saint Veronica, whose memory is associated with the miraculous image of the suffering Savior, became one of the most popular national saints, despite the fact that some church authorities and critical researchers spoke out against the historical authenticity of Veronica and her legend.

Let's try to restore the events. Betrayed and condemned to martyrdom, Jesus Christ walked to Mount Calvary, carrying His cross to be crucified. The procession was surrounded by a crowd accompanying the Savior to His suffering on the cross. Veronica merged with the human sea and followed Christ.

Exhausted, Jesus fell under the weight of the cross, and Veronica, taking pity on Him, ran up to Him, gave Him water to drink and gave Him her robe to wipe the sweat from his face. Returning home, Veronica discovered that the holy face of the Savior was imprinted on the fabric. This cloth of Saint Veronica eventually found its way to Rome and became known here under the name of the Icon Not Made by Hands...

During the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sudarium (sweatplate). Veronica also took a strong place in the mysteries of the Middle Ages and is still the main figure of the sixth station of the Way of the Cross.

It is believed that the name Veronica is a corruption of the Latin vera icon (“true image”) - this is how the “Veronica’s cloth” was called, distinguishing it from other images of Christ. The story of Saint Veronica first appears in the apocryphal Acts of Pilate, dating back to the 4th or 5th century.

The image and deeds of Saint Veronica have led to her being revered as the patroness of photographers and photography. Therefore, amateurs and photography professionals celebrate this day as photographer’s day.

The first photograph was taken in 1826 by the Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niepce, and is called “View from the Window”. The shooting time lasted 8 hours. It is known that the first photographs were black and white. The first color photographs appeared in the middle of the 19th century, and three cameras were used to create them - a light filter was installed on each (red, green and blue), and then the images were combined.

World Photography Day is celebrated annually in many countries on August 19th. On this day in 1839, the French government, which bought the patent of the French chemist and inventor Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre (Daguerre) on the method of obtaining a print (daguerreotype), made the discovery of the daguerreotype public knowledge of the world community - in other words, a wide range of ordinary people learned about the invention of the prototype of photography, reports Calendar.

July, 12
Saint Veronica's Day (according to the old calendar)*

Saint Veronica is the woman who gave Jesus a cloth to wipe the sweat from his face as he went to Calvary. The face of the Savior remained imprinted on the fabric. After the invention of photography, St. Veronica was declared the patron saint of photography and photographers by papal decree.

From the 4th century in the west there is a legend about Veronica, which grew widely until the late Middle Ages. One of the weeping women (Luke 23:27) gives Christ a cloth (sudarium) during his way of the cross so that he can wipe his face with it. Jesus presses it to his face and the imprint of his face remains on it. Soon this woman began to be identified with the woman who suffered from bleeding or with Martha of Bethany. From about the 6th century. In Upper Italy and Southern France, the story spreads in many versions that the seriously ill Emperor Tiberius heard about Jesus in Palestine and sent a messenger to invite Him. When he learns that Jesus was crucified, he angrily deposes and arrests Pilate. After this, he calls on a woman who suffered from hemorrhage, who depicted Jesus on a cloth during his lifetime. When looking at the image, the emperor is healed and baptized.

Later they began to say that the woman remained in Rome and bequeathed the card with the image to St. Clement before her death. Even later, it is reported that the woman allegedly went to Jesus with a handkerchief in order to depict him on it. And Jesus met her on the way and imprinted his face on the board. According to another version, Luke tried to draw Jesus three times in vain. Then Jesus himself miraculously imprinted his face, etc.

The legend of Veronica originates from the Syrian legend of Abgar from the beginning of the 4th century BC. The original version is reported by Eusebius c. 300: King Abgar of Edessa (Abgar Ukkama, 4 B.C. to A.D. 7 or A.D. 13 to A.D. 50; Edessa, present-day Urfa, southeastern Turkey) was terminally ill and sends a messenger Hannan (Ananias) with his message to Jesus, in which he asks him for healing and invites him to come to Edessa, thus avoiding the persecution of the Jews. Jesus answers him that he cannot come to him, since what was destined for him must be accomplished in Jerusalem, but that after his death he will send his apostle to him. After the Ascension of Christ, the Apostle Thomas sends Addai (Thaddeus), one of the 70 apostles, who heals Abgar with the laying on of hands and then preaches throughout the country. Soon the legend is supplemented by a new motif: Jesus sends his image along with a letter in response, which he printed by pressing his face to the board. When looking at him, Abgar is healed.

Like the legend of Veronica, the legend of Abgar was subsequently enriched with numerous variants. From about the 6th century. this is no longer Abgar himself, but his (imaginary) daughter Veronika takes the image for her father. The so-called Abgar is closely connected with the legend. Edessa image: in 544, an image of Christ was found on the city wall of Edessa above the city gates, which soon began to enjoy great reverence. It was considered an Acheiropoieton (not a human-made river). From this image, 2 copies were made, which later changed owners many times and presumably died in the era of iconoclasm (730-843).

The Byzantine emperor Tomanos I Lakapenos in 944 ordered that the original be transferred to Constantinople. The day of this transfer is still celebrated by the Byzantines on August 16. The knights of the fourth campaign of the crusaders stole it, along with many other relics, and took it with them to Europe. The churches of St. Sylvester in Capite in Rome, St.-Chapelle in Paris (it came there as a gift from Baldwin to Louis IX, in 1217) and Genoa (as if it were a gift from the Byzantine emperor, in the 14th century) claim ownership of this image. .).

The Edessa image is significant due to the fact that it represents the original source type for all images of Christ in the East, down to the present day. Claims about the possession of an “authentic” image of Christ appeared very early on. Irenaeus of Lyons reports before 200 that the adherents of Carpocrates (a Gnostic sect) allegedly possess such an “authentic” image. It was created as if from an ancient image that Pilate ordered to be painted from Jesus. It is striking that also in Italy, already from the 4th century. There are images of Christ that are similar to each other in expression and are clearly influenced by the Byzantine original type, for example, in the catacomb of Sts. Peter and Marcellinus in Rome (c. 400), on the portal of St. Sabina in Rome (beginning of the 5th century), on the mosaic in Saint Appolinare in Ravenna (c. 500), on the apse mosaic in the church of St. Cosmas and Damian in Rome (VI century).

In the oratorio of St. Mary ad Praesepem has been venerated in Rome since at least the 8th century. one image of Christ. It was called Vultus effigeis (image of a face) or Sudarium (plate, veil, handkerchief for wiping sweat). Inscription from the 12th century. calls it "Vera ikon" (true image), from which the popular name Veronyca comes. There is probably a sound similarity here with the above-mentioned Beronike. This is an image on a board, in a typically Byzantine manner (Serbia), framed by a cloth depicting the folds of a board; now it has changed beyond recognition, but there are numerous early copies of it, one of which is kept in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. "Veronica", up to the 13th century. was either the name of the image or the name of the legendary woman. Since the 14th century. The latter prevailed. Along with this, there are numerous other “images of Veronica”, which are passed off either as the “original” or as a copy.

During the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sudarium (sweatplate). Also in the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica took a strong place and is still the main figure of the sixth station of the Way of the Cross.

Already early on, church authorities, and later critical studies, spoke out against the historical authenticity of Veronica and her legend. Nevertheless, she became one of the most popular folk saints, whose day has been celebrated on February 4 since the 15th century (absent in the Roman Martyrology).

An unexpected discovery was made in 1950 by Prague doctor R.W. Hynek. He had long assumed a causal connection between ancient images of Veronica and Byzantine icons of Christ with the face on the Shroud of Turin. By photographically superimposing copies of the Turin face and the Roman copy, he established an exact match of all contours and proportions, including larger wounds and traces of blood on the face. Both images complement each other and create a very plastic, full of life portrait.

Thus, evidence is given that the Shroud of Turin is directly or indirectly the original type, the original example of all Western and Eastern images of Christ. The Shroud of Turin is considered to be the cloth in which the body of Christ was wrapped in the grave. Through the imprint of the corpse, she demonstrates with stunning realism all the details of his suffering. It was located in the first centuries in Jerusalem and other places in Palestine; in the 8th century through Asia Minor she came to Constantinople, from where the crusaders of the fourth crusade dragged her to Europe. A little later it appeared in Besançon, where it remained until 1349. From 1353 to 1418 it was in the possession of the founder of the monastery LereV near Troyes, from 1418 to 1578 in the possession of Messrs. Chambery. In 1578, she was carried across the Alps to Turin, meeting the wishes of the elder cardinal Charles Barromeus, who wanted to bow to her. Scientific research The Shroud of Turin in the modern sense began in 1931 and since 1973 is considered largely completed.

The authenticity of this relic is now recognized everywhere.

* * It was decided to celebrate Photographer’s Day on July 12, and not on the 25th, also because George Eastman, the founder of the Kodak company, who made “photography accessible to everyone,” was born on July 12, 1854.
