Photo - professional occupation, passion and flamboyant hobby 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 fine 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 has been celebrated since 2009. The initiative photographer Korske Ara (Australia) did not accidentally draw the attention of colleagues to August 19. On this day, nearly 200 years ago, the French government alerted the general public to a breakthrough in technical progress- the emergence of a technique for obtaining daguerreotype prints. The patent for the invention of power was bought from Louis Daguerre.

The French chemist did not come up with the technology of fixing images on metal, but he was the first to implement it by fixing the world's first frame on a silver-plated copper plate. In 1839 he practical use The discoveries were called "a gift to the world". The day when the first step towards photography was made accessible to all, today has become a global holiday for all those who gave their hearts to photography. Together with professionals, those who appreciate photography and take pictures with pleasure, even with 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 - St. Veronica's Day. She, according to the church, was a contemporary of the Savior and helped him on his way to Golgotha. She gave Christ water and a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face. Arriving home, Veronica discovered that the imprint of the image of the Savior remained on the matter.

A piece of fabric, which the Catholic Church considers to be the real Veronica's handkerchief, is kept in St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, and on July 12, by decree of the Pope, they made photography a feast.

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


Kodak founder George Eastman

Let's repeat together with George Eastman his slogan "photography is available to everyone" and we will congratulate on July 12 and August 19 everyone who is professionally engaged in wonderful art, likes to look at pictures 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 the day of St. Veronica.
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 July 12.
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. Not a weekend (if it falls on a weekday).

Congratulations to all happy photographer!

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 Image of the Suffering Savior Not Made by Hands, became one of the most popular saints of the people, 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 went to Mount Golgotha, carrying His cross to be crucified. The procession was surrounded by a crowd that accompanied the Savior to the 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 scarf to wipe the sweat from her face. Returning home, Veronica discovered that the holy face of the Savior was imprinted on the fabric. This veil of St. Veronica eventually came to Rome and became known here under the name of the Image Not Made by Hands ...

In the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sovereign (sweat). In the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica also took a strong place and is still the main figure of the sixth stop of the Way of the Cross.

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

The image and deeds of Saint Veronica served to revere her as the patroness of photographers and photography. Therefore, amateurs and professionals of photography celebrate this day as the day of the photographer.

The first photograph was taken in 1826 by the Frenchman Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, 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 (red, green and blue) was installed on each, 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 Mande Daguerre (Daguerre) on the method of obtaining an imprint (daguerreotype), made the discovery of the daguerreotype public to 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 a woman who gave Jesus, who was walking to Golgotha, a cloth to wipe sweat from his face. The face of the Savior remained imprinted on the fabric. After the invention of photography, by papal decree, Saint Veronica was declared the patroness of photography and photographers.

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 (Lk 23:27) gives Christ a cloak (sudarium) during his Way of the Cross to wipe his face with it. Jesus presses it to his face, and the imprint of his face is left on it. This woman was soon identified with the bleeding woman or with Martha of Bethany. Approximately from the VI century. in Upper Italy and Southern France, the story is spread 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 deposes and arrests Pilate in anger. After that, he calls on a woman who suffered from bleeding, who imprinted Jesus on a board during her 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 board with the image to St. Clement before her death. Even later, it is reported that the woman allegedly went to Jesus with a fee 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 three times in vain to draw Jesus. Then Jesus miraculously imprinted his own face, and so on.

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 in order to avoid 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. Approximately from the VI 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 Acheiropoieton (created not by a human 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 got there as a gift from Baldwin to Louis IX, in 1217) and Genoa (as if it was a gift from the Byzantine emperor, in the XIV century) claim to possess this image. .).

The image of Edessa is significant in that it represents the original source type for all images of Christ in the East, up to the present day. Already very early there were claims about the possession of an "authentic" image of Christ. Irenaeus of Lyon reports before 200 that the adherents of Carpocrates (a Gnostic sect) supposedly 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 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 St. Appolinara in Ravenna (c. 500), on the apse mosaic in the church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian in Rome (VI century).

In the oratory 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 (clothes, veil, handkerchief for wiping sweat). 12th century inscription calls it "Vera ikon" (original image), from which the popular name Veronyca is derived. Probably, there is a sound similarity with the above-mentioned Beronike. This is an image on a board, in a typical Byzantine manner (Serbia), framed by a fabric 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 Peter's Cathedral in Rome. "Veronica", up to the XIII century. was either the name of the image, or the name of the legendary woman. From the 14th century. The latter prevailed. Along with this, there are numerous other "images of Veronica", which are given out either as the "original" or as a copy.

In the Middle Ages, almost every church had an image of Veronica with her sovereign (sweat). Also in the mysteries of the Middle Ages, Veronica took a firm place and is still the main figure of the sixth stop of the Way of the Cross.

Early 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 since the 15th century (absent in the Roman Martyrology) has been celebrated on February 4th.

An unexpected discovery was made in 1950 by the Prague doctor R.W. Hynek. For a long time he assumed a causal relationship between the ancient images of Veronica and the Byzantine icons of Christ with a face on the Shroud of Turin. With the help of photographic overlays of 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, proof is given that the Shroud of Turin is directly or indirectly the original type, the original model 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 a corpse, she demonstrates with stunning realism all the details of his suffering. It was in the first centuries in Jerusalem and other places in Palestine; in the 8th century through Asia Minor it got to Constantinople, from where it was dragged by the crusaders of the Fourth Crusade to Europe. A little later, she appeared in Besancon, where she remained until 1349. From 1353 to 1418 she was in the possession of the founder of the LereV monastery near Troyes, from 1418 to 1578 in the possession of Messrs. Chambery. In 1578, she was transferred across the Alps to Turin, meeting the desire 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 are considered largely finished.

The authenticity of this relic is now universally recognized.

* * It was also decided to celebrate the day of the photographer on July 12, and not on the 25th, because on July 12, 1854, George Eastman, the founder of Kodak, was born, who made "photography available to everyone."
