May 12: What holiday is it today, traditions and prohibitions.

May 12 marks three important holidays worldwide: International Nurses Day, World Melanoma Day, and the commemoration of Saint Epiphanius.

International Nurses Day is one way to express gratitude to nurses for their important work and to recognize this profession on an international level. This day has been celebrated annually since the establishment of the International Council of Nurses. The nursing service was first organized by Englishwoman Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War. This day also celebrates World Melanoma Day, which aims to raise awareness of the spread of this type of skin cancer. Melanoma can be a cunning pathology that threatens a happy schedule. This day reminds us of the importance of regular check-ups and timely detection of problems.

On May 12, the Catholic Church commemorates the memory of Epiphanius - a Palestinian monk and bishop known for his struggles against heretics and the teachings of the writer Origen. Epiphanius is considered one of the early Church Fathers, renowned for his battles against Christian heretics in Palestine.
