Mikel is the Archangel Michael, fighting against all the dark forces of evil. On icons he is most often depicted as a warrior-defender, the patron of God's people in their struggle for freedom.

Anyone who has read simply the stories of oriental authors, of course, remembers the fascinating description of oriental bazaars. Multilingual speech, dazzlingly bright colors, unimaginable aromas floating in the air, simply burst into reality, coming off the pages of books.

It is also interesting that they were often the center of cultural, political and social life. The bazaar was located in the central city square. Nearby there could be not only the ruler’s palace, but also a mosque.

For example, in “History of Bukhara” by Muhammad Narshahi - 899-959 we read: “Where the Mokha Mosque is now located, there was a plain on the river bank, where there were a lot of trees, so trade took place in their shade. The king went to the market and sat on the throne in the place where the Moha Mosque is now located to encourage people to buy idols... Subsequently, there was a temple of fire worshipers at this place: on the days appointed for bargaining, people gathered here, everyone entered the temple and worshiped fire. This temple existed before the establishment of Islam here, when the Muslims, having become stronger, built their mosque on this place, and now it is one of the main mosques of Bukhara.”

But bazaars and fairs appeared long before Christianity and Islam. Even before our era, with the emergence of the first states, such as Mesopotamia... They were also in Ancient Greece and in Ancient Rome.

And already market squares were considered sacred place. Altars of various deities were installed in the markets: Zeus, Hermes, Athena, and it was believed that the markets were under the protection of these deities.

The first known fair in Western Europe The fair in Saint-Denis near Paris is believed to have taken place in 629. Fairs became the most common form of trade in Europe during the Middle Ages.

In the XIII - XIV centuries, one of the busiest places of trade was located in France in the county of Champagne, where fairs were held all year round. In the second half of the 14th century, most of the fair trade moved to Lyon and Geneva.

And in the 15th century, the city of Bruges in Flanders became the center of fair trade in Europe.

Fairs were also held in Germany in Frankfurt am Main and Leipzig.

Many that originated in the mists of time continue to thrive today.

From time immemorial, Rus' has had its own fairs.

My great-grandmother told me how my father took the whole family to fairs before the revolution. Before this, the mother dressed the children in all the best, dressed herself up, and selected the most beautiful shirt, trousers, hat and boots for the father.

For children in those days, the fair seemed like a fairy tale come to life. They were taken to a puppet show, bought various sweets, Balloons, they admired the bears dressed in national Russian costumes - they beat the tambourine and danced under the supervision of the gypsies and their shouts of approval.

Judging by the admiration and excitement with which my great-grandmother indulged in memories, how her eyes lit up and grew younger and her cheeks turned pink, fairs gave her many happy hours in her childhood.

In Rus', fairs appeared in ancient times, and were first located at the intersection of trade routes. Merchants passing by with their goods could not resist the temptation, stopped and began to trade. Peasants and artisans living nearby also sold their goods at fairs. The transport of the first fairs was horses, on which goods were brought and taken away.

Since ancient times, the government in Rus' not only did not interfere with fairs, but also contributed to their emergence. For example, Princess Olga organized graveyards where people could trade their goods. And Tsar Peter I believed that fairs promoted domestic trade turnover and established trade relations with foreigners.

Once upon a time, fairs were called markets, auctions, and only much later, when they blossomed in such major cities, like Moscow, Novgorod, Pskov, Ryazan, they were called fairs.

Perhaps it was from the fairs that the so-called Russian scale began, which so amazes foreigners in our time. The Venetian ambassador Contarini, who visited Moscow in the 70s of the 15th century, and the merchant Josafato Barbaro left admiring memories of the Moscow auction.

The word “fair” itself most likely came to us from the West. So, for example, the German diplomat Sigmund von Herberstein, who traveled around Russia at the beginning of the 16th century and visited one of the auctions on the Mologa River near the town of Kholopiem, later wrote in his “Notes on Moscow Affairs”, calling Russian bargaining with the word “jahrmarkt” that was familiar to him. " - "fair".

V.I. Dal explained that “a fair is a large trade congress and the delivery of goods at the most urgent time in the year, an annual trade that lasts for weeks.”

Any fair, as a rule, was a huge, diverse and noisy crowd of people trading, buying and simply curious. Then the merchant Fourier proposed introducing trading “rows”, placing traders in a line. Now buyers and sellers did not mix with each other, and relative order emerged.

The first major fair in Nizhny Novgorod took place in the second half of the 14th century.

The largest fair in Russia was Nizhny Novgorod, which was first called Makaryevskaya, since it was located near the walls of the Makaryevsky Monastery, which stood 90 km from Nizhny Novgorod down the Volga River in 1641.

In 1817, after a fire, the fair was moved to Nizhny Novgorod, however, for a long time it continued to be called by the name of its predecessor Makaryevskaya.

Bread from Samara and Saratov, fish from Astrakhan, leather and furs from Siberia, and iron from the Urals were brought to the fair in Nizhny Novgorod. Foreigners also went to the fair, calling the Nizhny Novgorod fair a Russian caravanserai. Trade was carried out on it, both wholesale and retail.
By the middle of the 19th century, the total number of traders exceeded 15,000 thousand.

There was also a fair near Kursk; the first mention of it dates back to 1708. Since 1824, it began to be called Korenskaya, and merchants from all over Russia began to come to it.

The Russian poet Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet called the Kursk fair an “exhibition of brides.” And he wrote: “All the passages were covered with fresh grass, along which, arriving in numerous carriages, dressed up ladies walked. Every now and then cavalry officers flashed by in full uniform with sabers trailing.”

At the Kursk fair, according to the writer Gilyarovsky, nightingales were sold. At that time they were not cheap - 100 rubles for one singer in a cage.

Later the Ural Fair appeared.

It is interesting that at the fairs, various medicines of various healers, condoms made from bull bladders, and popular prints with bright pictures, which replaced books for the poor, were in great demand at the fairs. But it was the fairs that contributed to the development of folk crafts.

Almost everything was sold at the fairs! Horses and other livestock, grain, flour, honey, sugar, printed and unprinted gingerbread, haberdashery, all kinds of fabrics, hats, embroidered jackets, shawls, fur coats, felt boots and much more.

In the old days, at fairs, it was not only a sin to weigh and shortchange the buyer, but it also tarnished the honest name of the seller.

The indispensable participants of the fairs were buffoons, merchants, gypsies with bears, and fortune tellers.

In 1894, more than 18,000 fairs were held in Russia with a turnover of 1,100 million rubles. There were fairs, both one-day and lasting a week and even more than one month.

I really love it when fairs start in our city. Fair on central square The city operates three times a week - on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. It starts in mid-August and lasts until November 1st. Sellers come to it from different places, usually from the cities of the Volga region. But most of all, of course, local farmers selling organic agricultural products.

Village products are eagerly purchased by city residents, and tourists are happy to buy souvenirs and crafts created by the hands of local craftsmen.

The shelters at our fair place kittens, dogs and even parrots and monkeys in good hands. All animals look well-groomed, those who wish receive business cards and can visit the shelter, a win-win lottery is played in favor of animals that cannot find owners and remain in the shelter. This is a bit of a sad note... In all other respects, the fair is only encouraging.

For example, we buy honey only at this fair. We also buy Astrakhan fish, Vologda oil and other goods there.

And another one of my personal joys is that at this fair you can buy inexpensive books in good condition.

And, probably, there will be nothing wrong if you thank their patron Saint Michael or Mikel for the fairs, because the fair is actually the very holiday that brings together people of different nationalities and views.

In 2018, everyone will be able to visit New Year's fairs in the main city of the country. The bazaars, combining European beauty and primordial fair culture, will be located in parks and squares, under open air and in shopping pavilions. To prevent the fun from passing by, every Muscovite or guest of the capital is advised to familiarize themselves with the schedule of winter events.

New Year's fairs in Moscow simply cannot be imagined without the traditional Christmas market on Red Square. Most likely, in 2017-2018, the unique market will begin its work in November and end on February 28. Each citizen will have enough time to fully study the program offered by the city authorities.
