The Republic of Belarus is situated in the center of Europe. Our Motherland borders with 5 countries. They are Poland, Lithuania,

Latvia, Russia and Ukraine. The capital of Belarus is Minsk. There are 6 regions in Belarus. They are Brest, Grodno, Grodno, Gomel, Mogilev, Minsk and Vitebsk.

We live in the Brest region. Cornflower, bison and stork are the main symbols of Republic.

There are a lot of beautiful places in Belarus. Mir Castle is one of the most famous attractions in Belarus. The castle is a fifteenth-century Gothic-style building with a rich history, and as one of the country's most popular destinations outside the capital city of Minsk, the Castle of Mir brings travelers back to another point in history. While much of the architecture and design, especially in Minsk, brings visitors back to the Soviet-era of cold, grey buildings, Mir Castle exposes visitors to the history that existed before this time.

National Park "Braslav Lakes“ is one of the most beautiful places in Belarus. Water ecological systems with diverse and sometimes unique flora and fauna are the main wealth of Braslav Lakes. They have more than 800 types of plants, 20 of them are rare and disappearing, they are registered in the Red Book and are under the State protection. There are more than 30 types of fish in the lakes.

The National library is the most valuable object of cultural heritage of the Belarusian nation. It is the main information and cultural centre of the country. Its depository collections include 8 million items of various media. In 1993 the National Library of Belarus started to create its own electronic information resources. The library service is in great demand. More than 90 thousand citizens of Belarus are library users, who annually request 3.5 million documents. In addition to serving as a functional library, the National Library is a city attraction. It is situated in a park on a river bank and has an observation deck looking over Minsk.

There are a lot of interesting holidays, customs and traditions in Belarus.

Maslenitsa (also known as Butter Week, Pancake week, or Cheesefare Week), is a religious and folk holiday. It is celebrated during the last week before Great Lent — that is, the 7th week before Easter. The most characteristic food of Maslenitsa is pancakes, popularly taken to symbolize the sun. On Sunday evening, Lady Maslenitsa is stripped of her finery and put to the flames of a bonfire.

Kupalle is the most loved and celebrated pagan holiday in today’s Belarus. It took the name of a female God - Kupala. There is a whole complex of loved rituals, beliefs, love and magic. Like in ancient times, Kupalle is celebrated in the night from 6 July to 7 July. During the day of 6 July young girls went into the forests and the meadows to collect plants an herbs. It was believed that the plants gathered at that time had special magic and strength and could protect people and their homes from illnesses and evil spirits.

Independence Day is celebrated on 3 July and marks the liberation of Minsk from fascist aggressors.

The occasion is marked with a large military parade in Pobeditilei Avenue. Independence Day demonstrates the achievements of a sovereign Belarus and reminds the people that by suffering great loss, they have won the freedom of their country.

Our Republic is wonderful! We must proud of it.
