Day of Belarusian Written Language and Publishing is a public holiday, which has been celebrated since 1994 on the first Sunday of September. Every year, the feast takes place in a new city. The idea to celebrate this holiday originated in the Belarus Ministry of Culture after the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of Frantsysk Skaryna.
In 2006, the president of Belarus “placed” the Belarusian first printer in St. Petersburg.
Frantsysk Skaryna lived in the years 1490-1541, and the city of St. Petersburg was founded in 1703.
