Here on the Black Sea coast, close to the aggression war, Russia is waging on Ukraine, we are clearly seeing more than ever the political, diplomatic and military efforts of Bucharest in the past years, the president went on to say. Thanks to these, Romania is today benefitting from the most solid guarantees of security, and its citizens are defended and protected against any potential threats. Iohannis told the sailors that the devotion, tenacity and the spirit of sacrifice, which define them, are an example of excellence, and the Romanian Naval Forces are a symbol of the national strength and resilience. Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has also congratulated and thanked the sailors. \u2018Many happy returns\u2019 on this holy day of August 15<sup>th<\/sup> the day of St. Mary, the protector of sailors all over the world, Ciolacu wrote on a social network. Today, 122 years since the first celebration of Navy Day, Romania\u2019s Naval Forces are staging a series of events, such as demonstrative exercises, exhibitions of armament and military equipment, interactive workshops, cultural activities and concerts of military music in the major cities on the Black Sea coast, on the Danube and even in capital city Bucharest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>St. MARY<\/strong> Orthodox believers, who are a majority in Romania, and Catholics are today celebrating the Assumption of Mary, or St. Mary, an event which marks the Assumption into Heaven of Mary, the Mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ. St. Mary is the most appreciated human being by Christians after the Holy Trinity, whom they frequently invoke in their prayers. St. Mary is the patron saint of the largest number of monasteries in Romania and pilgrims, in large numbers, have already taken to these monasteries, which are renowned for their miracle-working icons and relics.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WEATHER <\/strong>Romania\u2019s Administration of Meteorology has today issued a series of code red, yellow and orange alerts for extremely hot weather in most of the Romanian territory.
