St. Bertold Day in Switzerland

St. Berthold Day is celebrated in Switzerland on the first day immediately after the new year celebration. This holiday in 1191 was established in honor of the foundation of the capital of Switzerland - the city of Bern (Berne) by order of the Duke of Bertold Fifth Tseringer, who was the ruler of Burgundy. Berne was laid by the Duke of Bertold on the banks of the Aara River, in order to protect Bertoldold's possessions from the West.
Duke Bertold once announced that this new settlement in his title would have the name of the animal, which Bertold was first shot on the hunt. Can you imagine if the capital of Switzerland now wore the name of roeli or quail? But the city of Bern was lucky, because the duke killed a bear and he was given a beautiful name, which is translated from German means a bear. It was the Bear that soon became a symbol of the city and the unchanged image on his coat of arms, and the inhabitants of this city were compared with bears, they said that Berns were the same respect as their symbol. But Bernets themselves say that it is all envy. Their canton was once the strongest and most largest confederation.
January 2 is officially a day off in many cantons of Switzerland, where from the 14th century every year there are various entertainment and solemn events: concerts, parades and folk festivities in honor of this holiday.
