    What’s this Bread Day about? I’m from here and for all my years I haven’t heard about it, and the Father’s day isn’t mentioned anywhere (sadly) and is not celebrated at all. They picked what they saw closest in the calendar to invite soldiers and use it as an angle of pressure their fathers and older siblings, making kids ask: why are you not on the war? Is daddy\bro a coward like that soldier told me? That’s said, it’s probably not that thought through and gets done just to tick boxes in the reports and probably get some coverage\funding to said kindergardens.

      What’s this Bread Day about?

      I had no idea either, its new after my time at least

      The holiday was established in 2006 on the initiative of the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Chefs. And the choice of date is due to the fact that on October 16, 1945, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was created, which dealt with the problems of developing agriculture and its production. Incidentally, another holiday is also timed to coincide with this event - World Food Day.

        Thanks for supplying me with further info. Yeah, it’s very young and doesn’t have it’s roots in paegan traditions like Масленица that is widely celebrated. So, probably, it doesn’t exist for anyone except these orgs.
