    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.
