World Bread Day
“Bread is the head of everything.” Russian proverb.
One of the most popular products in the world, without which, perhaps, not a single day of our life can be done, is, of course, bread. Therefore, it is not surprising that he has his own holiday - World Bread Day, which is celebrated annually on October 16.
The holiday was established in 2006 on the initiative of the International Union of Bakers and Pastry Bakers. And the choice of date is due to the fact that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was created on October 16, 1945, which was engaged in solving problems in the development of agriculture and its production.
Today in any country in the world, bread and bakery products enjoy the same love. Even now, when many adhere to various diets, replacing bread with low-calorie bread, galetnym cookies or crackers. People of different nationalities always treated the bread and their breadwinner with care and anxiety. He was given the most honorable place on the table, he was and remains a symbol of life. And in the old days bread was also the main sign of wealth in the family and well-being in the house.
By the way, the history of bread goes back several millennia. According to scientific research, the first bread products originated about 8 thousand years ago. Outwardly, they looked like cakes, prepared from grits and water and baked on hot stones.
But it is believed that the first yeast bread learned to do in Egypt. And already then bread was considered the breadwinner and was associated with the sun. And it was even designated with it (in early writing) by one symbol - around with a dot in the center.
And in the old days, white bread was mainly used by people from the upper class, and black and gray (because of the color) bread was considered food of the poor. Only in the 20th century, having learned about the benefits and nutritional value of rye and grain bread, and he began to enjoy greater popularity.
At present, in Christian churches parishioners are given communion with wine and bread, parents meet the young people on the threshold of the house with loaf and salt, and sending their relatives on a long journey, loving people always bring piece of bread. And although today many traditions have been forgotten, but true love and attitude towards for bread, of course, has been preserved. After all, he accompanies us from birth to old age.
But before bread gets into our house, it makes a huge way (from growing grain, harvesting to producing flour and the product itself), a lot of workers and equipment are involved. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that bread has its own holiday. And today's holiday - World Day of Bread - is also a professional holiday of workers in the industry, and, of course, a tribute to the product, when all professionals associated with the production of bread, and bread themselves are honored.
In addition, this is another reason to attract the attention of the general public to the problems of hunger, poverty and malnutrition in the world.
Therefore, traditionally, on World Bread Day in many countries, various exhibitions of bread products, meetings of chefs, bakers and pastry chefs, fairs, master classes, festivities, as well as free distributions of bread to those in need, charity events and much more are held Everyone can not only try different varieties and types of bread and bakery products, but also learn about how bread appeared, its history and traditions, what it is made of, where it grew, how it is baked, etc.
