On January 21, the world celebrates several bright dates at once, including International Hug Day and the lesser-known, but popular in Western countries, cereal bar holiday.
In the church calendar, this date is associated with the commemoration of Saint Maxim the Confessor, one of the most respected theologians of the Eastern Church.
In addition, the day is full of important historical events and folk omens, which traditionally predicted the weather and the harvest.
International Hug Day has become a symbol of simple human support and warmth that can be given without words.
By design, on this day, people should hug relatives, friends and even casual acquaintances more often to remind them of the power of sincere human contact.
The holiday has no strict rules, but its meaning lies in openness and kindness, which are especially valuable in times of stress and uncertainty.
On the same day, an unusual gastronomic holiday is celebrated – Cereal Bar Day, which glorifies a convenient and nutritious snack that has become an integral part of the modern rhythm of life.
Its roots go back to the invention of granola in the 19th century by the doctor James Caleb Jackson, who created the first version of the dish from coarse flour and fruit called “granola”.
Subsequently, John Harvey Kellogg worked on improving the recipe, and the transformation of muesli into a compact bar is attributed to the inventor Stanley Mason, although there is still controversy surrounding this.
We will remind you how Christmas is celebrated on Pitcairn Island.
Also, in 2026, Catholic Easter falls on April 5, and Orthodox Easter falls on April 12.
