Today's Food Holiday for January 30 is Croissant Day

Bakeries are baking extra croissant's today to honor National Croissant Day

Happy Croissant Day everyone! This holiday is celebrated every January 30th in the United States. On this day we are encouraged to eat Croissant's and I can't think of a better thing to do. I love croissant's and find myself buying or baking them every chance I get. I do enjoy them stuffed with ham and cheese as a breakfast food and I love them stuffed with chocolate or fruit as a dessert. Keep an eye out on my posts because I'm working on a page about ways to eat croissant's.

...........................................................................................................................

croissant is a buttery, flaky, pastry named for its crescent shape. Croissants are made of a layered yeast-leavened dough. The dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, in a technique called laminating. The process results in a layered, flaky texture, similar to a puff pastry. 
Crescent-shaped breads have been made since the Renaissance, and crescent-shaped cakes possibly since antiquity.

Holidays To Remember:


Teachers Day in Greece January 30

Derived from the Eastern Orthodox faith when the Three Holy Hierarchs and Ecumenical Teachers (Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom) are commemorated.
.................................................................................
Teachers' Day is a special day for the appreciation of teachers, and may include celebrations to honor them for their special contributions in a particular field area, or the community in general.

Countries celebrate this day on different dates, unlike many other International Day. Teachers Day in Greece is January 30.
The idea of celebrating Teachers' Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education.

Not to be confused with World Teachers Day
  • one day a year, like Mother's Day or Father's Day
World Teachers' Day, also known as International Teachers Day, is held annually on October 5. Established in 1994, it commemorates the signing of the 1966 "Teaching in Freedom". ```World Teachers Day celebrated around the world since 1994 after the UNESCO/ILO Recommendation concerning the Status of Teachers

Start of the Season for Nonviolence January 30 - April 4

Season for Nonviolence

Season for Nonviolence was established in 1998 by Arun Gandhi, Mohandas Gandhi's grandson, as a yearly event celebrating the philosophies and lives of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr.[1][2] Today, he co-chairs the Season along with Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith of the Agape International Spiritual Center.[3] It is convened by the Association for Global New Thought.
The "season" begins with the anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi's assassination on January 30 and ends with the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination on April 4. It is anchored by a mission, statement of principles, and commitments by participants towards living in a nonviolent way.[4][5]
