The Universal Day of Culture was proposed by the author of the Roerich Pact - the Russian artist Nicholas Roerich. In several articles and letters, written in 1931-1935, he spoke about the Universal Day of Culture. In his "Greetings to the Bruges conference in 1931" Roerich defined the Universal Day of Culture as a day which ''"shall be consecrated to the full appreciation of all national and universal treasures of culture"''.〔(Peter Barenboim, Naeem Sidiqi. “Bruges, the Bridge between Civilizations. To the 75th Anniversary of the Roerich Pact” ), Letny Sad, Grid Belgium, 2010. P. 37-38〕 According to Roerich, the celebrations had to take place in all schools and educational institutions.〔 In 1933, in his "Prayer for Peace and Culture" Roerich includes also the churches into this list and specifies that on this day ''"the world will be reminded of the true treasures of humanity, of creative heroic enthusiasm, of improvement and enhancement of life."''〔N. Roerich. Prayer for Peace and Culture. ''Indian Magazine, September 1933''.〕 On April 15, 1935, when the Roerich Pact was signed in Washington, Roerich mentioned this date as ''"memorable day"'' and ''"significant date"'',〔(N. Roerich. The Banner ). ''Meditation Monthly International, December 2010/January 2011 Vol. XXVIII No. 2.'' 〕 which later led to consideration of April 15 as the Universal Day of Culture.
