One of the days listed for Feb. 2 is "Bun Day" in Iceland. However, the link to Icelandic holidays does not list "Bun Day" nor does it mention anything specific for Feb. 2. I don't know enough about Icelandic holidays to add anything positive to this entry but will look around a little and see what I come up with.Amaling (talk) 03:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
