El Salvador Independence Day 2021

Google Dooles 15.09.2021 13:15  Date: September 15, 2021 Along with fellow Central American countries Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, El Salvador declared its independence on this day in 1821. Today’s Doodle celebrates the bicentennial of El Salvador’s Independence Day, which commemorates the signing of the Act of Independence of Central America in Guatemala City. In a show of solidarity with the nations that share its centroamericano identity, Independence Day parades in El Salvador are traditionally led by a procession of cars decorated with flags from the other four Central American countries that also celebrate this historic anniversary. Salvadoran student bands prepare for these grand parades by practicing for months in advance, and on the day of celebration, families prepare the national dish of pupusas—hand-made corn tortillas filled with local ingredients and topped with tomato sauce and cabbage salad. Depicted in the Doodle artwork, the Salvadoran flag is hoisted across the nation as a symbol of Central American pride. Its center is adorned with the nation’s coat of arms, which contains five volcanoes representing El Salvador, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Happy Independence Day, El Salvador!
