Austria National Day 2021

Google Dooles 26.10.2021 00:30  Date: October 26, 2021 Today’s Doodle celebrates Austrian National Day on the anniversary of major historic developments in the European nation’s history. On this day in 1955, foreign powers left Austria’s soil, leading Parliament to pass legislation declaring permanent neutrality in any future engagements—a commitment to peace that has been celebrated as National Day since 1965. Official ceremonies begin in the capital of Vienna with an annual laying of the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier followed by a televised speech from the federal government to Austrian citizens. Nationally run museums are opened to the public, including the House of Austrian History and the Natural History Museum Vienna. Traditionally, many of the nation’s 83 embassies across the globe open their doors for receptions and other National Day events to honor the nation’s history and give Austrians staying abroad a taste of home. Happy National Day, Austria! Location: Tags: , , , ,
