Paraguay Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 14.05.2022 07:01  Date: May 14, 2022 Today's Doodle celebrates Paraguay’s Independence Day—also known as Día de la Independencia Nacional. On this day in 1811, Paraguay declared their independence from Spain and became the second independent nation of the Americas. To celebrate Paraguay’s independence, men and women don their straw hats and bombachas or brightly-colored blouses and rebozos, and explore the streets for local music performances. Paraguayans can also enjoy elaborate parades, family football games and outdoor barbecues throughout the day. It wouldn’t be a celebration without delicacies like sopa paraguaya and yerba mate and watching Paraguay’s distinctive two-sided design flag wave proudly in the streets. Depicted in the Doodle artwork, the flag of Paraguay is one of the world’s few national flags with different emblems on either side. In the center of one side is the Paraguayan coat of arms, and on the opposite, the treasury seal with the national motto: “Paz y justicia” . ¡Feliz día de la independencia, Paraguay!
