Jordan Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 25.05.2022 05:31  Date: May 25, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates Jordan Independence Day, or Eid al-Istiklal. On this day in 1946, Jordan declared independence from British control and was recognized as the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan by the United Nations. The public holiday starts with an official national celebration, attended by the Royal Family government officials, military personnel and citizens of Jordan. Many senior officials give speeches to commemorate Jordan’s continued progress, followed by an awards ceremony dedicated to the accomplishments made by noteworthy individuals. A number of other events like a 21-gun salute in the capital city of Amman and a Presentation of Colors ceremony are held to mark another year of independence. Parades are orchestrated throughout the streets alongside large groups of drivers who race by and honk in cars covered in the national flag—like the one in today’s Doodle. Following tradition, many street merchants sell the national flag in bulk along with their usual wares. Happy Independence Day, Jordan! Location: Tags: , , , ,
