Republic of Moldova Independence Day 2022

Google Dooles 27.08.2022 05:01  Date: August 27, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates the Republic of Moldova’s Independence Day. On this day in 1991, Moldova left the Soviet Union and became a sovereign nation. Moldovans typically commemorate the day with fireworks, street celebrations and family gatherings. At the Great National Assembly Square in the nation’s capital Chișinău, citizens enjoy an annual patriotic concert and military parade. The Moldovan president and other high-ranking officials also participate in a wreath-laying ceremony before the president addresses the nation. Depicted in today’s artwork, Moldova’s blue, yellow and red national flag decorates buildings and homes across the country. The flag has a central coat of arms featuring an eagle holding a golden scepter and an olive branch that symbolizes peace. The shield on the eagle depicts an auroch, a prehistoric ox that has become the national symbol of Moldova. People wind down the special day by sitting down to enjoy a traditional meal like mamaliga, a cornmeal porridge served with butter and sour cream, and sipping world-famous Moldovan wines. Happy Independence Day, Moldova! Location: Tags: , , , ,
