Honduras National Day 2022

Google Dooles 15.09.2022 11:15  Date: September 15, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates Honduras National Day. On this day in 1821, Honduras alongside Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua, declared independence from Spain. These countries joined to create the Federal Republic of Central America but in 1838 Honduras seceded and gained full sovereignty as an independent nation. Hondurans celebrate the day with street parties, fireworks and parades that are filled with patriotic floats and local school’s marching bands. Street vendors serve popular Honduran dishes like plato típico and baleada, a folded tortilla with beans, cheese and sour cream. To conclude official ceremonies, people gather in the evening to sing the national anthem, but many festivities continue into the night. The Honduran national flag depicted in today’s artwork waves throughout the country, its design symbolic of the country’s Central American pride. The blue and white stripes contain five central blue stars that represent the members of the Federal Republic of Central America. Happy National Day, Honduras! Location: Tags:
