Honduras National Day 2023

Google Dooles 15.09.2023 14:16  Date: September 15, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Honduras’s National Day! On this day in 1821, Honduras, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, 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. Depicted in today’s artwork, Honduras’s national flag decorates buildings and homes throughout the country on this day. The flag features blue and white stripes with five central blue stars for each member of the Federal Republic of Central America. On National Day, Hondurans gather in city streets to watch parades filled with colorful floats, marching drummers, and folk dancers. Along the parade route, street vendors sell folded tortillas filled with beans and cheese called baleadas. Later, people sing the national anthem before continuing to celebrate into the night. Happy National Day, Honduras! Location: Tags:
