Panama Independence Day 2023

Google Dooles 22.11.2023 08:15  Date: November 3, 2023 Today’s Doodle celebrates Panama’s National Day! On this day in 1903, the Republic of Panama was established when it broke away from Colombia. Panama had been a part of the Republic of Greater Colombia since 1821 when the nation became independent from Spanish rule. The republic included parts of modern-day Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Guyana, Venezuela, and of course Panama, whose departure led to the construction of the Panama Canal. The canal is a constant reminder of the nation’s motto, Pro Mundi Beneficio , as it benefits many countries in international trade. It is even one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Also known as Separation Day, citizens attend firework shows and musical parades called dianas featuring first responders, military personnel, and school marching bands to celebrate the country’s autonomy. Couples often wear traditional outfits like straw hats and flowing, embroidered skirts to perform the national dance of Panama, El Tamborito. The flag of Panama, like the one waving in today’s Doodle, can be seen throughout the streets, along with its colors of red, blue, and white. Happy National Day, Panama! Location: Tags:
