Serbia National Day 2024

Google Dooles 15.02.2024 04:16  Date: February 15, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Serbia’s National Day, also known as Statehood Day or Sovereignty Day. On this day in 1804, the first Serbian Uprising took place and paved the way for Serbia’s independence from the Ottoman Empire. National Day also marks the adoption of the nation’s first constitution on this day in 1835, which established democracy and aimed to protect human rights. Since the holiday commemorates two historic events, a two-day celebration is fitting! To mark these anniversaries, government officials lay wreaths at monuments that honor those who fought for Serbia’s sovereignty. These solemn ceremonies are accompanied by speeches about the country’s past, present, and future. On Statehood Day, when winter meets summer, many citizens hope for a cloudy day. According to folk tradition, bears will emerge from hibernation but retreat to their dens if they see their shadow. That indicates that winter will continue, while an overcast day means nice weather is in store. Happy dan državnosti Srbije! Location: Tags:
