Happy International Friendship Day!
International Friendship Day is a day when friends and families celebrate their great relationships with each other. It was first celebrated in the UK in 1772. The main objective behind this celebration is to commemorate the friendly relationships that exist between a family and their friends.
The calendar date of International Friendship Day is 30th July. In history, it was an early Christmas holiday in England. However, in recent times, we have Celebrated It in July.
How do people celebrate International Friendship Day?
People from around the world celebrate Friendship Day in their own way. Usually, after a hearty meal, people welcome their friends and family members with flowers and gifts. After celebrating Friendship Day, the ceremony sometimes moves on even during the next week.
In fact, it was on this same date in 1874 that the English Princess Diana proposed to King Edward IV of England at Chatteris. She said that she loved him and wanted to marry him. A few days later, King Edward granted her what was referred to as the “poisoning kiss.” The proposal of marriage was very popular in several countries, including Paraguay. In fact, Queen Victoria invited Paraguay to celebrate Friendship Day with her on the 16th anniversary of the acceding of the English crown.
Today, many people have turned social media platforms into places to celebrate National Friendship Day. The best way to get to know people from other parts of the world is through social media websites. Two of the most popular social media platforms are Facebook and Instagram, of course. People share photos with their friends and happy memories they have had together throughout the years.
