Get to know what Google’s today’s doodle mean

Today’s Doodle celebrates Costa Rica’s Independence Day. By adopting the Act of Independence of Central America along with El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Costa Rica joined the other four countries that together formed the Federal Republic of Central America. When Costa Rica withdrew its partnership with the Federal Republic of Central America it became a sovereign nation in 1838. 

If we talk about the celebration of this special day Costa Rica honors the day with parades, folklore shows, and fireworks. Children march in school during the parade and band performances dressed in their traditional costumes. Families also celebrate by eating food like Casados—an overflowing plate of rice, beans, salad, and tortillas.

In today’s artwork made by Google Costa Rica’s flag has been featured in dark blue color, white red horizontal stripes with a central coat of arms. The dark blue represents perseverance, the white symbolizes peace while the red conveys the warmth and generosity of Costa Rican culture.

We wish Happy Independence Day to Costa Rica!
