 | | A Greek dancer celebrating Greek Independence Day |
Throughout the world, national days are important holidays that are celebrated with parties, flags, and fun. These festivities may mark the day on which the nation was first set up, or when it broke away from foreign rule. They may recall a famous battle or revolution, or the birthday of a king or queen. In some Christian countries, the day honours a 'patron saint', a holy person specially linked with that nation.
