Panama Independence Day 2020
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates Panama’s Independence Day, also known as “Separation Day,” in commemoration of the country’s declaration of autonomy from Colombia in 1903.
The following year, Panama first established the design of its red, white, and blue flag, which is depicted in the Doodle artwork. Separated into four congruent quarters and marked by two diagonally-opposed stars, the flag is meant to signify some of the Central American nation’s most important values. The blue star represents honesty and purity, the red star stands for a respect for the country’s laws, and the white symbolizes peace.
iFeliz día de la Independencia, Panamá! Happy Independence Day, Panama!
