Today's Doodle recognizes Greece's independence from the Ottoman Empire. After 400 years of occupation, Greece National Day celebrates the hoisting of Greece’s blue and white flag into the sky as a declaration of its independence.

Greece commemorates the holiday with flag-day parades, speeches, and visits to memorial services. These festivities draw thousands of spectators who later enjoy traditional dishes like bakaliaros (fried hake) accompanied by a garlic and potato puree, called skordalia. 

This important day in history marks the hard-won battle and observes Greece’s continued freedom for over 200 years.

Greece National Day 2020

• On the 199th anniversary of the Eastern Mediterranean country declaring its independence, today’s Doodle celebrates Greece’s National Day.
  After nearly 400 years as part of the Ottoman Empire, the push for independence ignited as the Greek flag was raised above the monastery of Agia Lavra by Bishop Germanos of Patras in 1821. The blue and white of the Greek flag, similar to the one depicted in the Doodle artwork, was a revolutionary symbol of the Greek War for Independence. Through the London Protocol  in 1830, Greece became an independent state.
  Happy Ikostí-pémpti Martíou, Greece!
