Bahrain’s National Day has been honoured by Google with a doodle on the search engine’s homepage.
Visitors to the internet giant’s website will be greeted with a picture of a Bahrain flag waving in the wind.
The doodle has been created to honour Bahrain’s 49th National Day.
Explaining the doodle, the creators wrote, “Today’s Doodle honors Bahrain’s National Day, a two-day public holiday in celebration of the nation’s declaration of sovereignty in 1971. To mark the occasion, red and white lights are used to ornament everything from landmark buildings to the country’s famous palm trees.”
“Illustrated in the Doodle artwork is Bahrain’s red and white flag, which was formally adopted in 2002. The flag’s two-color design traces its origins back to the 1820 General Treaty of Peace with the U.K., when the flag’s white band was added to the existing red background to symbolize the harmonious relationship between the two countries.” “Happy National Day, Bahrain!”
