Funny Holidays - Stripes and Specks Day

There are many holidays in the world that make you smile and do ridiculous things One of them is the cute and touching Stripes and Specks Day, which is celebrated on February 24th In honor of the funny celebration, someone puts on clothes that resemble the coloring of giraffes, tigers and leopards And some go with their children to the zoo to admire zebras and representatives of the cat family The history of the holiday is unknown As are the traditions of celebrating it In some ways, Stripes and Specks Day is reminiscent of the unusual holidays of the Americans Thomas and Ruth Roy, included in the national Chase Calendar of Events A couple from the United States, thanks to their indefatigable imagination, came up with a lot of “special days” in honor of grumpy work colleagues, stupid text messages, quirky country music, babies with dimples and New Year for cats And if on the Day of Walking with Houseplants, on the initiative of T Roy, it is customary to take a street promenade with flowers in pots, then why not dress up in clothes painted to resemble the skins of wild animals on the Day of Stripes and Specks? In honor of the funny holiday on February 24, parents read poems to children about zebras, leopards, wild boars, giraffes and tigers Adults tell kids about what this unusual coloring of wild animals means and why they need it Scientists have found that zebras' black-and-white stripes protect them from horsefly bites And this coloring does not allow the eyes (visual analyzer) of the predator to see the whole animal, but divides it into parts, thereby preserving life The spotted pattern on a giraffe's skin is unique and unique, just like human fingerprints On February 24, face painting is popular in children's clubs for applying stripes on the face in the form of Indian war paint By the way, before the battle, representatives of North American tribes painted not only themselves, but also their horses It was believed that applying symbols to the skin would protect the animal and endow it with magical powers Those who have been deprived by nature and have not been given a scattering of freckles, draw small dots on their faces on February 24, called sun kisses In honor of the holiday, you can go to the hippodrome or equestrian club and ride horses But not on ordinary ones, but on spotted ones Piebald coloring is characteristic of the Spanish Pinto breed, Oryol trotters and the American Penthorse In the famous song by V Saltykov about horses in apples, light gray horses with white spots scattered across the skin, reminiscent of the famous fruit, are mentioned This color is not given to horses from birth, but appears as they grow older The pattern of markings on the sides of bay and black horses is somewhat similar to the hanging fruits of apple trees, arranged in a certain sequence Celebrating Stripes and Specks Day on February 24 leaves plenty of room for imagination Anyone who wants to celebrate it will find the opportunity to do so in a fun and interesting way, involving family members and friends, young and old, in the process
