Independence
Day
Independence Day is one of the most
important days for Salvadorians. In 1821 the declaration of independence was
signed by important government people such as Manuel Jose Arce, Jose Simeon Cañas
and Jose Matias Delgado. They are the ones who gave the first shout of
independence on November 5 of 1811 in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador.
In 1823 Delgado was elected president of the constituent assembly.
Because
that is so important, every September 15 there is a big celebration that takes
places all around El Salvador.
Some activities that take place during the
celebration are organized by public and private schools and government
institutes. At the end of the day, fireworks light up the skies in El Salvador.
