Doha: Google marks Qatar National Day with a doodle of the Qatar's flag featured on its homepage on Saturday (December 18, 2021).
The doodle shows a gif of Qatar flag atop an architectural structure against the background of a blue sky. It wrote on its doodle page, "In honor of 143 years of national unification, today’s Doodle celebrates Qatar’s National Day, also known as Founder’s Day."
Google further goes on to explain, "The most enduring symbol of today’s commemorations is the maroon and white Qatari flag, illustrated in the Doodle artwork which displays symbolism that is representative of Qatari heritage and sovereignty. Adopted in 1971, this flag features a historically significant maroon shade in tribute to those that have made sacrifices for the nation’s freedom alongside white, which represents peace."
It further went on explain that in honor of National Day, the Qatar National Library planned a series of events throughout December to celebrate Qatari history, culture, and heritage---from lectures on prominent architectural monuments to youth environmental initiatives. The events will conclude with a Qatar Youth Art Exhibition, which encourages young artists to display their pride in Qatari culture through art.
Happy National Day, Qatar! Google added.
