June 20 is the day the Argentine flag was adopted

In Argentina, the national holiday, the day of the death of the flag designer - Manuel Belgran (June 3, 1770 - June 20, 1820) is celebrated as an official holiday on June 20. Flag Week will be held in Belgrade-born Rosario. On this day, a number of events related to the flag will be held. Rosario has a magnificent monument to the Argentine flag. In May 1810, the Argentine liberation movement used blue-and-white cockades (a target forbidden in formal caps). On April 1812, 18, the national cockade was officially approved. A few days later, the national flag in these colors was approved. The blue and white colors on the flag symbolize the sky and the snow. In 1818, the image of the sun was painted on the flag. The sun is the national symbol of Argentina. This symbol is reminiscent of the sun shining through the clouds on May 1810, 25, the day of the first national-mass demonstration in support of independence.
