America's Day

America's Day in Honduras, also known as *Día de las Américas*, is celebrated annually on **April 14**. This holiday honors the unity and solidarity among the nations of the Americas, emphasizing shared cultural, historical, and political ties. It commemorates the founding of the **Pan American Union** (now the **Organization of American States**, or OAS) in 1890, which promotes cooperation and peace across the continent. In Honduras, the day is marked with cultural events, parades, and educational activities that highlight the country's role within the broader American community. Schools and government institutions often organize programs to celebrate the values of democracy, freedom, and mutual respect among nations. It is a time for Hondurans to reflect on their connections to the Americas and to celebrate the diversity and shared heritage of the region.
