On July 21, World Dog Day has been celebrated since 2004. It is not an official celebration or holiday, but various civil associations, including the WHO, World Health Organization, have scheduled this date in order to raise awareness about the immense number of dogs that are abandoned or waiting to be adopted. It is claimed, according to world statistics, that up to 70% of the dog population is homeless.
Time to be Reborn
Since ancient times, it was believed that the year began with spring. This date agreed with the plant renewal that humanity distinguished on two occasions: spring and summer. The dates were not very precise and were different depending on the region of the world, but they all coincided between the months of March, April and May.
Back To Nature
Humanity, from the beginning of its existence, has been concerned with establishing a place to live and another to die. History museums give us examples of burials near family homes in which death was given a special meaning, due to the care in handling the deceased, the offerings and utensils that were placed along with the bodies.
