День Лени

When this holiday appeared
In 1984, on August 20,
An unusual holiday was born in Colombia, which found support in the hearts of millions of people from different countries, becoming worldwide, despite the lack of official status. It is called the World Day of Laziness.

The history of this holiday
The history of the holiday is connected with the fact that in 1984, during the annual festival of industry, trade and culture held in the city of Itaguy in Colombia, the last day of the festival was called the World Day of Laziness, urging participants to forget about work, relax and devote this day to themselves and their family, relaxing together, doing nothing.
*At first glance, laziness is one of the unpleasant human vices. However, in the case of the holiday, the organizers dubbed it so, of course, in jest. We are talking about a completely natural human need for rest.

The history of this holiday
Itagui is one of the industrial centers where residents spent most of their time at work. The idea of a new holiday was accepted by everyone with great pleasure. Subsequently, the holiday began to be celebrated in other countries, emphasizing that no productive work is possible without a full rest.
