Google Commemoration Day originated as an initiative of Google to mark significant events with special logos on the search engine’s homepage — the so-called Google Doodles. The first Doodle appeared in 1998, and since then the company has regularly celebrated memorial days, anniversaries, and achievements around the world.

Purpose of the holiday
The holiday is aimed at:

* Recognizing and honoring significant historical events, cultural achievements, or outstanding individuals.
* Raising public awareness of important dates and events through an accessible online format.
* Inspiring people to learn more about science, culture, art, and history.

Traditions and ways of celebrating

* Visiting the Google homepage on the day of a Doodle dedicated to an event.
* Learning information about the person, event, or invention that Google highlights.
* Discussing and sharing interesting facts about the event with friends and family.
* Participating in themed activities or online events related to the holiday.

Interesting facts

* Each Doodle is created by a team of Google artists, designers, and engineers, and may include animation, games, or interactive elements.
* Some Doodles have become so popular that they received separate mini-games or educational projects.
* Google Commemoration Day helps popularize rare or lesser-known historical facts among a wide audience.
