The Day of the Sun

This past Thursday North Koreans celebrated one of their single most important holidays of the year. The holiday, the Day of the Sun, celebrates the life of their former leader Kim II-Sung also referred to as 'sun of the nation'. The celebration's main feature is the ‘Kimilsungia Exhibition' in which participants use North Korea's national flower, the magenta orchid to create artful likenesses of Kim II-Sung . ABC's The World News Daily Blog provides the following post (The Jolliest Day of the Year) for more titillating information about this event! http://blogs.abcnews.com/theworldnewser/2010/04/jolliest-day-year-north-korea.html
