Why and when is Architect's Day celebrated in Honduras

Architect's Day is a special date on the Honduran calendar that is celebrated every May 3 . In many countries of the world they decide to celebrate the Architect's Day jointly on October 1, however in others like ours, it has been decided to honor these professionals on another date for reasons of their own.

Here we tell you why the Architect's Day is celebrated on May 3 in Honduras.

How was the Architect's Day born?

The celebration of the Architect's Day on May 3 is due to a curious fact. It turns out that the College of Architects of Honduras was created in December 1963, but it was not until April 1979 that the Law of its creation was approved. A law that did not see the light of day until May 3, when it was officially published in "La Gaceta", the official day of Honduras.

This is how the celebration of the Architect's Day was established for May 3 to coincide with the anniversary of the publication of said law.

This day aims to praise and honor the work, effort and work carried out by these professionals for the development of the country. Their job consists of projecting, designing and maintaining the structures and buildings of the municipalities.

Architecture is one of the oldest professions in the world. The existence of these professionals has been documented for centuries with the construction of the Pyramids of Egypt.
