Introduction of what are the national emblems of Costa Rica.

-

Hello, my name is Genesis Gutierrez Guarin, and I will make this blog in order to understand a little more about the national emblems of Costa Rica, first we must be clear, what we refer to as national emblems. The national symbols of Costa Rica are the emblems that represent Costa Rica and its people. Currently, Costa Rica has 14 of them. Each change that occurs in relation to national emblems or symbols, has to do with relation to the policies that the president chooses or takes as something essential for its development. 😀

The names of the 14 national emblems could be:

1 National flag 
2 National coat of arms
3 National anthem 
4 The purple guaria, national flower 
5 The Guanacaste tree, national tree 
6 The yigüirro, national bird 
7 The typical cart, symbol of work 
8 White-tailed deer, symbol of national fauna
9 The marimba, symbol of national culture and tradition
10 The Torch of Independence, symbol of freedom
11 The Crestones, symbol of natural wealth
12 The manatee, a national symbol of marine fauna
13 The stone spheres, a symbol of pre-Columbian culture
14 The National Theater

The marimba, symbol of national culture and tradition The marimba was declared a national instrument of Costa Rica by decree No. 25114-C published in La Gaceta No. 167, on September 3, 1996, during the government of José María Figueres Olsen, as a symbol of culture and tradition. His declaration was made in the midst of the celebrations for the 172nd anniversary of the Annexation of the Nicoya Party and to kick off the Cultural Week for the celebration of the Mayan New Year, so the Ministry of Culture of Costa Rica and the Mayan League of Guatemala organized a National Marimbas Festival that was held at the Melico Salazar Popular Theater. His objective was also to revalue the popular music played in marimbas, in an effort to make the new generations know their music and how to make this instrument. In 2017, during the government of Luis Guillermo Solís Rivera, it was declared to be celebrated every November 30 as National Marimba Day.   The Torch of Independence, symbol of freedom It w

National flag of  Costa Rica It was created on September 29, 1848 together with the National Shield, after the declaration of the Republic on August 31, 1848. The conception and design of the current flag, in force since that year, corresponded to Pacífica Fernández Oreamuno, wife of the first president and founder of the Republic, José María Castro Madriz. The design is inspired by the flag of France. The flag is tricolor by means of five stripes placed horizontally, a red one in the center between two white ones, each of which is followed by a blue one. The width of each strip is one sixth of the flag, except for the red one, which is two sixths. The stripes are in a 1: 1: 2: 1: 1 ratio. 😱                                                                       Colors represent: Blue : represents the sky that covers Costa Rica and the ideals for forging a democratic nation.  White: represents purity, goodness and peace.

The stone spheres, a symbol of pre-Columbian culture  In 2014, Unesco chose the set of pre-Columbian cacicales settlements with Diquís stone spheres as a World Heritage Site. As a consequence, on July 16, 2014, the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica declared them the national symbol of the country. The stone spheres of Costa Rica are a set of around 500 gabbro petro-spheres and other minerals, which have been found throughout the country, but mainly in the Río Grande de Térraba valley region (called Diquís, large water, in brunca language), in the south of the country. They are considered unique in the world for their abundance, size, geometric perfection, and organized formations. Made with abrasion techniques and stone instruments, although it is not yet completely clear how they were made. The National Theater The National Theater of Costa Rica, located in the city of San José, was declared in April 2018 as a National Symbol of the Historical Architectural Heritage and Cultural Free
