International Bath Day is celebrated every year on June 14th to commemorate the importance of taking baths and spending time in water.
If you think of a wonderfully relaxing experience that's completely free, one of the first things that come to mind is a long, hot soak. Well, if you need a reason to paint the most luxurious and amazing bath tub, International Bath Day could totally be it.
While it may sound completely crazy, it is in fact a hugely popular day and an excuse for every man, woman and child to enjoy the most relaxing and intoxicating feeling when dip.
Maybe we should also start by saying that International Bath Day isn't the only day of the year you should choose to bathe, let's face it, if this is the case, public transport will become more uncomfortable on summer days.
In fact, days like these are probably not for bathing at all; International Bath Day is a way of celebrating our humanity, it's about realizing who we are and how far we've really come. While for some people, showering is just a way to clean some hard-to-reach areas; for others, it's a way out.
There are people who work 14 hours a day and just relax from the world, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, there are people who find inspiration while enjoying the quiet and occasional bubbles.
In fact, dates like International Bath Day are to you what you make them; you should find a way to do something that makes you feel happiest while alive, something just for you and no one else.
History of International Bath Day
On June 14th, Greek mathematician, scientist and scholar Archimedes discovered that the volume of an object can be accurately measured by submerging it in water while he is taking a shower! Eager to share his excitement about the discovery, Archimedes jumped out of the tub and shouted "Eureka, eureka!" when he went through Syracuse. While not all of us are geniuses, International Bath Day is also an ideal day to encourage learning and discovery in children. Bath toys can be used during bath time to teach children about some interesting things around our lives.
Nowadays, we are used to comfortable bathrooms with showers, bathtubs, and controlled water flow. However, not so long ago, bathing was a rather unpleasant experience. For example, in 19th century England, a bath was simply a large cold metal container in front of a fireplace without any plumbing. In addition, in other parts of the world, people have to take a dip in a nearby pond or river when they want to clean themselves, despite frigid weather conditions and other health hazards. Even if we can bathe comfortably in temperature-controlled water, it is essential to remember that there are many people around the world who do not have access to clean and drinkable water. So, while enjoying a luxurious bath from time to time, we must remember to never waste water.
