“Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator” – Simon Cowell
History of World Beard Day
The Origin of the day has been lost to history; this is not shocking considering that there is proof that the Danish Vikings have observed a day in tribute of their beard going back as far as 800 AD. In those old August days, a particular specific day was not there to honor the beard, but they had a lot of celebrations all over the region, few such celebrations were a little crazy. For example, In Dönskborg, Sweden all those who don’t have a beard are expelled from the town, and they spend a day and night in the nearby forest. In town, their blameworthy clean-faced men are protected by those people having incredible beards. In southern Spain, there is a story of having a boxing match between the bearded man and a beardless boy if you can call it a boxing match when the man is armed with a sharp pike. Shaving the beard on World Beard Day is considered a disrespectful act.
