Martyrs' Day in Lebanon is observed on May 6 each year to honor those who sacrificed their lives for the country's independence and freedom. The day commemorates the Lebanese martyrs who fought against foreign occupation and oppression, particularly during the Ottoman Empire and French Mandate. On this day, various ceremonies and events take place across the nation, including memorial services and parades. People visit cemeteries to pay their respects, and speeches are often delivered to highlight the importance of national unity and remembrance of the sacrifices made for Lebanon's sovereignty.
