Funny Holidays - Mailbox Birthday
Celebrated on 2 AugustBefore the invention of the Internet, people exchanged messages by sending them by mail.
Letters and postcards were placed in special containers made of wood, metal and cast iron. From the 16th century At the Cape of Good Hope there was a shoe-shaped box. Sailors sailing from Europe to India left their letters in it, and travelers moving in the opposite direction took them.
