An unofficial but positive holiday is celebrated annually on June 21 – World Handshake Day.

What is a handshake?

Handshake is a traditional greeting gesture for men, which has come down to us since ancient times, and nowadays this gesture is also popular among women. The fact is that when a man extends his right hand in greeting, he confirms the absence of a weapon.

But refusing to shake hands means an unfriendly attitude. By shaking hands, you show your respect and good intentions. In almost all sports, opponents shake hands before and after a match.
