Queen's Day

Yesterday was Queen's day. the legend goes that on this day the former queen of the Netherlands -Queen Juliana- went bankrupt and she had to sell all her royal belongings in a shop at the market. she sold her crown, her jewels and even her children -all for a fair price of course-. initially she wasn't making a lot of sales, so she decided that she had to do something extraordinary, she had to attract attention. so.. she was walking on the market, looking for the most disgusting homeless person she could find. when she finally found him -instead of giving the bad-smelling beggar money- she gave the man five bricks and told him to make a slow circuit of several blocks. at certain points he had to lay down a brick on the sidewalk, always keeping one brick in hand. on the return journey he had to replace each brick on the street with the one he held. meanwhile he had to remain serious and answer no questions. once back at the market, he had to walk into Juliana's store, he then had to stop, walk out, look into the sky and say: "in the name of Her Majesty". he then had to make the same bricklaying circuit again.
 
According to the legend, several hundred people watched the mysterious movements of the beggar and by his fourth circuit, onlookers swarmed around him, debating what he was doing. every time he entered Queen Juliana's shop, he was followed by people who bought more and more items from Juliana. in fact, many of them were so distracted by the former Queen's collections and stayed inside. by the end of the first day, the brick-man had drawn over a thousand people to Juliana's shop. a few days later the police ordered him to cease and desist from his walks -the crowds were blocking traffic-. the bricklaying stopped, but by this time already thousands had entered Queen Juliana's shop, bought more than they could afford, and many of those had become Queen Juliana's converts. eventually the former Queen made a lot of money and she invested it in the rebuilding of a democratic republic: The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands.
Hence it is tradition that on this day people are selling their old crap on the streets to pay tribute to Queen Juliana, the true sovereign ruler of Holland.
