International Kissing Day

International Kissing Day, July 6th, celebrates the enjoyable act of kissing and the role it plays in cultures around the world. The day reminds people that a kiss between friends, lovers, family, and even pets is the most important. Many companies, websites, and social media pages all agree that it's a celebrated day for promotion of their products or services.

A greeting is given on the cheek by some societies. While some kisses suggest a kinship, some kisses suggest a kinship. Watch a parent or a grandparent with a young child and you'll see tender kisses.

It's an ageless pastime. According to study, 5% of people over the age of 45 are locking lips at least 31 times a week.

"Early Christians kissed one another in very specific settings that distinguished them from the non-Christian community," Michael Penn's book Kissing Christians. At the end of I Thessalonians, the first Christian mention of the ritual kiss is found: "Greet one another with a holy kiss." "Kiss of peace" was used during prayer, Eucharist, ordination, and other areas connected with greetings, funerals, monastic vows, and martyrdom.
