What is 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.

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.
