25 April, the Carnation Revolution, Portugal Key Ring
25 April Revolution, the Carnation Revolution, began as a military coup by several hundred lieutenants, captains, and majors disappointed by their colonial war experience in Africa. The authoritarian regime had been in power for almost 50 years. A red carnation was their symbol and this illustration was inspired by it.
The story of this Portuguese symbol is that Tourist Day was being celebrated and there were lots of carnations for distribution in the markets of Lisbon back in 1974. An important restaurant was holding a party to celebrate one year of existence but because of the Revolution going on the manager decided not to open for the day. It also bought carnations that were given to employees that took the flowers home. One woman that was passing by was asked for a cigar by a military from the revolutionary coup. But she was a non-smoker. So she gave him the carnation and immediately he placed it in the barrel of the gun. Her name is Celeste Caeiro and she's known since that day as Celeste dos Cravos, Celeste of the Carnations. The people began to hand the carnations out to the troops, they decorated decorating their tanks and rifles with the flower – hence the event became known as the Carnation Revolution. The gesture was then replicated and the carnations become a spontaneous symbol of the April 25 revolution and one of the most meaningful flowers for the Portuguese. If you have a friend, co-worker, teacher, or a relative of Portuguese nationality, they will undoubtedly appreciate this illustration because everyone knows that this flower means liberty.

This key chain was totally worth getting. It was bigger than I expected but not over-sized. Great quality.
Could be given as a gift for any occasion ... just order with the pictures that you want the other person to have. Personally, I bought one for myself, one for my mom (for her birthday). I was satisfied with every thing about this. Excellent quality pictures, durable, looks really nice.

I wanted to get something special for my son as he has just had his second child and bought a new car so I decided on a keyring and Zazzle did an amazing job with this. It is very difficult to get a double sided keyring and I am very happy with the way this has turned out. Delivery was on time and website was easy to use. The black and white photos are perfect. Just what I hoped for.
