World Post Day: Celebrate creatively with Stone.Art.Work.

Have you ever wondered why we celebrate "Universal Postal Union Day"? I have to admit, until recently, the whole thing was a mystery to me, too. But after doing some research, I'm fascinated by the history and significance of this special day. And what better way to celebrate World Post Day than with a few creative DIY projects?

The history of World Post Day

It all began in 1874, when the Universal Postal Union was founded in Bern. At that time, global communication was still a real challenge—every country had its own postal system with different rates and rules. The Universal Postal Union was intended to change that and ensure uniform standards.

Since then, the postal service has evolved rapidly, but the importance of the Universal Postal Union remains undiminished. Thanks to it, we can now easily send letters and parcels all over the world. Sure, emails and messenger services have pushed traditional mail somewhat into the background. But that's precisely why World Post Day is a wonderful opportunity to rediscover the tradition of letter writing.
