April 9 - National Unicorn Day


Happy National Unicorn Day! On April 9th each year, today celebrates the mythical horse-like creature with a single, pointed horn growing from the center of its forehead. 
  
Unicorns have been a popular mythical creature since the Ancient Greek times when people believed they lived in exotic India. 

While they were once considered to be fierce, powerful animals, many now see them as a symbol of love, purity, enchantment, and magic.  

They also appear in many movies and cartoons as magical creatures. Both adults and children find a fascination with unicorns. 

They also continue to find their way into fantasy novels alongside other mythical creatures.
