Writen by Kristy Annely

Holiday clip art is images that depict memorable events and special days that different cultures commemorate annually. You can use this clip art as background decorations for your web pages, greeting cards and party invitations.

A huge and excellent selection of colored clip art created specifically for national and international holidays is available at clip art websites. You can select from U.S. flags, rockets and ?United We Stand? statements for Independence Day; flag images with patriotic sayings, ?Remember our Heroes? images and a woman weeping at a grave for Memorial Day and Patriotic Day; and flags, eagles and stars with ?Made in the USA? statements for Labor Day.

You can also find clip art for secular holidays, such as Irish borders, shamrocks, lambs and bullets for St. Patrick?s Day; sailing ships for Columbus Day; saguaro cactus and colored sombreros for Cinco de Mayo; and groundhogs in different scenes for Groundhog Day.

You can search for clip art for Christian holidays, too. These include manger scenes, Christmas wreaths, Santa and Mrs. Claus, reindeers, elves, pine trees, stars and Christmas gifts. There are images of Jesus Christ, Mother Mary, holy saints, the Bible, crosses and churches that suit the season of Lent. Bunnies in baskets, flowers, lambs and Easter eggs are the perfect clip art images for Easter.

There is also holiday clip art of menorahs and Stars of David in various colors and designs for the Jewish holiday Hanukkah. For Kwanzaa, there are images of candles, ethnic boys and girls, and statements of social and spiritual principles.

Day; witches, ghosts, mummies, graves and pumpkins for Halloween; and balloons, champagne and bubbles, party hats, fireworks and clocks pointing to midnight for New Year?s Day.
