Sweden National Day 2021

Google Dooles 06.06.2021 08:00  Date: June 6, 2021 Today’s Doodle honors Sweden’s National Day, a celebration of two historical anniversaries: the coronation of King Gustav Vasa in 1523 and the ratification of the modern constitution on this day in 1809, which established a separation of governmental power. The origins of today’s holiday stretch back to the late 19th-century, when Artur Hazelius—the founder of Stockholm's Skansen open-air museum—celebrated Swedish national day on June 6, 1893. But it wasn’t until over a century later, in 2005, that today’s festivities were officially established as a public holiday. Skansen has remained a focal point of National Day celebrations, where Swedes honor the country’s history with local folk band performances, singing, and a raising of the Swedish flag—depicted flying proudly in today’s Doodle artwork. Happy National Day, Sweden! Location: Tags: , , , ,
