Gustav Erikkson Vasa,
in the year 1523 A.D. on 6th June, was elected as the King of Sweden
after he had led an uprising with the goal to break the union between the three
Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Denmark and Norway. In the year 1809 on the
sixth day of June, the new constitution of Sweden was adopted. With a strange
coincidence in 1974 Sweden again adopted a new constitution on 6th
June.
Later in the year
1983 the government decided to celebrate the national day of Sweden on 6th
June. The national holiday for 6th June was only declared as
recently as 2005.
In 1893, at the
Skansen open air museum, Stockholm, Arthur Hazelius came up with the idea of
celebrating the ‘Svenska Flaggans Dag’, the Swedish Flag Day. It was also
celebrated on June 6th.
With so many
different celebrations starting on the 6th of June, the date became
an important part of the Swedish history. The Sweden Flag Day was officially renamed as Sweden National Day in
the year 1983.
Although many people
are more enthusiastic when celebrating the Midsommers Day, the popularity of
the Sweden national day is rising day by day giving the Swedish people another
reason to celebrate and enjoy together. For all your Sweden Visa
requirements you should prepare in advance so as not to miss the
celebrations.
It can be seen that
the upper echelons of the Swedish community attend the national day at the
Skansen open air museum. The King and Queen of Sweden are presented with beautiful
bouquets created using summer flowers by children wearing traditional peasant
dresses.
