🇩🇰 Since we're celebrating a #birthday, we have raised the flag. Had to take down the pole, put in a new flag line and raise it again, which was a bit of a challenge, given today's rough wind.
I hear we're a bit weird about flags in #Denmark, waiving them obsessively on all occasions. There is nothing religious, right wing or aggressively nationalistic about this - it's all about unity and tradition, and I think it's kind of #nice.
According to the Interwebs, "The #Danish #flag, known as #Dannebrog, is believed to have originated on June 15, 1219, when it reportedly fell from the sky during the Battle of Lyndanisse, aiding King Valdemar II's forces. It is recognized as the oldest continuously used national flag in the world, with its design featuring a white Nordic cross on a red background, symbolizing Christianity"
