Danes love their Danish flag

The Danish flag is called 'Dannebrog', which means 'The cloth of the Danes' and is the world’s oldest, used national flag, and the first of all Scandinavian cross flags used as a symbol of Christianity. According to legend, the flag fell from the sky in 1219, while the Danish army fought in Lyndanisse, which is today's Estonia’s capital Tallinn. The Estonians were heathens, and the Danes had come to spread their Christian beliefs. King Valdemar II (Valdemar the Victorious) caught the flag just before it hit the ground – and the Danes subsequently won. 

Danes take ownership of their flag more than any other country in the world. They use the Dannebrog for many different occasions and in many ways: On a flagpole, at sporting events, on birthday cakes and buns, on Christmas trees, on napkins, in the driveway as a guide for guests to indicate abirthday, at graduations, at births and deaths, and at all other major events and milestones.

Birthday flag for the whole family

You never get too old to be celebrated with flags on your birthday. Whether it’s in bed or on the breakfast table, it’s always a happy surprise that can't wait to put a smile on your face.

Create a cosy atmosphere at home

The flag signifies celebrations. When Danes gather around to celebrate a milestone, a wonderful event or a party, they love to place the Dannebrog flag on the table as a symbol of the joy. A table flag tells a story, evokes emotions, creates traditions and invites communities to celebrate life’s big events. At the same time, it doesn't take up too much space on the table or affect your guests’ view of each other. Instead, it spreads cosiness for everyone to gather around.

It also helps to create a cosy atmosphere in true Danish style. When we gather around the flag, something very special happens. Together with our nearest and dearest, we look forward to paying tribute to or celebrating someone we love. Despite the small size of the table flag, it still has a big impact on many of us.
