More about Sweden
National symbols
The national flag was created in the Middle Ages (Danebrog), the yellow cross can be traced back to the middle of the 15th century. The flag was last changed after the dissolution of the personal union with Norway in 1906. The blue cloth is divided by a yellow Nordic cross.
Sweden has two coats of arms: the “small national coat of arms” shows three golden crowns in a 2: 1 position (“three-crown coat of arms”) in the crowned blue shield. It is run by the state institutions. The “great national coat of arms” (“royal coat of arms”) was last established on May 15, 1908. It is a blue shield that a gold cross divides into four fields. The first and fourth fields are covered with three golden crowns. The second and third fields are blue-silver diagonally divided several times and covered with a golden lion (Folkunger lion). The heart shield is split, the heraldic right field is diagonally divided blue-silver-red and shows a golden vase (coat of arms of the Wasa), the left field a silver bridge over waves, above it two crossed golden bars, an eagle and seven stars (coat of arms of the Bernadotte, the ruling dynasty). The chain of the Order of the Seraphines is placed around the shield. Shield holders are two lions on a gold pedestal. The whole thing lies on a crowned Hermel-lined coat of arms.
The national holiday is June 6th, “Flag Day”. It commemorates the coronation of Gustav I. Wasa in 1523.
