VALDEMARS DAY
June 15th commemorates the day Dannebrog (the flag of the Kingdom of Denmark) according to myth fell from heaven, during Valdemar the Victorious campaign against the Estonians in 1219.
Near the capital city of Tallinn, the Estonians feigned their surrender before brutally going on the assault against the Danes with a surprise attack.
The Danes came close to defeat, but when all hope seemed lost, Dannebrog miraculously fell from the heavens. The king raised the flag high above his head which filled the Danes with courage. They pushed forward and won the battle.
The flag of Denmark is the oldest national flag in the world and since its first appearance it has filled the hearts of Danes with pride and courage.
In Active Club Denmark we're immensely proud to be the descendants of such courageous ancestors. They too went through times where everything seemed hopeless, but like them we will rally under Dannebrog and revive the spirit of our nation.
Happy Valdemars Day to our followers! 🇩🇰
