In February 1918, the Republic of Estonia proclaimed its independence from the Soviet Union, a powerful and symbolic act that became etched in the collective memories of the Estonian people. Today, a hundred years from that historic date, Estonia is celebrating this much-anticipated anniversary with a bang. At sunrise, the nation’s flag will be hoisted at Hermanni Tower in the capital city of Tallinn. Celebrations will continue with a military parade at Freedom Square in Tallinn and an evening reception at the Estonian National Museum (ERM) in Tartu, Estonia’s second biggest city.
Today’s Doodle of a waving flag captures the excitement and pride of the Estonian nation. The flag’s origins date back to 1881, while its colors are rooted in the country’s history, natural life, and treasured traditions. Blue symbolizes faith as well as the sky; black represents the soil or jackets worn by Estonian peasants of yore, and white signifies hope or pure white snow.
Let the centenary celebrations begin!
Happy National Day, Estonia! |
