Hyvää Itsenäisyyspäivää

(Päivitetty versio 6.12.2023)

105 vuotta

Today we celebrate Finlands independence day. With 105 years of independence and mostly peace, it is easy to get comfortable in the stability we have achieved. World politics change though. And with that, our own trajectory must adapt as a whole. Our society is never done. It is never finished. As we grow old, younger people take our place. It is their world then. So don’t ask what is best for us, here, now. Ask what will be good for everyone in the long run. Equality. Justice. Prosperity. Political slogans, but certainly things that we can not take for granted. Especially seeing what is happening in the world around us. The world is a work in progress. Always will be. Our tiny nation is no exception. . . . #bladepoint #itsenäisyyspäivä #wip #customknives #knifemakingsupplies #knifemakingcommunity #messermacher #huntingknife #couteauartisanal #puukko #puukkoknife #tollekniv #finnishdesn #knifemaking #knifelife #customknifemaker (på/i Finland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl0fzFGse71/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Finnish national flag and state flag

The usual national flag is used by all citizens, organizations and Finnish municipalities and regions. Anyone is allowed to fly the national flag whenever they deem it suitable.

The rectangular state flag is used by bodies of the Finnish national and provincial governments, by the Cathedral Chapters of the two national churches (Evangelical Lutheran and Orthodox), and non-naval vessels of the state.

Vapaus, sana meille soipa,

Väinön virsi kaikkivoipa,

kauas kuulu, kauas kaiu,

Suomen rantamilla raiu!

Vapaus, teille vankilasta,

muille kerran koituu vasta,

mutta elää vapaa henki

halki Suomen surujenki.

- Eino Leino
