1. The 17th of May: A day of independence and inheritance
On the 17th of May 1814, the Norwegian Constitution was signed at Eidsvoll, declaring Norway to be an independent nation. The annual festivities that mark the day have become symbolic of Norway’s cultural and political identity, providing an opportunity to celebrate and commemorate the historic events that led to the country’s liberation.

Norwegian Liberation Day – ‘Frigjøringsdagen’ – is inevitably overshadowed by the 17th of May festivities that follow 9 days later. Although the 8th of May is an official flag day in Norway, it is not a public holiday, and is not widely celebrated. Yet surely the occasion it marks deserves to be commemorated with equal significance?
