What is Finnish Independence Day?
Finnish Independence Day on December 6 marks 1917, when the Finnish parliament declared independence from Russia in the turmoil after the Russian Revolution. It is a quiet, dignified holiday: many families light two blue-and-white candles in their windows in the evening. Millions watch the President's Independence Day reception at the Presidential Palace on television, and there are ceremonies at war graves and a torch parade by students.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
