But at the same time, it has its ancestry that stretches back several hundred years in time. How it is celebrated, on the other hand, varies greatly between different places in Sweden, and in a way its existence is still controversial.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">We have taken a deep dive in Sweden&#039;s national day.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Old Sweden but modern tradition<\/h2>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Internationally, Sweden is one of the countries that has been united the longest. It is actually one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. But despite this, Sweden&#039;s national day is a fairly new phenomenon. It was not until the end of the 19th century that it was decided to celebrate Sweden as a united kingdom.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Today&#039;s history is interestingly closely linked to Skansen. The idea with Skansen has always been to represent a kind of living miniature of Sweden, which means that from the very beginning there was an idea to focus on Sweden as a nation state.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">When it was decided in 1893 to celebrate Sweden, it was decided to give feedback to June 6, 1523 when Gusta Vasa became king and also a symbol of a united Sweden.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">A fairly new holiday<\/h2>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">Although the celebration of Sweden&#039;s national day now extends more than a hundred years back in time, it was not until 2005 that it became a public holiday. It makes the day an exciting and both new and old phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">The celebration varies greatly between different places in Sweden. But as flag day, it is a given to hoist the Swedish flag. Unlike other holidays, there is really no real template for how the national day should be celebrated. Skansen in particular continues to be a common denominator and this is also where a large part of the celebration actually takes place. Whether the day will gain greater broad popular support, however, remains unclear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Skansen tells - Why do we celebrate Sweden&#039;s national day on 6 June?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7SdIPuWMo_k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sveriges nationaldag Trots sin v\u00e4ldiga s\u00e4rst\u00e4llning s\u00e5 har Sveriges nationaldag faktiskt inte varit helgdag s\u00e4rskilt l\u00e4nge.
