Norway's Independance Day ~ May 17th.

Yes that is right, I really do not understand it, even when my Mamma explained it to me...she said that in Norway they celebrate today because ....( you wont understand it either Dawgs, but I will tell you any way..(because she is making me )

After beeing under Danish rule for some 400 years Norway had her own revolution in 1814. A very peaceful revolution, consisted of calling a constituonal convention which declared that Norway is a free and indivisable kingdom. 

 

The constitution of the Kingdom of Norway proclaimed by the Constituent Assembly at Eidsvold on the 17th of May 1814. 

"There shall be liberty of the Press. No person must be punished for any writing, whatever its contents may be, which he has caused to be printed or published, unless he wilfully and manifestely has either himself shown or incited others to disobeidence to the laws, contemt of religion or morality or the constitutional powers, or resistance to their orders, or has advanced false and dematory accusations against any other person. Everyone shall be free to speak his mind frankly on the administration of the State or on any subject whatsoever."

The Constitution day is still the most celebrated in the nation. But it is not celebrated - as independence is in other nations - with large military parades and displais of the most terrifying military parades with arms and weapons. 

Norway`s birthday is celebrated with party-clothed children and adults who walk in a parade singing. 

This is the Day of an independent and freedom-loving people. And children`s parades is everywhere in the country. Everywhere - even in the smallest villages: Children are singing! 

Norway`s day of independence is the day for the future: It is the day for the children - Children of all ages: Young and old! 

 

Hurra Hurra Hurra~~(Mamma made me bark that too)

And last, Norway also won the Eurovison Grand Prix ( is like each country in Europe has their own American howling, and then one person wins, and then each country competes against all the other countries in Europe..it is so important that it made mamma cry red,blue and white ( colors of the Norwegian flag) tears...
