Finland Independence Day

December 6Sweden and Russia contended for Finland for almost 700 years. The Finnish people lived under Russian control beginning in 1809.

They did so on December 6 of that same year. This day is a national holiday celebrated with military parades in Helsinki and performances at the National Theater. It is traditionally a solemn occasion that begins with a parade of students carrying torches and one flag for each year of independence.
