Estonia Independence Day 2021

Google Dooles 23.02.2021 23:49  Date: February 24, 2021 A little over a century ago, a reading of the Manifesto to the Peoples of Estonia announced the nation’s sovereignty to a jubilant crowd underneath the balcony of Pärnu’s Endla Theatre. The following day, on February 24, 1918, this declaration of Estonia’s independence was made official in the capital of the city of Tallinn, and the Republic of Estonia was born. Today’s Doodle celebrates this glorious anniversary, recognized each year as Estonia’s Independence Day. As the annual ceremonies begin with a hoisting of the tri-color national flag raised above the Tall Hermann, a stone tower at the corner of Tallin’s historic Toompea Castle, Estonians can tune into a broadcast of the traditional celebrations from the comfort of their own homes. Speeches of local dignitaries, a concert, and the laying of wreaths at Vabaduse Square are all a part of a television program organized in honor of Estonia's 103rd birthday. So what better time than today to enjoy a Kiluvõileib, a traditional Estonian open-faced sandwich topped with a sprat filet! Happy Independence Day, Estonia! Location: Tags: , , , ,
