Crown Princess Victoria Celebrates Name Day

Monarch-in-training: Crown Princess Victoria

Today, Sweden celebrates the name day of their future queen, Crown Princess Victoria, by flying their blue and yellow flags. Name days, as we discussed in yesterday's post, were once a way to celebrate the saints we were named after, but have now become something of a 'second birthday.' This practice is deeply embedded in Swedish tradition and widely celebrated.

Grattis På Namnsdag, Kronprinsessan Victoria!
