The flag is called Merkið, which means “the banner” or “the mark”. The white symbolises the foam of the sea and the radiant sky of the Faroe Islands, the blue and red representing the Faroe Islands’ bonds with other Nordic countries. The Faroese flag was devised in 1919 by Jens Oliver Lisberg, Thomas Pauli Dahl and Janus Øssurson. The flag was recognized by the Danish Government as the national flag of the Faroes on the 23 March, 1948.
Flag Day April 25.
