6 December - Finland Independence Day
The day has been a public holiday with pay since 1929. Independence Day was added to the calendar in 1934, when it also became an official flag day.
The Finnish people feel deeply that they cannot fulfil their national and universal duty except by being completely free. Our centuries-old aspiration for freedom must now be realised; the Finnish people must join the other peoples of the world as an independent nation.
This is what P. E. Svinhufvud said at the Diet on 4 December 1917. The Declaration of Independence was published the following day and on 6 December 1917 the Finnish Parliament approved the Declaration. Finland's form of government, the Republic, was formalised in 1919.
