Meaning & history of the Denmark flag
Denmark's flag, the Dannebrog, is a white Scandinavian cross on a red field and is often cited as the oldest continuously used national flag. Legend holds it fell from the sky during a 1219 battle in Estonia. The off-centre cross became the template for all Nordic flags, symbolising the region's shared Christian heritage.
