Sweden Adopted Its Flag

In the year 1906, The flag of Sweden is adopted. Sweden's national flag is a light blue field with a yellow or gold Nordic cross (a horizontal cross reaching to the margins, with the crossbar closer to the hoist than the fly). The Nordic cross has long been associated with Christianity. The current coat of arms of Sweden, which is blue separated quarterly by a cross pattée of gold and modelled on the Danish flag, is thought to have inspired the design and colours of the Swedish flag. Since Magnus III's royal coat of arms in 1275, blue and yellow have been used as Swedish colours.
