Get ready to celebrate the vibrant and patriotic Flag Day of Romania on June 26! This special day honors the national flag of Romania, which has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. It was first adopted in its current form in 1989, after the Romanian Revolution, and has since become a symbol of unity and pride for the people of Romania. The flag features three colors – blue, yellow, and red – each with its own symbolic meaning. So let's raise our flags high and join in on the celebration of this important national holiday!
