Happy National Day, Switzerland! By Sky4K | 天空4K Team (Sky4K LLC)

Happy National Day, Switzerland!

Today’s Doodle celebrates Switzerland National Day. On this day in 1291, the three forest cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden signed the Federal Charter and unified in the struggle against Habsburg rule. The charter is Switzerland’s oldest constitutional document and regarded as the foundation of the country. 

 

Swiss people commemorate the day with family gatherings, barbecues and parades. Rütli field, where the Federal Charter was signed, hosts an official celebration where the President of the Swiss Confederation addresses the nation before fireworks and bonfires.  

 

Throughout the country, locals gather in the streets waving flags that represent communities and cantons. Depicted in today’s artwork, the national flag of Switzerland features a white cross on a red field. Today the flag decorates homes, gardens, lanterns, and even food items.
