Swedish National Day Celebrations in the U.S.

• 

  According to an earlier list, Sweden is the best place to be. The list takes into account factors like human rights, environment, democracy, corruption, freedom of press, equality, the peace and happiness of the people, and competitiveness. Above is the Swedish flag. According to mythology, the 12th century Swedish King Eric the Holy saw a golden cross in the sky as he landed in Finland during the First Swedish Crusade in 1157. Seeing this as a sign from God, he adopted the golden cross against a blue background as his banner. (The cross then became yellow, to make it easier and cheaper to make).
