The flag of Norway is a red field with a blue cross outlined in white that extends to the edges of the flag. The cross is offset towards the hoist side (left side) of the flag. The design of the flag is based on the Danish flag, with the colors of the cross reflecting Norway's historical ties to Denmark.
The red color of the flag symbolizes the blood, bravery, and strength of the Norwegian people, while the blue cross represents Norway's strong connections to Christianity. The white border around the cross adds contrast and helps to define the shape of the cross against the red background.
Norway's flag is known as the "Nordic Cross" flag, as it is similar in design to the flags of other Nordic countries like Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. The flag was officially adopted on July 17, 1821, although variations of the flag had been used by the Norwegian military and merchant ships for many years prior to that.
The flag is flown prominently throughout Norway on national holidays and special occasions, and is also displayed at public buildings, schools, and private homes. It is a symbol of pride and identity for the Norwegian people, representing their history, culture, and values.
