The blue-black-and-white flag was blessed (blessed) on June 1884, 4, in the church of Otepya. Every year on June 4, Estonia celebrates an important holiday - National Flag Day. The blue color in the flag is a symbol of heaven, black is the mother earth, white is the color of purity and hope. Adding colors together in this way is unique, it is not used in any other national flag. The flag of the Republic of Estonia received state status in 1922 and hung on the Long German Tower until 1940. In the early 1990s, on the anniversary of the Republic of Estonia, the Estonian people once again openly carried a blue-black-and-white flag in their hands. It was reaffirmed as the state flag on August 1990, 7. The flag is raised above the Long German Tower at sunrise and lowered at sunset. The raising of the flag is followed by the melody of the Estonian anthem. On holidays, flags are raised everywhere.
