Constitution Day
A national holiday in Denmark
Constitution Day (Danish: Grundlovsdag) commemorates the anniversary of the signing of the Danish constitution of 1849, which established Denmark as a constitutional monarchy.
It additonally honors the constitution of 1953, which was adopted on the same day.
It is celebrated on the fifth of June of each year where almost all workplaces and shops are closed on this particular day.
The day, however, is not widely used to celebrate the constitution as is seen in other countries, for example Norway.
This day is also Father's Day in Denmark.
