A day of significance.
Contexte culturel
On a 'vigtig dag', Danes almost always raise the Dannebrog (the flag). If it's a private celebration, they use small flags on the table. National Day (June 21st) is the ultimate 'vigtig dag', celebrated with traditional clothing and 'kaffemik'. Ólavsøka is a 'vigtig dag' where the whole community gathers in Tórshavn. Danes value punctuality especially on a 'vigtig dag'. Being late is seen as a sign of disrespect for the day's importance.
