According to Irish missionary Brendan, Celtic monks were already living in eremitic seclusion on the Faroes by the 6th century. Their isolation was ended from around AD800 when the first Norse farmers arrived. The farmers’ independence dwindled with the often forceful imposition of Christianity, and the isles became part of the Kingdom of Norway in 1035. The first bishops’ seat was established in Kirkjubøur.
Jens Oliver Lisberg composed the Faroe Islands banner in 1919 when he was experiencing his studies in Copenhagen. The main event when the Merkio was lifted in the region was on June 22, 1919, in Famjin amid a wedding event. It casually appeared in 1931.
The British authorities who annexed the territory sanctioned the ensign to be used by ships in the Faroe Islands on April 25, 1940. April 25 is a public holiday in the country and is observed as Flaggdagur all over the nation. With the introduction of the Home Rule Act, the ensign was eventually acknowledged by the Government of Denmark as the official flag of the Faroe Islands. The original version of the ensign is put on a show in the cathedral of Famjin, Suouroy. The current lighter blue shade was approved on June 5, 1959. Earlier, it used the blue color like Norway.
The ensign has been designed in a similar way like other Nordic Crosses, which is the convention established by the Flag of Denmark or Dannebrog. The flag of Faroe Islands is also known as Merkio, which refers to "the mark" or "the banner". The ensign has a number of similarities with the flags of Iceland and Norway, which are the neighbors of Denmark.
The white foundation symbolizes the spotless sky and the foam of the waves touching the shores of the island. The red and blue groups symbolize the hues used as a part of conventional Faroese headband.
Today, the Government of Faroe Islands uses the banner on exceedingly critical events, including the Flaggdagur (Flag Day), saw on April 25 consistently. Flag Company Inc decided to assist with the history development by providing special decals and banners to make it easy to build a bit of Faroe Islands Flag history right at home.
