According to stories passed down for generations the Irish abbot St. Brendan in AD 565 went in search of The Promised Land of the Saints. One of the stories told of a visit to "The Islands of the Sheep and the Paradise of Birds" situated several days' sailing distance from Scotland. Based on this story and archeology excavations there is good reason to believe that Irish monks were the first settlers in the Faroe Islands.
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, who added the domain endorsed the ensign to be used by boats as a part of the Faroe Islands on April 25, 1940. April 25 is an open occasion in the nation and is seen as Flaggdagur everywhere throughout the country. The ensign was in the long run recognized by the Government of Denmark as the official banner of the Faroe Islands. The first form of the ensign is put on a show in the church building of Famjin, Suouroy. The present lighter blue shade was endorsed on June 5, 1959.
The ensign has been outlined similarly like other Nordic Crosses, which is the tradition built up by the Flag of Denmark or Dannebrog. The banner of Faroe Islands is called Merkio, which alludes to "the imprint" or "the pennant". The ensign has various likenesses with the banners 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 flag on all important occasions, including the Flaggdagur (Flag Day) observed on April 25 every year. The swallow-tailed variation of the flag is informally used in the islands as well. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Faroe Islands Flag for the future.
