Runeberg Day is celebrated on February 5th each year in Finland to honor the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg. He is best known for his poem "Maamme," which became the national anthem of Finland. The day marks the anniversary of his birth in 1804 and is a time to reflect on Finnish culture and literature. On Runeberg Day, it is traditional to enjoy Runeberg torte, a sweet pastry made with almonds and raspberry jam. Many schools and cultural institutions hold events to celebrate Finnish literature, and people often read Runeberg's works to commemorate his contributions to Finnish identity and language.
