This is not really their independence day, in that they are not independent of Denmark. Nor is it the day on which they celebrate their constitution; they have another holiday on which to do that. I don't know what Olaifest means, either, but you can bet it is one great party.

However, I cannot find a dictionary that will translate this! Argh.
