There are two recognized definitions of the term "'''Flag Day'''". The first definition is used to designate a day to fly a [[flag]] of a certain area, mostly that of nations; the second definition is used to designate a day set aside to honor an event specifically involving a national flag (e.g. creation/adoption). |

Flag days are usually codified in national [[statutes]], however, a decree by a head of state of the specific country can also order flag days. The display of the [[national flag]] on this day, mainly to fix it at either full or half staff. The locations of where the flags are flown (and how are they flown) can be also dictated by national law or [[decree]]. |
