Betty Ehrenborg, married name Posse af Säby (22 July 1818 – 22 July 1880), was a Swedish writer, psalm writer and pedagogue. She is regarded as the founder of the Swedish Sunday school. Life Katarina Elisabeth (nicknamed Betty) Ehrenborg was the daughter of the noble Parliamentary Ombudsman Casper Ehrenborg and the writer Anna Fredrica Carlqvist. She was raised at the family estate Råbäck at Kinnekulle. Her sister Maria Ulrika (Ulla) Ehrenborg was the wife of Bishop Ebbe Gustaf Bring. In 1842, she and her mother moved to Uppsala to be near her brother, Richard, who studied at Uppsala University.

Swedes
Swedes ( sv, svenskar) are a North Germanic ethnic group native to the Nordic region, primarily their nation state of Sweden, who share a common ancestry, culture, history and language. They mostly inhabit Sweden and the other Nordic countries, in particular Finland where they are an officially recognized minority, with a substantial diaspora in other countries, especially the United States. Etymology The English term "Swede" has been attested in English since the late 16th century and is of Middle Dutch or Middle Low German origin. In Swedish, the term is ''svensk'', which is from the name of '' svear'' (or Swedes), the people who inhabited Svealand in eastern central Sweden, and were listed as ''Suiones'' in Tacitus' history '' Germania'' from the first century AD. The term is believed to have been derived from the Proto-Indo-European reflexive pronominal root, , as the Latin ''suus''. The word must have meant "one's own (tribesmen)". The same root and original mean ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Free Church
A free church is a Christian denomination that is intrinsically separate from government (as opposed to a state church). A free church does not define government policy, and a free church does not accept church theology or policy definitions from the government. A free church also does not seek or receive government endorsements or funding to carry out its work. The term is especially relevant in countries with established state churches. An individual belonging to a free church is known as a free churchperson or, historically, a free churchman. In Scandinavia, free churchpersons would include Christians who are not communicants of the majority national church, such as the Lutheran Church of Sweden. In England, where the Church of England was the established church, other Protestant groups like Calvinists (Presbyterians and Congregationalists), Baptists, the Plymouth Brethren, Methodists and Quakers are among those counted as free churches. History The free church model is his ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Year 188 (CLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Monday of the Julian calendar. At the time, it was known in the Roman Empire as the Year of the Consulship of Fuscianus and Silanus (or, less frequently, year 941 ''Ab urbe condita''). The denomination 188 for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

När Juldagsmorgon Glimmar
"När juldagsmorgon glimmar" (Swedish for "When Christmas morning glimmers") is a Swedish Christmas song. Betty Ehrenborg-Posse wrote the text in 1851 to the tune of the German student song from 1819, "Wir hatten gebauet ein stattliches Haus". Christmas lyrics The Swedish adaptation is often sung in homes, in schools and sometimes in Saint Lucia's Day processions. It was originally used by the Swedish free church movement. The lyrics includes childhood references that were removed when the song was included in the hymnal ''Den svenska psalmboken'' (1986), and replaced with an adapted version of the lyrics that was originally published in 1906 in the song book '. Who made this adaptation is unknown. The song has been recorded by Agnetha Fältskog on her 1981 Christmas album ''Nu tändas tusen juleljus'', by Hasse Andersson on '' Jul i Kvinnaböske'' from 1986, and by Kikki Danielsson on '' Min barndoms jular'' from 1987.

Wir Hatten Gebauet Ein Stattliches Haus
"Ich hab mich ergeben" (, ), originally titled "Gelübde" ("Vow"), is a German patriotic song. The text was written in 1820 by Hans Ferdinand Maßmann. It was one of the unofficial national anthems of West Germany from 1949 to 1952, when the "Deutschlandlied" was officially reinstated. Its tune is now used in the Micronesian national anthem. History The national anthem of the Federated States of Micronesia, "Patriots of Micronesia", uses the same tune, as does the Estonian song "Mu Isamaa armas" ("My beloved native land" by Martin Körber) which used to be Estonia's official flag song until 2009 when it was replaced by Gustav Ernesaks's "Mu Isamaa on minu arm" ("My homeland is my love"). The melody is quoted by Johannes Brahms in his ''Academic Festival Overture''. The Deutschlandfunk used the motif to the words "dir Land voll Lieb und Leben" as its interval signal. The second stanza includes the words "land of the free", similar to the well-known words of "The Star-Spangled B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Visan Om Solen, Månen Och Planeterna
Visan om solen, månen och planeterna is a poem written by Betty Ehrenborg-Posse, published in 1868 in '' Folkskolans läsebok''. As a song it is, just like the Anthem of Europe, sung to the same tune as Beethoven's 9th symphony. The lyrics teach geography, astronomy and the four Northern Hemisphere temperate seasons. Nowadays, often just the closing verse is sung, named ''Månaderna'', ''Januari börjar året'', ''Månadsvisa'' or ''Visan om året''. In the 1977 children's song book '' Smått å gott'', the lyrics ''rika härliga framgå'' have been replaced by ''Härlig sommar är det då''. Publication *Nu ska vi sjunga, 1943, under the lines "Årstiderna", credited as "old rhyme". * Smått å Gott, 1977 (as "Månaderna", credited as an "old rhyme", with "music out of Beethoven's 9th symphony") * Barnvisor och sånglekar till enkelt komp, 1984, credited as music out of Beethovens 9th symphony) as well as using "Oh My Darling, Clementine" as an alternate tune, splitting the firs ...

Maria Cederschiöld (deaconess)
Anna Maria Cederschiöld (20 November 1815 in Växjö - 7 January 1892 in Lund) was a Swedish noble deaconess and nurse. She was a pioneer in the education of deaconesses and nursing in Sweden, and the first head of the first Deaconess institution in Sweden, Ersta diakoni, in 1851-1862. Life She was the daughter of the vicar in Forsheda, Kasper Hakvin Cederschiöld, and Helena Sofia Ingelman. She was engaged to her foster brother, but the engagement was broken by his death, an event which is thought to have caused her interest in religion and introduced her in religious circles. She was educated at home and managed a girls school in Lund in 1848-49, before she was promised the place as head of the future Deaconess Institution, which was at that point planned to be founded in Stockholm. In order to prepare herself, she studied the deaconess institution in Germany 1850-51, before she returned to take her place as head of the Ersta Diakoni in Stockholm, which was founded upon her re ...

Fredrika Bremer
Fredrika Bremer (17 August 1801 – 31 December 1865) was a Finnish-born Swedish writer and feminist reformer. Her ''Sketches of Everyday Life'' were wildly popular in Britain and the United States during the 1840s and 1850s and she is regarded as the Swedish Jane Austen, bringing the realist novel to prominence in Swedish literature. In her late 30s, she successfully petitioned King Charles XIV for emancipation from her brother's wardship; in her 50s, her novel '' Hertha'' prompted a social movement that granted all unmarried Swedish women legal majority at the age of 25 and established Högre Lärarinneseminariet, Sweden's first female tertiary school. It also inspired Sophie Adlersparre to begin publishing the ''Home Review'', Sweden's first women's magazine as well as the later magazine '' Hertha''. In 1884, she became the namesake of the Fredrika Bremer Association, the first women's rights organization in Sweden. Early life Fredrika Bremer was born into a Swedis ...
