| The Jelling stones (Danish: Jellingstenene) are massive carved runestones from the 10th century, found at the town of Jelling in Denmark. | WIKI |
| The larger of the two stones was raised by King Gorm's son, Harald Bluetooth, in memory of his parents, celebrating his conquest of Denmark and Norway, and his conversion of the Danes to Christianity. | WIKI |
| The runic inscriptions on these stones are considered the best known in Denmark. | WIKI |
| The stones are strongly identified with the creation of Denmark as a nation state. | WIKI |
| The larger stone explicitly mentions the conversion of Denmark from Norse paganism and the process of Christianization, alongside a depiction of the crucified Christ; it is therefore popularly dubbed "Denmark's baptismal certificate" (Danmarks dxc3xa5bsattest), an expression coined by art historian Rudolf Broby-Johansen in the 1930s. | WIKI |
| The Heritage Agency of Denmark decided to keep the stones in their current location and selected a protective casing design from 157 projects submitted through a competition. | WIKI |
