Why do you hang an Abraham flag when someone turns fifty?

An Abraham flag belongs to the Dutch tradition that a man who turns fifty looks like Abraham. The saying dates back to a text from the Gospel of John, in which it is said to Jesus that he is not yet fifty years old and yet would have seen Abraham. Women see Sarah on their fiftieth birthday. Family and neighbors traditionally place an Abraham doll in the front garden and hang decorations, so that the whole street knows there is something to celebrate.

From flag to a complete Abraham look

The man on the flag immediately gives you an outfit to copy: a bald head, glasses, an orange jacket and a walking stick. Dress the birthday boy like that, or let a friend open the door as a living Abraham, then the flag and the costume fit together seamlessly. Also keep the purple and orange of the flag in the rest of the decoration, with balloons and garlands in the same shades around it.

Order the Abraham 50 flag and show the whole neighborhood who is turning fifty.
