Every country has a flag that epitomizes it. Each flag is unique same as no country has the same origin, history and characteristics. As simple as the color of the flag can represent a certain story of a territory. In totality, country flags are very interesting to learn about.
Let us learn about the Mexican flag. Though the flag of Mexico already has its design in 1821 but the current flag design was used on the 16th of September 1968. The flag’s color was changed many times until the fourth time which is the current one. The flag is composed of three colors which are green, white and red. Each has distinct value and meaning. Mexicans value hope which is represented by color green, unity which is represented by color white, and patriotism and sacrifice of Mexicans who fought for independence which is represented by color red. This color has become the standard of Mexico and a symbolism of the their liberation army.
The design has three colors arranged vertically with the white color at the middle where the country’s coat of arms which is a picture of an eagle, on top of a cactus, eating a snake is placed. That badge at the middle is the only thing that distinguishes it from the Italian flag. It is said that the coat of arm came from an Aztec legend which told them to build a new nation where they saw the eagle eating a snake on top of a cactus.
Mexican Flag Day also known as "El Dia de la Bandera" is celebrated on February 24th,by Mexicans across the country. This day is commemorated as a unique holiday in admiration of traditional Mexican heritage. The Mexican Americans on this day pay homage to the flag of their native ancestral country- Mexico.
