If you have heard the song “Star Spangled Banner”, the national anthem of US, the star plays a significant role. The star is not only mentioned in the song of United States but it is also very significant in their national flag. Similar with US, there are around 50 more countries that have the symbol of a star in their country flags. In fact, star is the most popular flag symbol for all countries. Nonetheless, there are countries that use other symbols as flag designs. The Dominican Republic uses the symbol of a bible for their national flag.
The flag of Dominican Republic has the colors of blue, white and red. For the people of the country, the colors represent freedom and blood of their heroes who fought for liberty. It is said that the colors came from Haiti, a Carribbean country that once in control of Dominican Republic. Another story is that the color scheme came from the idea of Juan Pablo Duarte, the founder of the Tinitarians. He suggested changing the color scheme by repositioning the colors red and blue and adding a white cross to symbolize faith of the people.
Truly the flag of the Dominican Republic is unique because it features four other flags. These are miniature flags but without the emblems at the center. These flags are attached together by spears that are connected through the symbols of a cross on top on a bible.
