that the flag today still looks very much the same as it was in 1666.
The banner has a red field with a green star and black border. The
size of the star compared to the dimensions of the banner itself has a
ratio of 2:3. There are several versions available for the present
flag. There is one version where you will notice the civil symbol on
the upper left portion. There is another version where the civil
ensigns are found on all corners. The ensign symbol appears in yellow
and appears like a crown with lone star at the top.
If you research more on the history of Morocco, the flag actually
stands for the royal bloodline of people originating way back to the
Prophet Muhammad. The descendants of the great prophet were related to
Fatima, the wife of Ali. Red is a dominant color on the flag because
it holds a lot of meaning for the Imams of Yemen and the Mecca
Sharifs. The flag three hundred years ago was also red but without a
star. The banner was used to represent the forefathers of Morocco.
In 1915, the country changed government and Mulay Yusuf became the
nation’s leader. Yusuf chose to add the Seal of Solomon on the banner,
which was green and bright. The seal looked like an interlaced star.
The Seal of Solomon has six points at first and was also called the
Star of David. During World War I, the flag was changed to feature
only five points.
