Flags all over the world have many styles and colors in common. An example is the symbol of a star wherein there are about 50 countries that use star as a very significant symbol to represent a portion about certain countries. The United States of America’s flag is the most popular country flag that has stars that even the national anthem’s title is “Star Spangled Banner”. But contrary to popularity of a flag symbol, there is one country that uses the bible as a very significant flag symbol. That cis the country of the Dominican Republic.
The flag of the Dominican Republic has the colors blue, red and white. These colors are influenced by the colors of the Haitian flag, the country that once controlled the Dominican Republic. It is said that the color combination symbolizes the blood and sacrifices of their heroes, salvation and liberty. It is also believed that the color scheme was influenced by Juan Pablo Duarte, the founding father of the Trinitarians, whose idea too was to alter the position of blue and red colors and add a white cross to represent the faith of people.
At the middle of the flag features an emblem that has the symbols of a cross and a bible. The cross and the bible are important symbolism because these represent the faith and that majority of the population of the country is Roman Catholic. Another unique feature of the flag is that it has four other flags in the design.
