Mexico Flag

The flag of Mexico features three vertical stripes of green, white, and red. In the center of the white stripe is the national coat of arms, which depicts a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, holding a snake in its beak and talon. This emblem is deeply rooted in Aztec legend, symbolizing the founding of Mexico City on the spot where the eagle was seen. The green stripe represents hope and prosperity, white stands for purity and unity, and red symbolizes the blood of those who fought for Mexico’s independence. Officially adopted in its current form in 1968, the flag reflects Mexico’s rich history, culture, and national pride.
