Greece Flag - National Symbol of Hellenic Republic #16557 (License: Personal Use)

The Greek flag consists of nine equal horizontal stripes of blue and white, with a blue canton bearing a white Orthodox Christian cross. The nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the Greek phrase “Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος” (Freedom or Death), while the blue and white colors evoke the Aegean Sea and the sky, as well as national identity and faith. Officially adopted in 1978, it remains a powerful emblem of Greek sovereignty and heritage.
