Greece National Flag - Symbol of Hellenic Heritage and Identity #82982 (License: Personal Use)

The Greek flag consists of nine equal horizontal stripes of blue and white, with a blue canton bearing a white cross in the upper left corner. The nine stripes symbolize the nine syllables of the phrase “Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος” (Freedom or Death), while the blue and white represent the sky and sea of Greece and the purity of the struggle for independence. Adopted in 1822 during the Greek War of Independence, it remains a powerful emblem of national pride and Orthodox Christian heritage.
