Greek Flag - Symbol of Hellenic Heritage and National Identity #1474858 (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 hoist-side corner. The nine stripes symbolize the nine syllables of the Greek phrase “Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος” (“Freedom or Death”), while the cross represents the country’s strong Orthodox Christian heritage. Officially adopted in its current form in 1978, it is one of the world’s oldest national flags still in use.
