Mexican Flag - Official National Symbol of Mexico #2250771 (License: Personal Use)

The flag of Mexico consists of three equal vertical bands: green (hoist side), white, and red, with the national coat of arms centered on the white band. The emblem depicts a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus, devouring a rattlesnake-a symbol rooted in Aztec legend and the founding of Tenochtitlan. The colors represent independence (green), purity and religion (white), and the blood of national heroes (red).
