Belarus's flag carries red over green horizontal bands with a vertical white-and-red decorative ornament at the hoist. Red recalls the past and the fight against fascism, green the forests and future. The ornamental pattern is drawn from traditional Belarusian woven textiles, representing the nation's folk culture and heritage.
