Meaning & history of the Finland flag
Finland's flag is a blue Scandinavian cross on a white field. The blue represents the country's thousands of lakes and the sky, and white the snow that covers the land in winter. Adopted in 1918 after independence from Russia, its off-centre cross places Finland within the family of Nordic flags.
