Meaning & history of the Greece flag
Greece's flag has nine horizontal blue and white stripes with a white cross on a blue canton. The nine stripes are popularly linked to the syllables of the independence motto 'Eleftheria i Thanatos' (Freedom or Death). Blue and white evoke the sea and sky, and the cross affirms the Greek Orthodox faith central to the nation's identity.
