Meaning & history of the Guatemala flag
Guatemala's flag has two sky-blue bands framing a white centre bearing the coat of arms. Blue represents the two oceans and the sky, white purity and peace. The arms feature a resplendent quetzal — the national bird and a symbol of liberty — perched above a scroll dated 1821, the year of independence, with crossed rifles and swords.
