Flag of Paraguay



         


The flag of Paraguay was adopted in 1842. The emblems and proportions have varied over time.

The Paraguayan flag has three bright stripes on it that are colored red, white, and blue. The colors were influenced by French Tricolore, which is a symbol of liberation. The color symbolism is very rich to Paraguayan people. The red stands for patriotism, courage, heroism, equality and justice; white for purity, firmness, union, and peace; and blue for tranquility, love, knowledge, verity, and liberty. The emblems on the two sides of the flag were different until they were modified to only have the national coat of arms. One is the National Coat of Arms. This is a yellow five pointed star within a green wreath capped by the words Republica de Paraguay. The star of May represents the date of Independence, May 14, 1811. The back side is of the National flags |- | | List of national flags | Gallery of national flags |- | | List of national coats of arms |}
