World’s most beautiful flag. 

An online poll to determine the most beautiful national flag in the world has ended with Mexico as the winner by a large margin over Peru. The Spanish website “20minutos” reports having over 7 million votes throughout the contest which included flags from 104 different countries. Mexico garnered 901 627 points, with second place Peru earning 340 901 and third place Guatemala 272 541.

The Mexican flag is not only beautiful to behold, but it has a lovely sense of symbolism and history. The green stripe is said by some to represent the hope of the independence movement, white is for purity and peace and red for bravery, valor and for the blood of the national heroes who defended their land against Spain. According to legend, the Aztec people were told they should establish their city in the place they found the “caracara” holding a snake in its mouth, perched on a cactus and thus the central design element of the flag captures this piece of mythology/history. The flag was created in 1821 after the battle for independence was won, though the current version was approved on September 16, 1968. “Dia de la Bandera” or “Flag Day” is celebrated across Mexico on February 24th.
