Greece

Description

Celebrate the birthplace of democracy and Western civilization with this striking 3×5 ft Greece National Flag, also known as the “blue and white” (Galanólefki). Officially adopted in 1978, the flag reflects Greece’s rich history, cultural pride, and deep connection to the sea and Orthodox faith.

The flag features nine alternating horizontal stripes of blue and white, symbolizing the nine syllables of the Greek motto:
“Ελευθερία ή Θάνατος” – “Freedom or Death”
This powerful phrase reflects the Greek struggle for independence from Ottoman rule in the 19th century.

In the upper hoist corner, a white cross on a blue field represents the Greek Orthodox Church, which has played a pivotal role in the country’s national identity.

Crafted from durable, fade-resistant polyester, this flag is ideal for indoor or outdoor display. It features double-stitched edges for enhanced durability and two rust-proof brass grommets for secure mounting. Perfect for Greek national holidays, Independence Day (March 25), Ohi Day (October 28), festivals, embassies, or personal heritage displays.
