The flag of Greece, often called the “blue and white” or “sky blue and white,” is a powerful national symbol steeped in history and meaning.

Meaning
The Greek flag features nine horizontal stripes alternating blue and white, with a white cross on a blue square in the upper hoist-side corner. The stripes are said to represent the nine syllables of the phrase “Eleftheria i Thanatos” (“Freedom or Death”)—a revolutionary motto. The cross symbolizes Eastern Orthodox Christianity, the predominant faith of the Greek people.

History
The current flag was officially adopted in 1822 during the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire. While various designs have been used over the centuries, including versions without stripes or with royal insignia, the present design has remained unchanged since 1978. It reflects both Greece’s fight for independence and its deep religious roots.
