Significado de la Bandera

The national flag of Lebanon (Arabic: العلم الوطني للجمهورية اللبنانية) is a horizontal triband of two red stripes enveloping a central white stripe which is twice the height of each red stripe. Centered on the white stripe is a green cedar of Lebanon tree (Cedrus libani), touching both red stripes. The cedar tree, a national symbol for centuries, stands for immortality, resilience, and hope, embodying Lebanon's identity as the "Land of the Cedars". In 1979, 21 November was declared as National Flag Day to honor the first flag-raising in 1943. The green cedar stands for immortality, steadfastness, and hope, serving as a unifying national symbol.
