Significado de la Bandera

The national flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis consists of a yellow-edged black band containing two white stars that divides diagonally from the lower hoist-side corner, with a green upper triangle and red lower triangle. Adopted in 1983 to replace the flag of Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla, it has been the flag of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis since the country gained independence that year. The yellow stripes represent the sunshine the islands enjoy all year round, and the black epitomises the people's African origins. The golden field stands for sunshine.
