The Mexican flag consists of three vertical stripes: Red, White and Green. The Red stripe symbolizes the blood shed by those who died for Mexico; White stands for purity and hope; while the Green represents freedom and victory. The center of the flag features an Eagle holding a snake in its talons. This symbolizes strength and power, and serves as a reminder to remain vigilant against any enemies. All together, these colors and symbols represent the vibrant culture and history of Mexico, and are a strong symbol of national pride for many Mexican citizens.
