Syriac-Aramean flag

The Syriac-Aramean flag, also known as the Syriac flag, the Aramean flag, or the Suryoyo flag, is the flag of the Syriac-Aramean people. The first version of the flag was very similar to the one used today. It was created in 1980 by a journal called Bahro Suryoyo (Syriac Light), which was a part of the Syriac Federation of Sweden. The final version of the flag was finished in early 1982.

On July 16, 1983, a group called the World Council of Arameans (Syriacs) officially approved the flag during a meeting in New Jersey. This group is an international organization that is not part of any government.

The design of the flag was based on an ancient symbol called the Winged Sun. The designers changed the sun in the middle to a torch which represents the Holy Spirit in Christianity.
