Lebanese Flag: A Symbol of National Pride
A Horizontal Tricolor with a Central Cedar Tree
Design and Symbolism
The national flag of Lebanon is a horizontal tricolor flag composed of two red stripes enveloping a white stripe. The white stripe is twice the width of the red stripes, and a green cedar tree is centered on the white stripe. The width-to-length ratio of the flag is 2 to 3.
The red stripes symbolize the blood of Lebanese patriots shed in the struggle for independence. The white stripe represents peace and purity, while the cedar tree is a symbol of Lebanon's strength and resilience.
