About the flag of Greece
What it means: The cross stands for Christianity. The stripes have no official meaning, but they are often said to match the nine syllables of the phrase Freedom or Death.
Did you know? No exact shade of blue has ever been set by law, so Greek flags range from light to dark blue.
