The National Flag
The National Flag of Brazil comprises a green
background with a yellow rhombus or diamond shape in the centre. The yellow
represents gold, or the wealth of Brazil, while the green symbolises the rich
foliage and rolling fields of this beautiful country. In the middle of the
yellow is a dark blue circle, littered with white stars. This represents the
night sky and each of the 27 stars stands for a state. Across the centre of the
blue sphere is a banner with the words “Ordem e Progresso”, which, when
translated, reads “Order and Progress”.
The Coat of Arms
The Brazilian
Coat of Arms features an intricate design of several features. There is a
green, red and yellow star with five points. In the centre is a blue circle,
which has a tobacco plant on one side of its border and a coffee plant on the
other. In the blue circle are stars – the Southern Cross, surrounded by 27
small white stars representing each of the states of Brazil. Behind this composite
image is a multi-pointed round shape, resembling the sun. At the bottom of the
Coat of Arms is a blue banner bearing the words “República Federativa do
Brasil”, which translates to “Republic of Brazil”, as well as the date on which
it achieved such political status, 15 November 1889.
