The Greek Flag The Greek flag has its current form since 1822. The blue color represents the Greek sky and sea. There are many versions about what the white color stands for, some of which are: 1 – the foam of the waves, 2 – the snow on the mountaintops, 3 – the purity of the fighters of 1821. It consists of 9 stripes, as many as the syllables of the motto of the Greek Independence struggle "Freedom or Death“. The cross stands for Christianity and states the deep-rooted connection between the country and Christianity.
