Flag and symbols
Three equal horizontal bands—red, white, and green from top to bottom—form the flag. Folklore assigns red strength, white faithfulness, and green hope; alternatively, these colors can stand for blood spilled in defense of the land, freedom, and pasturelands. It fuses medieval colors of the Hungarian coat of arms with the French flag's revolutionary tricolor. The Holy Crown of Hungary (Crown of Saint Stephen) is a national symbol.
