THE MEXICAN FLAG

Green: The Independence Movement - Hope
White: The purity of the Catholic faith - Purity
Red: Spaniards that joined in the quest for independence / The blood of the national heroes - Union
The emblem-shield: The Aztec heritage. According to a beautiful legend, the gods had advised the Aztecs that the place where they should establish their city was to be identified when they saw an eagle, perched in a prickly pear tree, evouring a serpent.  They saw this mythical eagle on a marshy lake that is now the zócalo or main plaza in Mexico City.
