The Dominican Republic is the only country in the world that includes a Bible in its national flag.T he Dominican flag has a white central cross that extends across the width and height of the flag. On the upper left near the hoisting side is an ultramarine blue rectangle. Below the left arm of the cross is a vermilion red rectangle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The modern interpretation of the meaning of the flag is simpler. Red symbolizes fire and the blood shed by the freedom fighters to free their homeland. White is the symbol of dignity and the dedication to peace and the peaceful character of the people of the Dominican Republic while blue represents the sky.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dominican Republic, a beautiful Caribbean island known by the warmth and fervour of its people. At first glance, the flag has\u00a0a large central white cross\u00a0and, right in the middle, at its heart, is the\u00a0Coat of Arms, which contains an open Bible topped by a small cross.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the gospel,\u00a0chapter and verse displayed was intentionally chosen. It is John 8, 32: \u201cThey will know the truth and the truth will set them free\u201d. The reality of God occupies a central place in the life of most\u00a0Dominicans, as their official flag reflects.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some even believe that it is this Christian devotion that protects them from the natural disasters that have hit, for example, neighbouring Haiti. However, the\u00a0Dominican Republic is the only nation with a Bible on its flag.<\/p>\n
