Official Symbols of Bulgaria<br />
The national flag of the Republic of Bulgaria is in three colours: white, green and red bands,<br />
following horizontally from top to bottom.<br />
A legend associates the origin of these three colours with the colour symbols of the Old<br />
Bulgarian Army. Its left wing was set apart by white strips on the spears, the right one by red,<br />
while arranged in the centre were the elite troops with a green strip, the traditional colour of the<br />
ruler. The three-colour flag was first used by the First Bulgarian Legion of Georgi Rakovski<br />
(1861). By force of the Turnovo Constitution (1879), the three-colour flag - white, green and<br />
red, was confirmed as Bulgaria’s national flag.<br />
The coat-of-arms of the Republic of Bulgaria is a rampant gold crowned lion against a darkred<br />
background in the form of a shield. Above the shield there is a big crown, whose original<br />
shape was that of the crowns of medieval Bulgarian rulers, with five crosses and one other<br />
cross, separately, over the crown itself. The shield is supported by two golden crowned<br />
rampant lions, facing the shield from the left and right heraldic side. They are standing on two<br />
crossed oak tree twigs with acorns. Inscribed in golden letters onto a white strip with a threecolour<br />
edging, placed under the shield across the ends of the oak twigs, is Union is Strength.<br />
