La bandera:

Bandera de México (Flag of Mexico)

Originally, the colors of the Mexican flag held different meanings than today. The
green stripe was said to represent Mexico’s independence from Spain. The color red
indicated the union between the Americas and Europe, as the elite class still identified
with its European roots. The white color was established to symbolize the purity of the
Catholic religion.

Today, the meaning behind the colors has changed. Green represents hope, white
symbolizes purity and red stands for the blood of the heroes who fought for independence.
The image in the central white strip which is an eagle standing on a cactus plant and
eating a snake, represents the myth of the foundation of Tenochtitlán, the capital of the
Aztec Empire.
