The flag of Guatemala 🇬🇹 consists of three vertical stripes: two sky blue stripes on the outer sides and a white stripe in the middle. In the center of the white stripe, there is the Guatemalan coat of arms, which features a wreath of bay laurel branches and a scroll with the national motto "Libre Crezca Fecundo" (Grow Free and Fertile). The blue stripes represent the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, while the white stripe symbolizes purity and peace. The coat of arms represents the country's independence and includes various symbols such as a quetzal bird, crossed rifles, a parchment, and volcanoes.
