The National Flag of The Dominican Republic comprises a centered white cross that extends to the edges and divides the flag into four rectangles. The top rectangles are of ultramarine blue (hoist side) and vermilion red, and the bottom ones are of vermilion red (hoist side) and ultramarine blue. A small coat of arms, featuring a shield that is supported by a laurel branch (left) and a palm branch (right), is positioned at the center of the cross. Placed above the shield is a ribbon, displaying the national motto: “Dios, Patria, Libertad” (“God, Fatherland, Liberty”). Below the shield, is a red ribbon displaying: “República Dominicana”. In the shield a bible is opened to a verse of the Gospel of John 8:32, that reads: "Y la verdad nos hara libres" (And the truth shall set you free). The blue color of the flag represents liberty; the white color symbolizes salvation and the red color symbolizes the blood of fighters during the struggle for independence. The cross is a symbol of the country’s religious heritage. The flag has a width-to-length proportion ratio of 5:8.
