Mexico Flag Day

In fact, the flag is such a source of pride that it even has its own holiday – Día de la Bandera or Flag Day, which takes place every February 24 and is considered a national holiday.

The flag’s design is mainly three vertical stripes colored red, white, and green. In the middle is the country’s national crest with an eagle resting on a cactus and holding a serpent in one talon. It was originally designed back in 1821 and has since remained mainly the same, albeit undergoing some minor changes within the last 200 years.
