The Flag of Lithuania consists of three horizontal stripes: yellow at the top, green in the middle, and red at the bottom. The yellow represents the sun and prosperity, the green symbolizes the forests and nature, and the red stands for the blood shed for freedom. This tricolor design was officially adopted on March 20, 1989, during the country's movement for independence from the Soviet Union. The flag's colors have historical significance, reflecting Lithuania's cultural heritage. It is often displayed during national holidays and events, serving as a symbol of national pride and unity among the Lithuanian people.
