Flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis

Saint Kitts and Nevis' flag features two white stars on a black diagonal band running from the lower hoist to the upper fly. Above the band is a green triangle, and below it is a red triangle. Yellow borders the black diagonal band on both sides.

The green color represents the fertile lands of the islands, while the red symbolizes the nation's struggle from slavery through colonialism to independence. Yellow embodies the sunshine that graces the islands and also represents the country's optimism. The black symbolizes the African heritage of the people, and the two white stars represent hope and liberty, as well as the two islands that comprise the nation.

The current flag of Saint Kitts and Nevis was officially adopted on September 19, 1983, upon the nation's independence from the United Kingdom. It replaced the flag of the Associated State of Saint Christopher and Nevis. The design was chosen from a competition, with Edrice Lewis's submission being selected as the winning entry. It has remained unchanged since its adoption.
