The Mexican flag is full of symbolism. It consists of three vertical stripes: a green one a white one a red one. An eagle is in the middle. The green represents our independence, the white the purity of the catholic faith and the red the blood of our heroes who fought in wars. The eagle is on a cactus devouring a snake. This image comes from an Aztec prophecy in which the Aztecs were told by their god to form a city where they found an eagle eating a snake. We are taught to love and respect our flag. In school, we are told the story of a boy named Juan Escutia who fought in the Mexican-American war, during a battle at the castle of Chapultepec, when he saw a group soldiers from the opponent army approaching the flag he took it, wrapped it around his body and jumped from the top of the castle. He did not care to lose his life, as long as he was protecting the flag that represented his country. Mexican Flag Day is celebrated on February
