The flag of Costa Rica was adopted in 1848. The colors of the flag share the ideals of French Revolution of 1848: freedom, equality, and brotherhood. Blue means the sky, opportunities at reach, intellectual thinking, perseverance to accomplish a goal, infinite, eternity, and ideals of the religious and spiritual desires. White means clear thinking, happiness, wisdom, power and beauty of the sky, the driving force of initiatives to search for new endeavors, and the peace of Costa Rica. Red means civilization of the century and the sun casting on Costa Rica the first rays of its true independence, the warmth of Costa Rican people, their love to live, their bloodshed for freedom, and their generous attitude.The seven stars in the coat of arms represent the seven provinces of the republic.
Many thanks Aloy and Edu!
