The Lebanese Flag |
Article 5 of the Lebanese Constitution
The Lebanese flag shall be composed of three horizontal stripes, a white
stripe between two red ones. The width of the white stripe shall be equal to
that of both red stripes. In the center of and occupying one-third of the
white stripe is a green cedar tree with its top touching the upper red
stripe and its base touching the lower red stripe.
First hand drawn flag 11 November 1943

 Two
red-colored bands symbolizing martyrdom, surround horizontally a
white-colored band, symbol of the Lebanese snow-capped mountain peaks; in
the center of the flag, the cedar tree that characterized Lebanon since its
birth, serving to build temples and ships, thus inspiring immortality and
tolerance
Some people tend
to use the color brown when drawing the trunk of the Cedar. This is a common
mistake, the Cedar tree should be drawn in green. |

The National Anthem
All for the
country, for the glory, for the flag
From the beginning of centuries, our pencil and sword
Our field and mountains are making the men
Our word and work on the way of perfection
All for the country, for the glory for the flag
Young and old at the voice of the country
Lions of forest at the time of violation
Our east is its heart forever Lebanon Its
God protects it all over the time
All for the country, for the glory for the flag
Its sea, its land, are the pearl of the two orients
Its symbol, its charity, fill up the two poles
Its name is its triumph since the time of our grandfathers
Its glory is its cedars, its symbol is for the end of epochs
All for the country, for the glory for the flag |
