Flag of Greek Macedonia Greece The flag of Greek Macedonia, also known as the Vermillion-Blue Flag or the Veria Flag, is a historical and symbolic emblem associated with the region of Macedonia in modern-day Greece. The design features three equal horizontal bands of vermilion (orange-red) and blue, with the vermilion band at the top and bottom, and the blue one in the middle. This flag is significant as it represents the Macedonian struggle for autonomy during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1830). It was initially adopted by the Macedonian rebels under the leadership of Alexander Ypsilantis and later became a symbol of the Macedonian Movement for a separate administrative region within Greece. Despite not being an official national or regional flag, the Flag of Greek Macedonia holds cultural importance in the region and continues to be used by various Macedonian organizations around the world as a symbol of identity and pride.
