What does the flag of Honduras mean?
Honduras places five turquoise-blue stars in a quincunx, an X pattern, on the white band of its flag: they stand for the five nations of the former Federal Republic of Central America, and for the hope that those nations might one day form a union again. The two outer blue bands represent the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, which Honduras borders on both sides, and also the blue sky and brotherhood. The white band between them represents the land lying between the two seas, the peace and prosperity of its people, and purity of thought.
