Every year on March 11, Saudi Flag Day is celebrated with such patriotic fervour that the country's buildings, streets, and neighbourhoods are covered with the national flag. As the flag, a representation of the Kingdom's rich history going back to its inception in 1727, is proudly flown across the country, the ceremonies mark the beginning of a day full of pride for the country.
The national flag, which is highly revered by Saudi people, represents honour and solidarity; raising it is a show of loyalty to the country. It gives the populace a strong sense of pride, unity, love, and loyalty as well as a strong sense of national belonging.
With its rich use of colour, calligraphy, and imagery, the flag's design conveys a deep sense of national togetherness, religion, and history. The white Shahada and sword stand for purity, justice, and security, while the predominant green colour represents growth and fertility.
The flag is treated with the utmost care and is never used for commercial purposes or in any way that would detract from its honour.
Saudi Flag Day was created by a recent royal decree and is observed on March 11 of each year to honour King Abdulaziz's 1937 approval of the present flag design. This day highlights the flag's significance as a powerful representation of the state's might, sovereignty, and unification as a whole, maintaining Saudis' sense of patriotism.
