![[Flag of Lajinha, MG (Brazil)]](../images/b/br-mg-lj.gif)
image by Joseph McMillan
The flag of Lajinha was adopted by law no. 209/59. The flag is
described as two rectangles, one green and one red, with a vertical
white stripe separating them. The green and red represent coffee
(leaves and beans respectively), the traditional source of Lajinha's
wealth, while the white represents peace. In the upper hoist is a
red terrestrial globe, marked with
lines indicating meridians, the equator, the polar circles, and the
tropics; on the center a map of Brazil in white with Minas Gerais in
red. The location of Lajinha is indicated with a tiny representation
of Pedra Torta, a local tourist attraction. The motto, Gloria partis,
gloria omnis, is interpreted
to mean that what serves the glory of Lajinha also serves the glory
of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and even the world.
