Varniai (Telsiai District) - on a red field a silver mounted
St. George slaying a green dragon with a golden lance. Flag
proportions 10:11, free edges bordered with a narrow silver
stripe, fringe is red, finial is a golden lance head. The charge
of arms granted in 1635 used St. George for two reasons:
(1) Varniai as the capital of Samogitia diocese was the
stronghold of Catholicism in its fight against Protestantism;
(2) St. George was the holy patron of Jurgis Tiskevicius, the
recently consecrated bishop of Samogitia.
