"In November 3, 1993 the session of the town council
approved the gonfalon: a square canvas with a ratio of 1:1. In a
white field there is a straight red Jura's cross. All four sides
of the gonfalon have a dark blue edging with yellow squares.
Width of the edging is 1/10, a cross is 1/5 from the width of the
gonfalon".

Heraldry:
"City in Lviv Oblast. The first mention about Bilyi Kamin'
refers to 1493. There is an opinion that thanks to the owner
Vyshnevets'kyi the settlement got the status of a town in the
XVII century. On the old seals there is a picture of St.Yuri
piercing a snake with a spear".

It seems that St.Yuri/Jura is the Ukrainian name for St.
George.
Mark Sensen, 7 July 1999
The Greek name Georgios that originated the English George
(and the portuguese Jorge) has originated two different names in
Russian: Yuri and Gueorgui. I suppose in Ukrainian it is similar,
since it is so closely related with russian.
Jorge Candeias, 8 July 1999
